Buffet style is a dining arrangement where a variety of dishes are laid out on a table or counter, allowing guests to serve themselves. This format encourages social interaction and offers flexibility, as diners can choose what they want to eat and how much. Buffets are commonly found in restaurants, catering events, and at gatherings like weddings or parties. In a buffet, food is typically organized into categories, such as appetizers, main courses, and desserts. Guests can move through the line at their own pace, making it a convenient option for large groups. Popular buffet styles include all-you-can-eat and continental breakfast setups.
