Breakfast OCT 2023

Breakfast is served at restaurant Osco! which is located on the RC level between the reception and elevator lobby.
It is served weekdays fron 6.30 till 10.30 mornings and in the weekend till 11.00.
There are some windows overlooking the street from above

Upon arrival your host will check your name and room number on the hotel's guest manifest and guide you to a table

If you have
- booked a breakfast rate inclusive
- chose breakfast as your diamond welcome amenity

You will have this placed at your table:
DO NOT REMOVE THIS


Slab denoting to server that your breakfast is inclusive and you won't need to be presented with a bill afterwards


I thought it was a keepsake press paper weight and was about to put it in my handbag as a souvenir !
Atacama40 : no this is not the free gift


This is the menu, you order a set offering, there is no buffet.
Servers will roam about to pour you filter black coffee and offer you orange juice.

So these are the set dishes available

Menu as of OCT 2023


And for your entertainment we chose :

1

THE HEALTHY
24 CAD
Plain greek yogurt, bowl of berries and crunchy wildflower honey granola or bowl of oatmeal and maple syrup




2


THE BENEDICTINE
29 CAD
Two eggs benedict, smoked salmon, spinach, and tarragon hollandaise sauce, served with breakfast potatoes, fresh fuits



And why did i told you not to remove the slab....
Because without the slab on the table, you will be automatic presented with the following bill :





Why am i presented a bill ?!
I'm a Diamond guest, i have a breakfast rate??
What's this nonsense ?!
Answer: " did you not get from the host the Diamond elite marker?"
Ahum, shame red, i put the slab out of my purse back on the table, rolleyes by S/O and disbelief by the server but fortunately no breakfast bill to be paid
Hilarity, its inviting and amusing at the same time
