A very small buffet, mainly Chinese but some concessions to Western food as well. The Chinese steamed buns and noodles were decent, the croissants were bad. Very basic and we decided to give it a miss on the second day. 3/10.
A, small but well-stocked and surprisingly varied buffet. It shows that I have been in Vietnam for some time, when the first thing I go for is the pho. Very nice it was too. Otherwise, not much to say. The croissants are uninspiring, but in general, while not amazing, the…
I am going to have to change my starting point. I used to think that the three best hotel breakfasts in the world were the North American (when properly done, something sadly not as frequent anymore); the Nordic; and the Israeli/Middle Eastern. It is clear that I now have to…
This restaurant is on the 62nd floor, so you can work up an appetite in the lift up. As befits a top-class hotel, certainly one in this part of the world (East/Southeast Asia), a substantial multinational buffet. A very nice egg bar. A good improvement was that you could fill…
A pretty basic breakfast (but I’m not complaining; at least there is a breakfast. For my first night in Hanoi, my university mistakenly put me up in a ‘love hotel’, where rooms rent by the hour and have very interesting furniture; and there was no breakfast). That being said, the…
I have rated this breakfast before. But that was during the pandemic, when the offering was limited, and it deserves an update. So, a small but quite nice buffet. No vegetables, but a choice of cold cuts, cheese, yoghurt and fruit. Very nice croissants. In addition, there is a menu…
An excellent delicatessen, about 10 minutes walk from Princes Street. True, they did not have a buffet. On the other hand, the tea was loose leaf. The different options on the menu (and we tried four or five) were all delicious, and nicely presented. The menu was not very long,…
Another example of the excellent Nordic hotel breakfast, but this time with a twist. As usual, a nice buffet with lots of choice, hot and cold. Plenty of cheese, cold cuts, condiments, vegetables and fruit. Tea was bags as well as loose leaf. Among the hot dishes, there were not…
Once again, a menu to choose from, but no buffet. The menu is, however, quite substantial and varied. Moreover, as in any good restaurant, they are willing to adjust according to your tastes or needs, or dietary requirements. The smoked salmon bagel was good , as was the Greek yoghurt…
Yet another menu only breakfast, fairly heavy on the egg dishes. Not much to say about it. The food was competently prepared, but by no means spectacular. I would rate this 5/10.
