It's back -- it's finally back! For years the iconic Hotel Vancouver has been offering one of the most spectacular buffets in the city called the Griffins Buffet... Then suddenly in 2013, they stopped....
'Times, they are a changin', 'out with the old', and 'all good things come to an end'; that was the end to one of the best seafood and dessert buffets in the city. But in the words of the great philosopher Dylan: Yesterday's just a memory, tomorrow is never what it's supposed to be. In fact, tomorrow is better!
Enter Notch 8. The new eatery at the Hotel Vancouver that brought back the iconic buffet in a grander more elegant form. The weekend brunch at Notch 8 truly is an event to be experienced. From the sparkling wine that first greets you, to the endless gourmet creations you get to savor, this experience truly is a notch above the rest.
While one may be accustomed to well prepared, high quality offerings from this eatery, one will still find that surprises are bountiful: stupendous egg creations where seafood and perfectly runny yolks are theme, 18 hr slow roasted fatty (the good kind of fat) prime rib, and caviar -- yes, caviar!
This dining experience is certainly worthwhile even at the $60 price point. The wonderful surprises (remember the caviar?) and the sparkling wine/Caesars/etc more than justifies the cost.
Pros:
Amazing atmosphere
Gourmet selections of pacific coast cuisine
Custom creations and premium items
Mimosa, Caesars and Sparkling wine
Cons:
Good dessert offerings, but many items were not replenished (perhaps just an off day)
Servers somewhat reminiscent of Basil Fawlty (again, perhaps just an off day)
Whether you are a local or a visitor, this is certainly one buffet experience not to be missed.

Happy Dining!
