The best: All You Can Eat buffet restaurants around Manchester

Standing imposingly in the heart of Levenshulme, Merzee (recently the legendary Royal Nawaab) calls on all corners of Southeast Asia to shape their vibrant buffet offering, with a stellar team of chefs that boast over 25 years in the industry.

Manchester’s best-known churrascaria joint, Bem Brasil offers rodizio-style barbecued meats – with limitless side salads and Brazilian stew – for as long as your small circular flashcard lies green side up. Served by a team of roving Passadores, Bem Brasil’s constant supply of traditionally grilled beef, chicken and pork skewers leave every table resembling Kerplunk and every customer deeply satisfied.

For the rodizio experience with added ‘majestic grandeur’, Fazenda elevates authentic gaucho dining with endless meat platters, salads and stews alongside an extensive cocktail menu and a wine list ‘for the most educated of palates’.

Situated just beyond the north-west city limit, laid-back sushi buffet Sakura offers old-school Japanese served in a contemporary style with a ‘high-tech twist’, as guests use tablets to order Nigiri, Inari, Gunkan, Sashimi, Maki, ‘Inside Out’, Temaki, Salad, Veggie, Soup Rice Noodles, Deep Fried Dishes, Teppanyaki and more.

Alongside poké bowls, bento boxes and an a la carte menu, Sushi Mama serves freshly prepared all-you-can-eat sushi, tempura dishes and teppanyaki with a belief that ‘a good mood comes with good food’.

Promising the ‘ultimate BBQ experience’, the enormously popular and unapologetically yellow East-meets-West buffet restaurant offers limitless charcoal-grilled meats, sides and sauces – with seafood included for an extra fiver – every day of the week.

For just £22 per person, Azuma promises the best of Manchester’s ongoing Korean barbecue renaissance, with a steady supply of fresh, raw meats delivered to tables which feature their own hot plates, as well as vegetables, soups and a list of zesty Korean beers.
