No buffet, in fact not even a restaurant. Instead you order online and it gets delivered to your room. Drawbacks (apart from no buffet)? Well, the tea is of course bags only. But apart from that, not much, really. There is a set menu to choose from, but you can…
I have reviewed the Boston Harvard Club in the past. At that stage, I gave it 5.5/10. However, that was almost three years ago and today’s breakfast was quite a bit improved. Again, of course, no buffet; and the tea is bags only. But all the various options for our…
Growing up, breakfast was clearly the third meal in the Seltzer household. Most days it was cereal. Sometimes instant oatmeal. Occasionally on a weekend there was a cooked breakfast. At college there was cooked breakfast available every day, but it was college food – lots of grease and calories, rarely…
When I received an invitation to attend the Nobel prize ceremony in Stockholm, I believed this to be the honor of a lifetime. However, it turns out I was mistaken, as shortly thereafter Gabriel invited me to contribute a review to his breakfast blog. As part of my trip to…
Strangely, I have never noticed this hotel although it has been around in the very centre of Stockholm for at least eight years. Today, we decided to sample the breakfast. First, a general observation: spending time in Southeast Asia over the past few years has opened my eyes to one…
This is a truly outstanding breakfast! A large buffet, featuring (of course!) local and Western food. In addition, Chinese, Japanese and Indian food, everything of top quality. The bread is excellent, including but not limited to very nice croissants. There is gluten-free and egg-free bread as well. Good choice of…
Another nice buffet. Primarily Western and Vietnamese, but with dashes of Indian and Chinese as well. An egg bar, of course, phở, of course. Good choice of vegetables and very good choice of fresh fruit. The bread is excellent, although the croissants were not quite top notch. Nice choice of…
Apologies for the large number of photos, but this was a very spread-out buffet and it was difficult to capture everything. So, what do we have? Very good choice of local dishes. Also excellent spread of hot dishes, including an egg bar (which I seem to have missed in the…
An excellent breakfast buffet. Good choice of local (Chinese) and Western food. Needless to say, hot and cold dishes, good spread of vegetables, cereals, cold cuts and so on. Pancakes, crepes and waffles. The croissants were excellent and my friend vouched for the dim sum (I’m having dim sum for…
Not much to say about this. A fairly decent breakfast, though certainly not among the best airport lounge meals I’ve had. (In any case a category that rarely lends itself to gourmet eating.) A small buffet, with a mixture of western and eastern food. None of it wrong, none of…
