The Promenade Cafe

We went for a seafood buffet on Sunday during lunch time. While the staff are very attentive and helpful, I would have imagined the buffet options would have been more variable instead of just two fish options and some prawns and oyster. Otherwise the ambience is pleasant and enjoyable.

You're really just paying for the 'Hyatt ambience'. I don't think they can call their "Seafood buffet, " a buffet, given how few choice are actually seafood. You have one variety of mussels, cold cut prawns, fish and oysters. Pathetic.

Would give it a hard pass, many better buffets out there.

We have eaten here on several occasions. It's a lovely comfortable buffet style eating area situated at the back of the beautifully restored Hyatt Hotel. Entrance through the front of the Hotel is rather grand with lovely old trees and gardens surrounding the building. There seems to be plenty of parking, but it was busy during Floriade on one occasion we were there. It has good disabled access. It's a nice stroll through the centre to the Promenade Cafe. The food is good with hot and cold choices and a dessert stand. Maybe 6, hot food choices, plus cold meats, seafood, salads, the usual small buffet style selections. The food is always nice and there are plenty of dietary options, for allergies and intolerances. We like it because there is plenty of room, comfortable chairs, a beautiful outlook and reliable food with courteous staff.

The service was tip top, the atmosphere lovely, we went in for the breakfast buffet, lots of opinions and the some of the food was beautiful. The waiters are attentive and polite. The only let down is the price, for the amount you pay you kind of expect everything to be fantastic, but some is just okay. Still definately worth a try if you want a big breakfast in a nice setting.

To find the cafe you have to go into the reception through the front door, straight through the tables and keep going straight until you go past the piano, and then when you see black and white tiles you are there.
