If you are looking for a simple breakfast, or an breakfast worthy of a king, then this is not the place for you. However if you want something heavier, but still simple, this IS the place for you!
As an American, and one who loves to eat, I am used to breakfast being a bit heavier than the lighter, more European breakfast fare. While European breakfast is lovely, sometimes I just want to load up on calories in the morning.
Don't let the 3 stars fool you, this is a great breakfast place! There were just a couple of things which kept my experience from being perfect.
This place fit the bill for that wonderfully. I ordered a big English breakfast, and a Willard's salted-caramel hot chocolate.
Hot chocolate was very nice! It was not too sweet, not too hot, and the salted caramel flavor did not overwhelm it! But beware, if you are, like me, the kind of person who needs a cup of something caffeinated to get your morning started, order (also) coffee or tea.
English breakfast was a very simple dish, but full of different ingredients. Out of what I can remember...
Two eggs, over easy and delightfully runny.
Toast was well toasted, came with butter, but being out of the fridge, it was a little hard to spread (I would have preferred toast that is already a little buttery).
Bacon... 3 large, wide, thick, hot slices of balanced-crispy deliciousness. When they came out of the kitchen, the oil on the bacon was still boiling slightly. However, the bacon was a little bit short of something to dream about, since some pieces were a bit chewy in places.
I liked the grilled tomatoes more than I thought I would. Usually, I am not a fan of warm tomatoes, but these were grilled just enough to give them a boost of flavor, but not so much that they become entirely warm.
Beans were good, a very appropriate quantity. Don't quote me on it, but I believe the beans they used were "Heinz Beanz".
Sausage/Wurst was also good, but I would have liked just a touch more flavor from them. While they had good flavor, they could benefit from more spices.
Orange juice being included was a nice touch! However, it would have been better if it was chilled as opposed to room temperature.
Good Service! read more
