Strangely, the restaurant menu in this hotel is heavily Nordic-influenced, with dishes from Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland. Apparently, the original owners were Swedish. On the negative side, service was exceedingly slow; and when we asked for milk with our tea, we were given a little flask of frothy warm…
My faith in the great American breakfast is gradually being restored. Admittedly, still not a buffet. However, a varied and quite substantial menu. The scarmbled eggs and bacon were very nice and the fruit was excellent. However, members of the party felt that the oatmeal was better at the Atticus…
Strangely, the restaurant in this hotel in the far northwest of the United States is Mediterranean, or more specifically Middle Eastern-themed. In addition, there is no buffet, just a menu. This means that you will not be able to have any of the “normal Western“ breakfast, e.g., toast. That being…
Loose-leaf tea. A samovar. A very funny sign about coffee. (Top left picture.) This started well and continued better. An excellent buffet, which, once again shows how you can combine what seems fairly limited in size with a very wide choice. So, plenty of vegetables, different types of cheeses, lots…
There is a waffle iron so that you can prepare your own waffles, something very much appreciated. Good choice of vegetables and sandwich spreads, although the pre-sliced cheese is standard. I find herring at the breakfast table strange, but apparently there are many who like it. The bacon looked crispy,…
An excellent buffet. Good choice of bread, vegetables and fruit. Also a nice sample of different cheeses, again, both white and yellow. Very nice scrambled eggs and tasty Polish sausages. Also plenty of condiments and cereal. On the negative side, one of the coffee machines was faulty, and, more seriously,…
Very good choice. Salmon, herring, meatballs and potatoes in the buffet. Taste-wise, nothing to write home about, certainly not the scrambled eggs, which tasted as if they were made with powdered eggs (highly likely!). The juice is standard factory made and so watered it looked like a fresh urine sample.…
A very nice spread. Plenty of cheese, hard as well as soft, and also different egg concoctions. Lots of vegetables and good choice of fresh fruit, cut and uncut. Decent bread choice, cereals and fish. The orange juice was concentrate, but the red grapefruit was fresh. Tea was bags only,…
Very boring dining room, the same as the hotel reception. Extra point for buns/biscuits to accompany the coffee and for a piece of brie complementing the usual boring pre-sliced cheese. Major minus for the scrambled eggs, which were more of a chopped-up omelette than a proper scramble. The bread was…
Excellent scrambled eggs and I am sure that the locally produced ham is very tasty for those who eat meat/pork. Good juice, and good home-baked bread. The rest of the breakfast was mediocre, with two kinds of bland cheese and almost nonexistent choice for vegans. It may have been possible…
