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),…
The breakfast here is an interesting concept. It is a buffet (good marks!). But it is an “assisted buffet“. This means that you choose what you want, but it is handed to you on the plate by the staff. A good way of dealing with the vagaries of not just…
Radisson Blu Scandinavia in the centre of Oslo is an ultra modern skyscraper with 21 floors. The breakfast restaurant has seats for 350 guests. Breakfast buffets can be excessively lavish. If you look for options for carbo-loading or bright colorful fruits this is not what you get. Here the concept…
I was told that this was an attempt to show that you can have good food in airport lounges. That is indeed laudable (although some already do, eg Cathay Pacific at Chek Lap Kok, or One World Alliance at Changi; and even BA at Heathrow). In any cases, laudable aim…
Once again, a non-hotel breakfast. However, this was not only recommended, but also next door to where I lived from 1977 to 1980, and again from 1982 to 1988. So I obviously had to try it out. The pastries (which we didn’t have!) certainly looked amazing. The scrambled eggs were…
This is more like it! A breakfast buffet like in the good old days. There is everything (I think), including the ingredients to mix your own Virgin Mary. I didn’t see any vodka for making it a Bloody Mary, but, admittedly, I wasn’t looking for it. Excellent spread of different…
Not a hotel breakfast, admittedly, but it doesn’t always have to be. This place was advertised as one of the better for breakfast in Stockholm. Very pleasant, but I wouldn’t go as far as “one of the best”. It is primarily a bakery. The bread was very nice and the…
There’s something for every taste. Five kinds of sliced meat , several choices of cheese, three different homemade jams and marmalades. Plantbased and milkbased milk and yoghurt. You can make your own American waffles. Everything is lactose free. There are several kinds of tasty bread, but the croissant was not…
I have to make a confession. This is not strictly a travel breakfast entry, since it was only about 15 minutes by bicycle from my home. But I still want to review it. The Samad al-Iraqi is an Iraqi restaurant in London that also offers breakfast. An amazing spread of…
The good news is that this breakfast was partly a buffet, which is much preferable to having to order from a menu. That being said, the buffet part was limited: a few pastries, fruit salad and some jams and honey. No fresh fruit, no cheese (admittedly one in our party…
