Usage notes

[edit]
  • This word refers more to a place than to a method of serving food, in contrast with the English word buffet. Hence it takes the preposition в (v, in, at; to) when answering the questions где? (= в буфе́те) and куда? (= в буфе́т). In Russian, the method of serving food is referred to as шведский стол (švedskij stol, smorgasbord, literally Swedish table).
