The best buffet restaurants in Brighton

At Bali Brasserie, a glamorously kitschy Asian spot where it's not unusual for Elvis Presley or Tom Jones to serenade you as you dine, you can order the rijstaffel on certain days. It's a famous Indonesian rice table, featuring four courses of traditional Indonesian cuisine, with the highlight being the main course hot buffet with nine different dishes. A vegetarian and pescatarian version of the rijstaffel is available as well.

Daiu's claim to fame is that it's the first and only BBQ and hotpot buffet restaurant chain in the UK, with branches across the country, including Brighton. Diners can pay a set price to indulge in 90 minutes of unlimited meat, seafood, and vegetables, which they can choose from the counter and grill or cook at their table, just the way they like it.

The Fogo de Chão Brazilian steakhouses can be found around the world, offering an authentic rodizio experience. Succulent meats are paraded past your table, letting you pick and choose whichever you like until you've had your fill. Considering there's an all-you-can-eat buffet of salads, stews, and other sides as well, the most difficult part here might just be balancing one with the other.

Unlimited pizza is the dream, and Casa Della Pizza delivers not only on the front – there's a pasta and salad buffet to go with the all-you-can-eat pizza as well, and it's all affordable to boot. The Brighton buffet restaurant also offers a regular menu with different pizzas, pastas, burgers, and a few other dishes, all served in a sleek yet easy-going setting. Children are welcome as well.

If you're crazy about sushi, you'll love Sushimania. This UK restaurant group offers a fixed-price sushi buffet, letting diners indulge in a vast and unlimited assortment of sushi and other typical Japanese dishes like tempura or soft-shell crab. If you're not that hungry, you can also order off the à la carte menu. The all-you-can-eat sushi offer is available for tables of two or more.

Over in Hove, Danny's Restaurant offers an affordable Chinese buffet with classic Cantonese dishes like crispy duck, stir-frys, curries, and more. You can watch the chefs at work in the open kitchen as you dine, and the vibe is casual enough for quick dinners and big group get-togethers alike. Plant-based diners are taken care of as well, and the restaurant sees a steady flow of locals most days.
