Now let's talk about breakfast. Breakfast was served in the George V Dining Room.



When we arrived, I was a little shocked at first. There was a line in front of the restaurant, but everyone was in a good mood. That's normal. At the same time, there were lots of waiters walking around chatting with people and doing other things, but no one was assigning tables. Was everyone satisfied? Well, not quite everyone. One person's anger was slowly building, and the longer we waited, the worse it got. Then a waiter came...
The usual small talk began immediately, with everyone expressing their delight. “How are you?” “Did you have a beautiful night?” And all that stuff. Well, not a good idea when you've left Offerendum standing there like an idiot beforehand. So the answer was: “Not good, after the experience here,” which of course led to a stunned look. I then added, in a friendly manner, that the whole thing felt “like a cheap 3-star airport hotel.” People were rather speechless. I then explained in a friendly manner that it was absolutely unacceptable to leave people standing around outside the door. Well, maybe a little unfriendly and unnecessary in hindsight, but I'm not in the mood for this feigned good humor and buzz.
In any case, I didn't wait in the morning anymore after that.
Breakfast consisted of items that had to be ordered.

The items we ordered were of good quality, especially the pancakes were excellent.







There was also a buffet. The food was good, and the children's buffet was very nicely presented. The selection was rather limited, especially when it came to cheese.








A word about the service during breakfast: the staff were very attentive and constantly asked if we needed anything. However, this can become a problem. When I am eating my omelet and am asked three or four times (no exaggeration!) if I need anything, it soon becomes annoying. It is well-intentioned, but too much. There's also this urge to make small talk. What did you do yesterday? What are your plans for today? Many people (almost exclusively Americans) at the tables around me were enthusiastically chatting away. But I'm not really in the mood for that, and you can tell from my answers (friendly, but short). But they keep probing. Not really top notch.
