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…
Strangely, I don’t think I have ever reviewed the BA BusinessClass breakfast. As with my recent review on First Class, I am fully aware of the problems of cooking in the air. I will therefore restrict myself to saying that the fruit platter was very nice, as was the granola.…
Given how much I you usually tout the virtues of the Middle Eastern breakfast, this was a bit of a disappointment. It’s a medium-sized buffet, with a decent selection of warm and cold dishes, as well as an egg bar. On the plus side they have shakshouka but it wasn’t…
I do not often fly First Class. (In fact, with regards to British Airways, I don’t think I ever will again. But that is not because of the breakfast.) However, for various reasons I did so on this very short trip, and since it is eight years ago since I…
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…
It is safe to say that the moment I walked into this amazing French colonial style hotel (at 3:30 am!), I thought, ‘they will have a great breakfast’. Fortunately, my instant impression was fully borne out. This is a very nice, very large buffet. Vietnamese and western only. Plenty of…
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…
