All you can eat

cormie · 18-02-2005 3:55pm #1

Hi,
I'm looking for some recomendations on an all you can eat resteraunt/diner/cafe/anything in Dublin or its southern suburbs. I need a cheap meal that will fill me up, I hate these massive plates with a sauce spirals extending to the rim and about 3 mouthfulls of food in the centre. I want a good feed for a good price and I want to decide when I've had enough!!!!!! haha.
thanks!

Pizza Hut?

Pick stuff with lots of protein - that increases satiety.

18-02-2005 5:17pm

Shrimp · 18-02-2005 5:20pm

20 euro?

deedee lepoopoo · 18-02-2005 5:23pm

chanze chinese restaurant around the corner from the international pub in Dublin do an all u can eat buffet. I think it's 15 snickers.

Alternatively, bunk into a 21st birthday party for free all u can eat cocktail sausages, egg sambos and chicken wings.

cormie · 18-02-2005 5:24pm

Preferably healthy and no "softdrinks" included in a deal

cormie · 18-02-2005 5:25pm

€15 is a bit steep really... anywhere that would be say €7-10?

I got a good earlybird deal in an italian resteraunt up that road across from central bank that has JackJones shop on it, its up a laneway that leads to a carpark. I think it was €7.80 for starter main course and wine. You only have a choice of 3 starters and 3 main courses, the soup is very nice and you get loads, the main course is nice. Very creamy though!

Any similar places?

18-02-2005 5:27pm

Pizza Hut is €9.99 i think, and if you're under 12 its only €4.95

cormie · 18-02-2005 5:40pm

€9.99 all you can eat??? ooooh yeah!! If I told them I was under 12 would they have to believe me? So when is this AYCE available in pizza hut?

cajun_tiger · 18-02-2005 5:41pm

princess gardens in lucan beside the statoil in the village.. all you can eat 12euro

Blisterman · 18-02-2005 5:42pm

You could probebly buy more than all the chinese food you could eat for €15.

That was 'Steps of Rome' I love it there! Small menus are better than long confusing ones sometimes. A short menu means there's a frequent turnaround and preparation of food this = fresh!

Pizza Hut 'All you can' eat buffet is at lunchtimes. Its OK. Depending on what pizzas are out. the salad is pretty dire thoough.

18-02-2005 5:49pm

The AYCE in pizza hut is only availible during lunch hours on weekdays. 12:30- 2:30 i think. Free refills too.

cajun_tiger · 18-02-2005 5:55pm

chinese food its really nice

cormie · 18-02-2005 6:19pm

What times/days is it available on?

cajun_tiger · 18-02-2005 6:26pm

i think its all day it doesnt give times and i've been there on a saturday night and had the all you can eat menu

cormie · 18-02-2005 6:32pm

Cool

may give it a shot, thanks

any more suggestions? City based, good cheap food and enough to leave you satisfied.

Not the food in most chinese takeaways and the food in chanze is worse than that. 15 euros for the kind of food they are serving is a complete rip off.

Why not get 2 lunches at maloti , you can get 2 for less than 10 euro, I think that is pretty good. You can get free vouchers at www.grabit.ie, lots of other places also listed here

Blub2k4 · 21-02-2005 9:10am

Mongolian Barbecue has meal deals and it is all you can eat, cant remember the exact prices now but they are pretty good.

trotter_inc · 21-02-2005 3:53pm

There is a chinese in Parkwest (out by Clondalkin) which do "all you can eat" lunches for €10.88 (dont know where they got the 88 cent from) - good choice as well.

Repli · 24-02-2005 7:24pm

cajun tiger it is about 16 euro in princess garden now, but i thought it was pretty good value considering i had 5 plates of food in total

I think the number 8 is considered particularly lucky in Chinese culture - something to do with it sounding the same as the word 'rich' (presumably in Mandarin?)

Barbeque ey? Thanks!

tSubh Dearg · 26-02-2005 12:43am

The Mongolian Barbeque is fantastic! You choose what you want to eat and they cook it for you right there

You can eat sooo much! yummy yummy

cormie · 26-02-2005 1:35am

Yum! any idea on pricing for all you can eat?

DapperGent · 26-02-2005 1:40pm

I was there a few years ago and it was £10 for a big feed. So I'd say it's about €50 now.

cormie · 26-02-2005 3:21pm

Damn inflation. £10 is quite dear even so :mad:

Weird that time in Ri-Ra, distracting me from getting my as whipped at fußball, haha

I was drunk. I decided I was going to go challenge people at footie table and kick their asses, I then tried to pick up my glass and missed. I swiftly thought better of it.

Saruman · 27-02-2005 6:38pm

Mongolian BBQ is good but very small choice. i have yet to find a good range of stuff anywhere in Dublin. Went to a chinese place once that had like 6 possible options.. it was tiny!!! Problem is im a pescatarian.. i only eat Veg and fish which is more or less fine for most places but all you can eat just does not have the range here.. go to the US and you have so much to pick from.

I got a flyer for the one in parkwest and the buffet looks impressive and bid.. anyone actually been yet?

tSubh Dearg · 27-02-2005 6:48pm

The last time I was in the Mongolian Barbeque it was €16.99 for all you can eat dinner. But it is cheaper at lunch time and they also do an early bird rate.

rubadub · 27-02-2005 7:40pm

Do pizza hut and mongolian bbq have true all you can eat? I would want a single pizza with about 10-20 toppings so I am getting full on good stuff not pizza dough. And in the bbq can you just get say 5 chicken fillets and no "fillers" (bread,rice,potatoes). If that is the case €15 is a decent price since it would cost me more to buy the stuff and cook it myself.
Are drinks included? If not can you just get tap water or do they try to screw you on the drinks?

Yes I am a hungry bastard!

27-02-2005 7:43pm

for the pizza hut one, they just bring out pizzas for the buffet and keep topping them up. So it's usually just the basic stuff, plus salads.

Mongolian barbeque: you get rice included in the price, I'm fairly sure you can have tap water with it to drink.

You go up and take a bowl and fill it with whatever meat, fish, veggies, sauces, spices etc that you want to eat. You give it to one of the guys who cooks it for you on this huge hot metal plate. Then you go sit down and gobble it all up

PS: you don't have to eat the rice, I rarely do but it is nice to have something to mix with all the meat.

All you can eat
