What’s the best part of a hotel breakfast?

[ABowlOfPorridge]

Assuming that you like them.

I very rarely eat breakfast as I’m not hungry until around 1pm, sometimes later but I will make the occasional exception for a hotel breakfast.

One of the best I had was in a hotel in Jersey which offered many choices including an entire side of hot smoked salmon. I ate so much of the salmon that I’m surprised that I didn’t die of sodium poisoning.

I’m going away this weekend and curious to see what’s on offer. More often than not I usually just have fruit juice and coffee, occasionally cereal but I still enjoy seeing if they have any interesting options.

For some reason those tiny glasses of fruit juice taste incredible in the morning and the pack of 2 wrapped Weetabix tastes better than it does at home.

So what are your favourite hotel breakfast items and which hotels offer the best?

Best was in Sweden. Lots of choice, great quality. Worst thing was queuing for the coffee machines. I like poached eggs cooked well, good bread, Greek yoghurt or Skyr. Smoked salmon.

I really like a choice of lots of seedy and whole meal or different grain breads with a pile of scrambled eggs and maybe some grilled tomatoes.

I never bother with proper breakfast at home and we only ever have one type of bread in stock so it’s lovely to have a choice.

Having it done for you , and being able to walk away without tidying up !

Every hotel in Norway! Artisan breads, local butter, homemade granola, smoked salmon, plenty of fruit and yoghurt, all the milks.. So fresh and everything clearly labelled for dietary requirements. Oh and the ginger energy shots! The best 👌

I'd love to know the B&B trick with bacon. Even if I buy the dry cured stuff it never tastes like theirs.
And fried bread too, when you can get it!

Hash browns

I’m with you on the amazing seeded and wholemeal breads. I could eat my body weight in those with just some butter though a nice jam or honey wouldn’t go amiss.

You’re right. That’s definitely the best part.

All the fancy bread and jam, and fruits (thinking of the last 5* holiday hotel) The continental selection of cheese and cold meat was brilliant.

The cooked stuff wasn't that great but there weren't that many Brits and they managed 😃

The hotel in Cardiff city centre that I stayed in last week had kippers and poached eggs as a dish to order fresh from the kitchen. Other dishes, such as pancakes, porridge etc could all be ordered too.

All the hot buffet breakfast food was served in Le Creuset. The high quality of the crockery matched the high quality of the food inside. Really delicious meaty sausages and some of the best hash browns I've had.

This alongside all manner of fruit, meats, cheeses, juice, smoothies, yogurts, cereals, breads, pastries.

We'd lucked out at £89 for 2, Inc breakfast, for the night!

Edited to say that they also had smoked salmon @ABowlOfPorridge that tasted really great.

I love salmon roe if it's available abroad.Its lovely on crackers with soft cheese.Poor man's caviar lol

Which hotel was that please @Globules ?

Wow the scandi brekkies sound awesome

I love an omelette station in a hotel, usually abroad, don't think I've seen one here.

Hotel Indigo @Fangdango

I booked a few nights before staying and it popped up at that price. It was only a few pounds more than Easy hotel!

English Breakfast 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿. Won't settle for anything less! RUUULLE BRITAINNIA. But no my favourite breakfast so far has been a traditional Turkish kahvalti very nice

Excellent, thank you. I often book a hotel in Cardiff 😋

Ok, so maybe Im a bit of a weirdo, but I LOVE just a bowl of baked beans topped with crispy bacon. Side of toast for dipping.

Orange juice and a good quality croissant will do me failing that a coffee, water and cigarette

The buffet breakfast at The Grand Brighton. Love it there x

Not quite what you asked but the best breakfast I had was at a B&B in Wexford. Homemade rolls, sausages, bacon and black pudding from the farm beside them, eggs from their own hens and homemade butter and jam. It was absolutely amazing especially considering I don’t usually fancy a cooked breakfast!

It's having sausages.
I mean - who can be arsed to cook sausages at home for breakfast?
Such a treat!

The choice. I never eat cooked breakfast but I love a whole variety.

100%

Lots of different exotic fruits that someone else has peeled and sliced.
Interesting breads and pastries and cheeses/cold meats.
