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…
A small, but excellent and really varied buffet. Very strong on the cold dishes: good choice of vegetables and salads, egg-mayo, and tuna-mayo spreads, also French toast, honey from both bees and dates, and a nice selection of fresh fruit, including fruit salad. The bread was excellent. Only one warm…
I have never seen a non-buffet breakfast that is so buffet-like as this one. If you order the Kafit breakfast from the menu, you get what in essence of amounts to a mini-buffet. And there are different variants to order from as well. Everything fresh and freshly prepared, and very…
This is a difficult one. On the one hand, it is a very nice buffet. Good choice of bread, salads and vegetables, cold cuts (including meatballs) and cheeses. No fish, but we are relatively far from the sea. A smaller, but still decent choice of warm dishes. Also a reasonable…
Silja Serenade is a cruise ship mainly trafficing Stockholm-Helsinki via Mariehamn. The ship can host 2500 passengers. One might expect a breakfast restaurant on such a place to be very noisy. We had paid a little bit more in order to book seats at a smaller restaurant named Tavolàta. While not…
A very nice breakfast buffet, with plenty of choice. Excellent spread of cold and warm dishes (the scrambled eggs were particularly nice and the choice of cold cuts was extremely good), lots of fruit and vegetables as well. Good choice of breads as well. The tea was bags only (of…
This a reasonable breakfast. There is a modest continental buffet featuring pastries, bread for toasting, some cereal and fruit. No cold cuts, no cheese, no vegetables, no fresh fruit, but there is fruit salad and a berry compote for your yoghurt. There is also a menu from which you can…
I don’t normally upload as many pictures as this, but it was difficult to capture the entirety of the breakfast. After the breakfast at their sister hotel in Stykkishólmur, I was apprehensive that this would would somehow disappoint. It did not. Again, an excellent choice of bread, cold dishes, warm…
Another example showing the quality of Nordic hotel breakfasts. This is what I would call a medium-size buffet. Very nice choice of bread, including freshly baked and nice croissants and Danish pastry. A good selection of warm dishes. The scrambled eggs could have been warmer, but were well prepared, the…
A very nice and surprisingly varied buffet. Good choice of warm dishes, both local and Western, and an egg/Pho bar (no stale fried or scrambled eggs here!). Also a good selection of fruit and vegetables, as well as jams and a variety of breads. On the slightly negative side, only…
