Sonntagsbraten

Explanation:
New Oxford Dictionary:

carvery noun (pl. -ies) chiefly Brit. a buffet or restaurant where cooked joints are displayed and carved as required in front of customers.

In Langenscheidt steht zwar "Lokal, in dem man für einen Einheitspreis soviel Fleisch essen kann, wie man will" - aber das stimmt nicht unbedingt.

Hier geht's nicht unbedingt um die genaue Speisenauswahl sondern (auch) um die gemütliche/traditionelle Ambiente.

Ich bin dann bei Sonntagsmenü geblieben, da das Fleisch sicherlich nicht die Hauptrolle spielt. Dein Nachsatz hat also den Ausschlag gegeben. Danke an alle!

Sonntagsessen

Explanation:
Sonntagsessen für Fleischliebhaber
Ich kenne den übrigen Text nicht - daher bin ich vorsichtig. Ich vermute, dass eine Art Buffet gemeint ist, an dem man die Wahl zwischen verschiedene Arten von Fleisch (gebraten, gegrillt, etc.) mit Beilagen hat.
