"buffet" doesnt necessarily cover it does it. forgot about my breakfast at brandenburger hof (german breakfast, a la carte, 9 tasting dishes, continental station) kind of club style without the club. or actually, even like table service tea (had the same type of tiered plates, but bigger) but with actual food.
Yes, Brandenburger Hof étagère breakfast presentation is very smart, I agree. I am seeing this more and more in hotels - a sort of afternoon tea style breakfast.
Ballyfin is interesting. It is very new, so needs some work, but is without doubt a unique hotel, full of museum quality antiques that are literally lying around the place rather than locked up in cabinets. Dinner is a multi-course gourmet experience of a very high quality, but they are very flexible, so you can create your own meals in discussion with the Exec Chef - a very Aman concept.
