Nice, but not outstanding breakfast selection: Restaurant Elstar @ Hotel Imperial Riding School, Autograph Collection (30. June 2024)
The breakfast selection at the Hotel Imperial Riding School, Autograph Collection in the Elstar restaurant is quite decent. It ranges from a set of cold cuts … … to cheese, salmon, as well as a few different spreads … … a nice selection of fresh fruit and yogurt with fruit juices and smoothies … … […]
Decent food offering for a late night dinner: Restaurant Elstar @ Hotel Imperial Riding School, Autograph Collection (29. June 2024)
What I found quite surprising, but on a positive note, was the fact that you could still order something to eat by like 10.30pm. I was almost the only guest in there, but they were superbly friendly and attentive and made sure I didn’t feel like the guest no one wanted to serve towards the […]
Surprisingly decent club lounge experience: Club Lounge @ Sheraton Mexico City Maria Isabel Hotel (27. May 2024)
After a rather disappointing breakfast experience, I was quite positively surprised by the selection of food you get at the Club Lounge in the Sheraton Mexico City Maria Isabel Hotel – it’s located on the 18th floor, and if some of the elevators are broken, it takes you a while to get there, but the […]
A quite disappointing breakfast experience: Restaurant Manhattan Deli @ Sheraton Mexico City Maria Isabel Hotel (27. May 2024)
Properly overpriced breakfast (460 MXN per person) is what you get here. I mean, the selection isn’t too bad, but if you’re a Marriott Bonvoy Elite, then the overall experience is rather disappointing. Personally, I found the selection somewhat dissatisfactory. Sure, you get everything from fruit … … to bacon, frijoles, some weird sausages … […]
A nice little speak easy, which is not that well-hidden: Joao’s Place @ W Hotel Edinburgh (27. April 2024)
I was recommended Joao’s Place and since it was conveniently located in the hotel I was staying at, I decided to give it a try. Joao’s Place is a little speak easy, which isn’t hidden that well, but has a rather limited number of seats, hence, you should absolutely book in advance. They have their […]
A close to perfect à la carte breakfast menu: Restaurant Sushisamba @ W Edinburgh (27. April 2024)
I was a bit surprised to learn that the W does not have a breakfast buffet, especially, since I really enjoy the W breakfast buffets usually, but they offer an à la carte selection of dishes (usually, you get one hot dish per person). However, it seems like I was lucky and was allowed two […]
A decent place for breakfast if you’re staying here: Restaurant CentOnze @ Le Méridien Barcelona (23. March 2024)
It is more than 10 years ago since I’ve last been to this restaurant, respectively, that I had stayed at the Le Méridien Barcelona and, of course, I couldn’t really remember how the breakfast experience was, but to summarise it, it was ‘practical’. You get everything you need and want, but it is not one […]
A decent breakfast selection, when you stay here: Restaurant Alcachofa @ Labtwentytwo Barcelona, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel (22. March 2024)
The breakfast selection at the Restaurant Alcachofa (which means ‘artichoke’ – which is quite a strange name for a breakfast restaurant) was actually surprisingly decent. I haven’t stayed at too many Tribute Portfolio Hotels, bu the one I have been to wasn’t that amazing, so, I had no expectations. But they offer kind of everything, […]
