I noted in my previous blog that New York hotels nowadays are less likely to offer breakfast. The Chambers on 15 West 56th Street, does and so I thought I’d try that since we are staying with them. A very nice shakshuka with a mixed chorizo-tomato sauce and decent granola.…
New York is a problem when it comes to breakfast. Hotels don’t usually offer it anymore (a rule with lots of exceptions, of course). But, on the other hand, there are so many places to go for a nice breakfast that it doesn’t matter as much as it might elsewhere.…
Not quite sure what I would have expected here, but I was more than pleasantly surprised. A very nice spread, including cold cuts, fish, cheese, vegetables, various kind of nuts and dried fruit for your cereal and a good variety of bread. A poster with an apology for…
I am not quite sure what to say about this breakfast. We had an excellent dinner here the preceding evening. I therefore had quite high expectations. However, I must say that I was a bit disappointed. The bread choice is poor (although what there is, is very nice), as is…
OK, strictly speaking I didn’t have breakfast there, just a quick sandwich. But I still want to mention it, as it is the second quite nice airport lounge I’ve seen in Vietnam. Again, a nice spread, mixing local and western food, not perhaps a very big buffet, but I’ve…
Easily the best breakfast I’ve reviewed so far. Excellent choice on all levels – bread (freshly baked, crusty and fully justifying Vietnam’s reputation of having ‘the best baguettes east of France’), fruit, cereals, warm and cold food, Western and different kinds of Asian food. Everything of the highest quality. I…
Surprisingly nice for an airport lounge. A pleasant spread, good choice and also a very comfortable lounge. 4/10.
A very nice and large buffet, with an appetising blend of Western and Eastern food, cooked and fresh. An excellent egg station adds to the enjoyment. Bread choice could have been slightly better and the inclusion of a foil-wrapped cheese on the cheese board (there was other cheese too) detracts…
Not the most extensive breakfast I’ve ever had. But what there was, was nice, and nothing wrong with it. Bearing in mind that the hotel cost $25, I’m still minded to give it 2.5/10.
A very pleasantly presented breakfast, albeit with relatively limited choice in each category (that could be because I had breakfast after 10 am – jetlag). Nothing wrong but nothing spectacular either. However, the fact that the milk was UHT brings the overall rating down to 4.5/10.
