Explanation:
Going by the dictionary definition of "фуршет":

ФУРШЕТ, -а; м. [от франц. à la fourchette - на скорую руку]. Праздничный ужин без горячих блюд, завершающий какое=л. официальное мероприятие; аляфуршет. Выставка завершилась фуршетом. (http://gramota.ru/)

A "cold buffet" is just what it says it is: A cold buffet can consist of foods and drinks anywhere from fruits, sandwiches,soda, salads, etc. Anything that isn't a heated food. )http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_cold_buffet#ixzz1vLo7jNbe)

neutral  Alexander Kondorsky: Не буду отрицать, что, наверное, в 70% случаев фуршет холодный, но я лично присутствовал на нескольких деловых фуршетах, на которых подавали горячее на сервировочных столиках, поэтому думаю не стоит здесь подчеркивать, что это cold buffet.

  -> I bow to your superior knowledge of Russian restaurants, but my impression it isn't about restaurants but about feeding a businss gathering of some sort. BTW, I also searched Google images and saw a lot of cold dishes arranged on tables buffet style..

neutral  Michael Korovkin: FYI, "à la fourchette" - не “на скорую руку“, а “на вилочку“.May last longer than a sit-down dinner. Buffet dinners may be either hot or cold, or both – no matter whom you feed and where. "Cold", here, is a liberty absolutely unwarranted by the context.
