This was truly a spectacular breakfast, easily one of the best I have ever had. Its only possible recent rival was another Vietnamese breakfast, that of the Allegro in Hoi An. So, details: there is a la carte, but for me, the attraction was of course the munificent buffet. There…
A very sparse buffet: a couple of warm dishes, white bread for toasting, a little fruit and vegetables. To be fair, there was plenty of food and varied at the other meals on this cruise; and they served a nice brunch a few hours after breakfast. But this is a…
Not a buffet, apart from the fruit, but a reasonable, if unadventurous choice of dishes on the menu, fairly evenly divided between local (i.e., Vietnamese) and Western. The party sampled different dishes and generally agreed that the quality was good. The banana pancakes were rated extra highly. A menu only…
Not a buffet, but an excellent menu with plenty of choice, ranging from the healthy (yoghurt, granola, fresh fruit, avocado) to the somewhat less so (bacon). The party of seven chose widely different dishes, which enabled us to get a good overview. Everything was top quality. Of course, the tea…
I normally prefer breakfast buffets. A non-buffet breakfast therefore has somewhat of a hurdle to overcome in order to get a higher rating. This being said, the breakfast at the Boulderado was very nice indeed. A good choice on the menu, ranging from plain toast or fruit or yoghurt to…
This is a relatively decent, but by no means spectacular breakfast buffet. A nice selection of warm dishes (including an egg bar) and a good choice of fruit. Limited choice of bread, no vegetables, no cold cuts or cheese. The waffles were delicious. And the view is of course spectacular.…
Finally a top class American breakfast again! This was a nice and weii-stocked buffet. Plenty of everything, fresh fruit, cold cuts, cheese, vegetables, cereal and also a very nice and long range of hot dishes. In addition, what we sampled was generally of very high quality. A few minor negative…
My faith in American hotel breakfasts is rapidly being eroded. Here is another buffet, initially seemingly well-stocked and varied. On closer inspection, fairly disappointing. Not much fruit, no vegetables, pretty sparse choice of other stuff. There is an a la carte menu which looks rather better and we ordered from…
Denny’s is a pretty standard 24-hour American diner. The breakfast is perhaps not imaginative; but you know exactly what you get, it’s well prepared — and it costs about a quarter of what your next door hotel would charge you for the same quality. The fresh fruit bowls were very…
On the plus side, a nice choice of bread and a little bit of everything (fruit, vegetables, cereal, warm dishes, pastries et cetera). The scrambled eggs were good, as were the sausages, but the bacon was not crispy. On the minus side, you had to ask for butter and it…
