An à la carte buffet, is a dining concept that combines elements of both à la carte and buffet dining. In this type of dining experience, customers are offered a fixed selection of dishes from a menu, and they can choose a set number of items to enjoy. It offers a balance between the variety of a buffet and the personalized ordering of à la carte dining.

Instead of serving themselves at a buffet station, customers order their selected dishes from the à la carte buffet menu whilst comfortably seated at at their table. A traditional ala carte buffet restaurant will require a higher number of order takers (compared to a traditional casual dining restaurant) as there is a higher number of repeat orders.
