French Kitchen’s breakfast buffet is more extensive than the Club’s. But the disparity is not as significant as at, say, Conrad Tokyo or GH Hong Kong. Grand Club breakfast here has essentially the same selection of pastries, fruits and salad bar, and seemingly almost the same extent of Japanese offerings.
The service at the French Kitchen is also not attentive like at PH’s Girandole.
They have jasmine tea at the club but not downstairs at the French Kitchen.
I agree that while the French Kitchen selection is more varied than what can be found at the Grand Club, the delta isn’t as big as can be typically found between hotel club and proper restaurants.
IME, have had not issues asking for Jasmine tea at the French Kitchen.
