Baygarden Seafood Buffet, Novotel Brighton Beach

| 1 Comment | No TrackBacks

With special thanks to my brother & Accor, Zen and I enjoyed a free scrumptious seafood buffet at the Baygarden restaurant. On a Saturday night dinner, this was worth $62 per person! Novotel Brighton Beach offers panaromic views of the airport and seaside. The restaurant captures this stunning environment with outdoor seating and a tropical interior design.

Desserts included mini fruit flans, a very luxurious sticky date pudding, mini orange and chocolate cakes, tiramisu, carrot cake, fruit salad, bread & butter pudding and lots of other tiny delicate things.

Salads


Novotel Brighton Beach - Baygarden Seafood Buffet - - seafood of king prawns, Nambucca oysters and balmain bugs

The seafood section consisted of smoked blue lip mussels, smoken salmon with capers, Nambucca oysters, balmain bugs, king prawns & blue swimmer crabs.

A refreshing salad of rockmelon and mixed seafood.


Novotel Brighton Beach - Baygarden Seafood Buffet - - cold meats and terrine

Selections of cold meats and terrines.


The hot food was slighly disappointing. It was made up of farfelle pasta with blue cheese sauce, grilled chicken thigh with red wine sauce, roast potatoes which were cold and dry, roast pork, char-grilled vegetables and others.

However, who can complain of a free meal? The salad offering and endless flow of fresh seafood was overwhelming... luckily I had come prepared with a larger-fit shirt which hid the extra bulge :-)

Thanks again Roland... and happy birthday Zen.

Wow, What a nice site you got here :)

Thanks Jen for taking me to the buffet to eat, it was very sweet of you :) and thanks to Roland for providing the food! hahaha...

Since you didn't add this in. The seats near the window have wooden floors, and whenever someone gets up to grab food, it makes a squicky sound, like when the Titanic was sinking... or a whale was singing or something...

Novatel, please change the floors :)

The food was pretty nice, I liked the mussels! and all the other seafood stuff!

Happy Birthday to Me! lol
