25. January 2016: Restaurant Bene @ Sheraton Grand Rio Hotel & Resort
The breakfast selection at the Restaurant Bene is quite exhaustive ranging from regular foods like potatoes and grilled vegetables (unfortunately cold) to …
… eggs and sausages …
… and obviously bacon …
… various kind of dumplings …
… pancakes …
… and an omelet station …
… but what is really genius about it is the selection of different fruit they offer – fruit you usually don’t get in Europe in a breakfast buffet like Guava, Papaya, and Passion Fruit.
… and something call “quince cheese” or “goiabada”. It looks like tuna and at first I though – oh, how lovely, tuna sashimi for breakfast! But it actually is sweet and creamy, quite interesting really!
And they even offer lovely juices like “orange with kale” which was incredibly healthy. Also quite tasty to be honest. The breakfast area is furnished nicely and definitely appealing as you really get the feeling of being close to the beach – which you actually are. The Sheraton is apparently the only place which has a private beach to enjoy.
The waiter that morning was Martin which was incredibly friendly, swift, and jovial. He did a great job as even when I finished my glass of orange juice he was immediately there to ask me if I wanted another glass. Overall, the breakfast at the Restaurant Bene is lovely as the dishes are good, the place is nice, service is exquisite and it is included as an SPG Platinum.

I started the blog in October 2009, while living in Milan which I definitely consider to be one of the food capitals of the world. I was in touch with food since my early childhood (as my father is a former chef). Whenever I can, I travel the world to discover new places, to meet people but mostly to try local dishes and to find hidden gems! If you know a place worth going, please drop a line to: info@thediningexperience.org.
