Thyme² at Sofitel Brisbane Central

Tonight, we came for a Xmas catch up with family and we had a corner room almost to ourselves. There were 13 adults and 9 kids, it was 3 tables.<br/ <br/ It was nice having like a dinner room just with the fam.<br/ <br/ The assortment was good, more seafood and it was topped up regularly. The hot food items were lacking a little, not much variety. Staff were friendly and we were attended to regularly..<br/ <br/ In saying so, we enjoyed the night out, food was good. Nice to catch up with the whole family with no cleaning up.

Phuong Tran and I are here for a Buffet Dinner with friends and arriving at 6.30pm we are promptly shown to our table. We walk around the separate buffet stations, cold seafood, cold meats salads, hot dishes vegetables and desserts. Presentation wise, it all looks appetisingly perfect! <br/ <br/ Oysters are very fresh and I have 50! The Prawns are 80% fresh which is regarded as good for a buffet and I have 15 of these medium King Prawns. <br/ <br/ Cold Meats are plentiful and are complemented with Cold Salads and Sushi Rolls. It all tastes so fresh and I enjoy the 8 items on my plate. <br/ <br/ Hot Meat Dishes are Baked Fish, Lamb Makhani and Chicken Tikka with Roasted and Steamed Vegetables. The Fish was ordinary but the Lamb was tender, rich and flavoursome. Vegetables were all perfectly done. A tad disappointing not having at least one roast meat! <br/ <br/ Dessert offerings were the highlight of our meal. I did not try the Chocolate Fountain but I did have 3 Cakes, 2 Pastries and a Crème Caramel. Phuong Tran had 2 fruit Panna Cottas. We love the desserts!<br/ <br/ Overall a very enjoyable Buffet Dinner at this beautiful restaurant with thefork’s 30% discount. Service is friendly and helpful and we will return in a few months to update this review. Thank you Thyme2!

We had the buffet breakfast two days in a row. Great service with the lactose free hot chocolate. Variety in the dishes. The omelets look good but didn’t try. Liked the fresh fruit salad juice bar. Cold meats and fish were healthy options rather than fried foods. Scrambled eggs looks positive for cream so had a small helping. Gluten free options were readily available and tasty. Warm pastries also abounded. Would come back with the family.

Went here midweek for the seafood buffet. There wasn't much variety in seafood, prawns, mussels and oysters. We had gone to prive 249 a couple of weeks before for dinner and walked past the buffet and noticed crabs and bugs and fish, which prompted us to try it out for dinner. It was ok, probably needed more variety midweek.

Buffe was good as usual, not much to chose from, but what they had was pretty good. The deserts are 70% just chocolate based, so after the second bite u cant take anymore, but the options without chocolate are great!!
