A mixed bag. The two main negatives are no warm dishes (except a basket of hard boiled eggs) and very weak in terms of fruit. The latter is the more surprising since the hotel proudly talks about the “many organic and fair trade products” they offer at breakfast. On the…
There is good and there is bad. This is a small airport hotel. The buffet has a decent choice, with some warm dishes. Unfortunately, the quality is rather uneven. The bread is nice. But the cold cuts and the cheese are fairly tasteless. The tortilla was unimpressive, although the small…
The environment: Surprisingly comfortable oasis – luxurious and elegant – in a nice part of Stockholm. Comfortable chairs and conducive to conversation. Staff: Friendly greeting on arrival. Later somewhat difficult to order. Correct, but weak knowledge about the menu and its contents. The food: Nicely presented in, as already noted, a…
I was rather disappointed by this breakfast. Partly, this is because I am spoiled by the general excellence of Swedish and indeed Nordic hotel breakfasts. (The average rating for Swedish hotel breakfasts on this blog is 6.6, compared with global average of 5.7.) This one was merely all right. A…
Unbelievably charming och personal, with an incredibly good, varied and delicious breakfast. I have breakfasted in many places in the world, and this one is one of my top 3 – ever! (The other two are in Sun City in South Africa, and in Singapore.) Excellent variation, with pleasant and…
A fairly basic buffet, heavier on the Chinese side than on the western. Plenty of warm dishes, not so much on the cold side, which was mainly a small cheese selection and some vegetables. No cold cuts, no cold fish, limited fruit selection. The scrambled eggs were decent. The bread…
In my introduction to this Travel Breakfast Blog, I write that one of the best hotel breakfasts I have had the pleasure of trying, was at the Island Shangri-La in Hong Kong. Although I have been back to Hong Kong a number of times, I had not revisited this breakfast…
I have to declare an interest. I am a part owner of this homestay just north of Dien Bien Phu, site of the spectacular defeat inflicted on the French in the spring of 1954 by the Viet Minh, commanded by general Vo Nguyen Giap, one of the great military geniuses…
Quite an extensive buffet, since I needed eleven(!) pictures to capture it. And a view of Hanoi’s Tay Ho (West Lake) to die for. And yet… On the positive side, excellent choice or Western and Asian, primarily but not exclusively Korean cuisine. The croissants were very nice, as was the…
This one was a difficult judgement. A very varied spread, although as is generally the case in Europe, no concession to non-western breakfast styles. I was particularly impressed by the Healthy Corner (the pickled Camembert was nice), and there were also gluten-free dishes on offer. My pictures don’t cover everything,…
