I am in somewhat of a quandary. On the one hand, this is a nice medium-sized buffet. There is a tiny egg bar, there is an ample choice of cold cuts and vegetables and cheese and there are waffles with cloudberry jam! On the other hand, the tea is bags…
This is the first time I am doing a repeat rating. In the past, I have simply not bothered. However, the breakfast at this hotel, which was already extremely good should now probably be rated excellent. Once again, a small buffet, which I would almost call a “pocket buffet”. That…
This is a small and fairly unassuming buffet. A mixture of western and local food. Tea is of course bags only, but the croissants, while slightly doughy, surprisingly good. Nice selection of fruit and salad. The local dishes are tasty. I would not say that this is a breakfast I…
This is, of course, not a buffet. , it is an exceedingly nice place for breakfast, provided, that is, that you are prepared to wait in line. There is usually a queue. As it happens, today, it was not bad. As the name suggests, they specialise in bread of different…
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…
