Once again, a non-hotel breakfast in Stockholm. If I continue with these types of breakfasts, I will have to introduce a separate rating system. Obviously, they will never be buffets. However, the hot chocolate was quite nice, perhaps slightly bitter, but better than too sweet. The croissants have won a…
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…
Breakfast buffets have sadly not returned, at least not to Britain. Still, today is ‘Freedom Day’ (at least in England and who knows for how long?), so I’m hoping for the best. Meanwhile, in this really lovely hotel (a ‘restaurant with rooms’, actually), breakfast offers a fair choice of warm…
After more than a year, finally another breakfast buffet. I won’t say that the wait was worth it, but this is very nice. A good choice of bread and pastries, jams, honey and cold cuts, supplemented by smoked salmon. Nice salad bar, fruit selection and a choice of warm dishes.…
With the post-pandemic arrangements, there isn’t very much you can write about breakfasts, at least in Scotland. They are all pretty similar, you order at the table, either basic (toast, preserves et cetera) or the “full Scottish”. So the difference boils down to service. Today’s breakfast was a reasonable average,…
A decent, if unspectacular, breakfast. Nice choice of warm dishes, a good spread of vegetables and fruit, as well as cold cuts and cheeses (including some local). However, the bread selection was disappointing and the tea (one kind only) was of course only bags. 5/10.
Another quite extensive breakfast buffet. However (and as was only to be expected), the Western component, while somewhat larger than in, e.g., Kaifeng, was still relatively limited. The bread selection was disappointing and the eggs were pre-fried, although otherwise it was a reasonable spread, including a decent choice of fruit…
After the rather sparse breakfast we had at the Bolor Hotel two days ago, our chef, Sugar, decided that she could do much better. She certainly did! A lovely cheese omelette, nice sausages, a pleasant range of condiments, juices, yoghurt etc. Everything cooked on a tiny little stove seen in…
Again, not a buffet; and bag tea. But, on the other hand, the breakfast was served in the restaurant where John Jay, John Adams and Benjamin Franklin celebrated the ratification of the Treaty of Paris in 1783. The scrambled eggs were good and the choice of tea bags was ample.…
Another nice Middle Eastern breakfast. In other words, plenty of cheese, bread, honey and salads. Less strong on the warm dishes, which were a bit unimaginative, and only one type of fruit (apples). As against that, the amazing view of Istanbul from the terrace, with Hagia Sofia and the Blue…
