Braybrook Hotel

Calamari is possibly the best I’ve had in Melbourne. Soft and tender without being rubbery. The staff are super helpful and friendly. I was able to feel confident that my Gluten Free requirement was being catered to. Oh, and the portion was not small. I got my money’s worth.

I've avoided buffets and buffet-style restaurants for well over a decade, but a family member wanted to go here for their birthday, so i went along. Shocked, I think is the right word to describe my reaction to the food actually being quite nice. Don't get me wrong, it's not what you'd find in a high-priced restaurant, and there are a lot of breaded and/or fried options (not all that much choice for gluten or carb-avoiders) but the selection was pretty solid, and the food was fresh, tasty and quite enjoyable. Not the sort of thing I'd go to weekly, but I'd happily go there with others a few times a year.
