it is difficult to know how to rate the breakfast. Let me explain. This is an amazing hotel (five rooms in total in the former home of an antique loving pharmacist. It also houses a museum. Given its size, the breakfast is by necessity small, but it is a buffet.…
In a previous post I noted that the paradors tend to be similar, as are, therefore, their breakfasts. That being said, today’s breakfast was somewhat more disappointing than the others encountered on this trip. The bread continued to be unattractive, clearly not freshly baked. As previously, no vegetables for breakfast.…
The paradors all have fairly standardised menus and arrangements. These are of decent, I would say high quality. That being said, there are a few points to make. Once again, surprisingly, the orange juice is not freshly squeezed despite this being a large orange-growing country. There are machines for coffee,…
There is an interesting feature at this breakfast. There are no implements for taking any of the food at the buffet. Instead, you get wooden tongs on your table, and have to remember to bring them each time you go to get food. We wondered if this was a remnant…
There is good and there is bad. This is a small airport hotel. The buffet has a decent choice, with some warm dishes. Unfortunately, the quality is rather uneven. The bread is nice. But the cold cuts and the cheese are fairly tasteless. The tortilla was unimpressive, although the small…
The environment: Surprisingly comfortable oasis – luxurious and elegant – in a nice part of Stockholm. Comfortable chairs and conducive to conversation. Staff: Friendly greeting on arrival. Later somewhat difficult to order. Correct, but weak knowledge about the menu and its contents. The food: Nicely presented in, as already noted, a…
Strangely, I don’t think I have ever reviewed the BA BusinessClass breakfast. As with my recent review on First Class, I am fully aware of the problems of cooking in the air. I will therefore restrict myself to saying that the fruit platter was very nice, as was the granola.…
Given how much I you usually tout the virtues of the Middle Eastern breakfast, this was a bit of a disappointment. It’s a medium-sized buffet, with a decent selection of warm and cold dishes, as well as an egg bar. On the plus side they have shakshouka but it wasn’t…
I do not often fly First Class. (In fact, with regards to British Airways, I don’t think I ever will again. But that is not because of the breakfast.) However, for various reasons I did so on this very short trip, and since it is eight years ago since I…
I was rather disappointed by this breakfast. Partly, this is because I am spoiled by the general excellence of Swedish and indeed Nordic hotel breakfasts. (The average rating for Swedish hotel breakfasts on this blog is 6.6, compared with global average of 5.7.) This one was merely all right. A…
