The best buffet ever. Plus the lady who assisted us that day was the best by far all the restaurant we tried in the city. We booked 12:15 20/3/24 to celebrate my son’s graduation day. She smiled in the photo I posted here. Im sorry I wasn’t able to ask her name, she’s the best. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟she offered all the drink compliments! The place is great, the food were awesome… easy to book online… we’ll be going back again… Highly recommend. Price appropriate to the food and service you’ll get! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

This place offers a luxurious dining experience with a city view. They have an amazing spread for the buffet with an elegant interior and sophisticated ambiance to make your special day extra special.
The fruits and salads were fresh and mouthwatering. The main course was good but I wish they had more vegetarian options for the price. Though indulging in the trail of scrumptious desserts did make up for it.

I went here for breakfast this morning.
It was exceptional.
The amount of food on offer was outstanding.
The staff were very friendly and helpful.
It was clean and tidy.
I do suggest going early as we did. Because around 9.45am it wasn't quiet anymore. There was a large amount of people to navigate around to get food.
It's a nice view over the river too.
I had a great time, didn't go away hungry.
I truly recommend eating here, you won't regret it.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at the buffet and I have to say, it was an excellent experience. The standout for me were the oysters, which were incredibly fresh and delicious. The dessert selection was also impressive, with a wide variety of options to choose from. The staff were friendly and attentive, making the entire experience all the more enjoyable. Overall, I highly recommend this buffet to anyone looking for a great dining experience.

We had Christmas lunch at the Conservatory and it was perfectly magical. A very elegant place located in the 1st floor of the Crown hotel with a wonderful view over the Yara River. The staff were absolutely incredible making sure all the guests were pleased. The buffet had a large food selection, everything was nicely displayed and tasty. The seafood part was impressive. We enjoyed our time among family and friends.

Extremely disappointing!
My partner and I paid $175 for a Christmas Day breakfast. Unfortunately, our experience fell well below our expectations. The pastries were absolutely terrible; even 7-Eleven offers better ones. We noticed a large piece of ham, but there was no one available to carve it. I observed this happening every 15 minutes, with a small piece being cut for just one guest before the server disappeared. Many plates remained empty, with numerous food trays left completely bare.
The waffle was of extremely low quality, and it felt like it came from a supermarket shelf.
In the end, I only managed to eat one egg, one low-quality sausage, three mushrooms, and one awful pastry.
On a positive note, the view was amazing, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. The location was also convenient. However, the quality of the food left much to be desired. It was, unfortunately, the worst buffet experience we've had.

Visit 1 -Conservatory Buffet at Crown Melbourne exceeded expectations! The ambience was amazing, setting the perfect tone for a memorable dining experience. The service, led by the attentive waiter Rahul, was exceptional. He went above and beyond to accommodate our egg and seafood allergies, organizing a guided tour with the chef to ensure a safe and delightful meal. Special kudos for the personalized dessert platter and the delicious custom-made fried rice. A fantastic culinary journey made possible by great service and a variety of allergy-conscious options!

Visit 2- just visited for the second time and this time tried all seafood and other meat options..loved it!!!!

Visit 3 - Sunday Breakfast - dropped the rating from overall 5 to 4.

I recently visited Conservatory Buffet for their Sunday breakfast after having great experiences with their dinner buffets on two occasions. However, I was highly disappointed with the spread. Despite the $55 price tag plus 10% service charge, the food was just ordinary, lacking any special touches. Additionally, the one-hour seating time felt rushed. To make matters worse, three of my family members experienced severe indigestion after the meal. Overall, I wouldn't recommend the breakfast at Conservatory Buffet based on my personal experience.

A really lovely and enjoyable experience. We went to the Observatory at Crown for dinner with a group of friends. It can be challenging to locate in the complex as it is not well signed however if you locate the fountains, take the escalator past these upstairs.
We enjoyed the buffet and an array of cuisines on offer. There was a valuable drinks packages on offer as well that well serviced by Tim (our waiter), who was attentive and humorous. Worth the experience and the cost in my opinion.
