This one was a bit of a conundrum. The first impression is of a very nice, very varied buffet. There is a Chinese section, as well as a large Western selection. Different kinds of bread, pastries, lots of vegetables, a few cold cuts and some fruit. Also a hot dishes…
A lovely breakfast and easily the best on this trip so far. Again, small, but packed with goodies. Fruit, vegetables, cold cuts, hot dishes. Four kinds of bread, yoghurt, jams and honey, cereal. The nicer for being unexpected. On the extra plus side, glasses and slices of lemon for the…
As with the train, so with this. This is after all a ger camp. It was never going to be “amazing buffet breakfast”. There is no real choice, you are given what there is. The bread is white only, but this is not a bread culture. The Mongolian biscuits (boortsog)…
We were taken here directly from the train to have breakfast and move on. A very small and sparse breakfast, but very welcome and what there was, was nice enough. Still, not more than 3/10.
A very pleasant surprise. Breakfast is served from 3 a.m., so I expected something very perfunctory. Instead, there is a very adequate buffet, again nicely balanced between meat, salads, vegetables, cheese and fruit. The warm offerings were perhaps not that appetising but nothing wrong per se. The bread is disappointing,…
A different, but not uninteresting concept. There are three breakfast menus to choose from. Each includes bread, jam and honey, pancakes with sour cream, tea or coffee, juice or yoghurt. The only difference is scrambled eggs, fried eggs or sausages. Within the limitations that this imposes on the guest, if…
I’m in a bit of a quandary. It is unfair to compare this with hotels or even restaurants. The best comparison is other trains. But I don’t have any of those to compare with. So, bearing that in mind, I’d say, sparse, limited choice, but nicely presented and not bad.…
When I looked at the small breakfast area at check-in, I must confess that I was rather apprehensive. Well, I am pleased to say that this was a mistake. Small, yes. But nicely varied, with a little bit of everything – fruit, vegetables, cheese, cold cuts, warm dishes, breads…
A mid-size buffet, geared heavily towards Chinese guests, meaning a lot of warm dishes. The bread was unimaginative to say the least. Good choice of sweet stuff. Only one type of teabag (forget loose-leaf!). On the positive side, plenty cheese and vegetables. Still, 4/10 is very generous of me and…
You get what you pay for. In this case, a small 2-star hotel near the Lille Eurostar station. Breakfast was a tray with everything pre-loaded. The croissant was a bit soggy, the baguette was fresh (I should think so too!) Still, 3/5.
