This was very interesting. On the one hand, there was a set menu. However, the kitchen was extremely flexible, on demand adding items like youghurt with fruit, and porridge, which were not on the menu. The cooked dishes were nice, but ‘English’ only (meaning things I am not that keen…
Another nice Swedish breakfast. The buffet is varied, plenty of different bread, cold cuts, cheese, vegetables. The fresh fruit looks a little tired, notably the oranges. The choice of warm dishes could be slightly better. Tea is bags but also loose-leaf if you want. Good selection of juice. There is…
A small but lovely buffet, with a nice choice of breads, vegetables, cheese and cold cuts. Some fruit and cardamom buns (!); and the buffet is combined with a menu from which you can order hot dishes (lovely scrambled eggs). The tea is loose-leaf. Although overall the choice is perhaps…
Breakfast today at the Hyatt Regency – The Churchill, to see a good friend from the States on one of his increasingly rare trips to London. Seeing him again was a total delight. The breakfast, on the other hand, was a total disaster – by a long way the worst…
By rights, this should have been a spectacular breakfast. It certainly is both huge and varied. I could have had twice as many photos, and they would still not have captured everything. And yet. The bread is uninspiring. While there was cerainly plenty to choose from, the quality of the…
It says a a lot about how disappointed I have become by American hotel breakfasts over the past week, that I was pleasantly surprised today. There were bagels, sliced bread, butter, and the scrambled eggs and grits actually looked appetising. And there was fresh fruit! However, taking a more objective…
I’m not going to waste many words on this. Suffice it to say that it is what I now recognise to be the ‘standard minimum breakfast’ offered by a certain type of American hotels. And even for what it is, a disappointment. 1.5/10
Every time i think ’it can’t get worse’, it does. Today’s breakfast is the most disappointing i have seen since I began this blog. There was sugary cereal, yoghurt, apples and waffles That’s it, no bread, for instance! The tea was Liptons Yellow — again. A month ago I gave…
The standard (i.e., pretty unsatisfactory) breakfast of this trip. However, the scrambled eggs were all right and they had Earl Grey tea (in bags). On the other hand, no butter, just a spreadable vegetable substitute; and no bagels. So, same breakfast, same grade: 3/10.
This rather sparse and unappetising breakfast is advertised as “our delicious complementary deluxe continental breakfast”. A case of false advertising, if ever I saw one. No fruit, no warm dishes, bagels for raisin bagels only, the cereals with loaded with sugar. I could go on but I won’t. 2/10.
