Buffet restaurants are widely popular because they allow customers to try lots of tasty dishes at a fixed cost. The modern buffet has its roots in a traditional Swedish practice where appetizers—such as bread, butter, and cheese—and drinks were served before the main meal. Over time, this pre-dinner snack evolved into a full meal that consisted of cold and warm dishes. Eventually, it spread beyond Sweden and became popular across Europe.
自助餐廳因允許顧客以固定的價格嘗試許多美味的菜餚而廣受歡迎。現代的自助餐起源於瑞典的一項傳統習俗，其中如麵包、奶油和起司等開胃小菜和飲品會在主餐之前供應。隨著時間的推移，這種晚餐前的小點心演變成一頓包含冷盤熱菜的完整餐點。最終，它不僅僅在瑞典，在歐洲各地也都蔚為風潮。
