Strictly speaking not a travel breakfast, as I only ‘travelled’ from home to High Street Kensington, a distance of about 3 kilometers. But it was a breakfast away from home, so I’ll review it. (Incidentally, this is a chain.) On the one hand, nothing special – sandwiches etc already prepared,…
I am not generally a big fan of Italian breakfasts, they tend to focus on sweet pastries and cakes. So with a little trepidation, I came to breakfast and was pleased to see some chopped tomatoes seasoned in olive oil and oregano, hard boiled eggs, yellow cheese, buffalo mozzarella and…
Another example of what you can do with a limited space in a small hotel and yet come out on top. The Little Queen Pantheon is a tiny bed and breakfast in Rome. it has only got six rooms. (It is also lovely and very centrally situated.) Breakfast consists of…
A small buffet with a reasonable choice of cold and warm dishes, western and eastern. Nothing special, but also nothing wrong, except that I think the butter was old. And for that reason, 3.5/10.
This is a small ’hole in the wall’ — but I did have breakfast there. So, here goes. A choice of banh mi (Vietnamese filled baguettes), coffe and (very limited) tea. The banh mi was very nice, the tea was far too sweet and also with ice (put that down…
Another hotel without a buffet. However, the menu was nicely varied, with a good choice of warm and cold dishes, including vegetarian/vegan options. The egg dishes were perfectly done (and the bacon was very crispy); the croissants were nice and flakey; and the avocado on toast was excellent and the…
I have experienced quite a few disappointments when it comes to US hotel breakfasts outside big cities. However, this was a pleasant surprise. The Sunrise Café where they serve the “normal” breakfast does not have a buffet. Again, a small but nicely varied menu and the food was good. We…
This is, of course a private members club. Nevertheless, I firmly believe in rating all breakfasts, weather accessible to everyone or not. the Harvard does not to have a buffet, and the menu is relatively limited. Nevertheless, what they offer is very nicely prepared and delicious, and there is a…
A luxury breakfast with very polite service as it should be in the biggest hotel in the country. I prefer a light breakfast with plenty of fruit and beans. There were various kinds of meat: lamb, steak, bacon and chicken korma, most of which is produced locally because they have…
Went for breakfast with (as the great Chinese detective Charlie Chan would have said) with “honourable daughter number two” before her journey back to the Antipodes. The setting is lovely, tucked away in a small Galilean village with Mt Tavor looming in the background and the place is done up in…
