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,…
To paraphrase Winston Churchill (about Clement Attlee): this is a very unassuming breakfast. Indeed, it has a lot to be unassuming about. Basically a menu, supplemented by a choice of toast and croissants, with jam. The scrambled eggs were disappointing in spite of being freshly made; and the ’crispy’ bacon…
The Strand is a really nice hotel with a good breakfast buffet. I would particularly like to mention the perfect scrambled eggs and the excellent chia puddings, with different fruits compotes and jams. The bread was baked at some local bakery, both fresh and delicious. I didn’t have space for…
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,…
By rights, this should have been a spectacular breakfast. It certainly is both huge and varied. I could have had twice as many photos, and they would still not have captured everything. And yet. The bread is uninspiring. While there was cerainly plenty to choose from, the quality of the…
I am normally very partial to the American hotel breakfast. At the same time, I am aware of the fact that many hotels are scaling back in both scope and ambition. Nevertheless, this one was rather disappointing. Very limited choice, essentially cereal, disappointing bread (and bagels admittedly) as well as…
All Swedish breakfasts are not good. But the good ones are excellent! This is one of those. Another rich spread of warm food (the bacon is crispy!; and if you don’t eat pork, there are chicken sausages as well), cold (including smoked salmon, herring and a very nice fennel-spiced salami),…
