A pretty basic breakfast (but I’m not complaining; at least there is a breakfast. For my first night in Hanoi, my university mistakenly put me up in a ‘love hotel’, where rooms rent by the hour and have very interesting furniture; and there was no breakfast). That being said, the…
I have rated this breakfast before. But that was during the pandemic, when the offering was limited, and it deserves an update. So, a small but quite nice buffet. No vegetables, but a choice of cold cuts, cheese, yoghurt and fruit. Very nice croissants. In addition, there is a menu…
An excellent delicatessen, about 10 minutes walk from Princes Street. True, they did not have a buffet. On the other hand, the tea was loose leaf. The different options on the menu (and we tried four or five) were all delicious, and nicely presented. The menu was not very long,…
Another example of the excellent Nordic hotel breakfast, but this time with a twist. As usual, a nice buffet with lots of choice, hot and cold. Plenty of cheese, cold cuts, condiments, vegetables and fruit. Tea was bags as well as loose leaf. Among the hot dishes, there were not…
Once again, a menu to choose from, but no buffet. The menu is, however, quite substantial and varied. Moreover, as in any good restaurant, they are willing to adjust according to your tastes or needs, or dietary requirements. The smoked salmon bagel was good , as was the Greek yoghurt…
Yet another menu only breakfast, fairly heavy on the egg dishes. Not much to say about it. The food was competently prepared, but by no means spectacular. I would rate this 5/10.
Strangely, the restaurant menu in this hotel is heavily Nordic-influenced, with dishes from Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland. Apparently, the original owners were Swedish. On the negative side, service was exceedingly slow; and when we asked for milk with our tea, we were given a little flask of frothy warm…
My faith in the great American breakfast is gradually being restored. Admittedly, still not a buffet. However, a varied and quite substantial menu. The scarmbled eggs and bacon were very nice and the fruit was excellent. However, members of the party felt that the oatmeal was better at the Atticus…
Strangely, the restaurant in this hotel in the far northwest of the United States is Mediterranean, or more specifically Middle Eastern-themed. In addition, there is no buffet, just a menu. This means that you will not be able to have any of the “normal Western“ breakfast, e.g., toast. That being…
Loose-leaf tea. A samovar. A very funny sign about coffee. (Top left picture.) This started well and continued better. An excellent buffet, which, once again shows how you can combine what seems fairly limited in size with a very wide choice. So, plenty of vegetables, different types of cheeses, lots…
