Biltmore Santa Barbara
 

The Sunday brunch at the Biltmore is unsurpassed! The selection is overwhelming, the quality excellent and the setting is one in which you want to sit for hours. And you may if you try to taste a significant portion of what is on offer!

Jw Marriott Phuket
 

Hands down the JW Marriott in Phuket. A vast selection of eastern and western breakfast offerings. Not one but two chefs for eggs and pancakes. With meats and fish offerings to keep you going until dinner!

I'd have to say the breakfast buffet at the Table Bay Hotel in Cape Town is the best I've experienced. Incredible selection and quality, great service and view of Table Mountain. It seemed to take 20 minutes just to peruse the offerings!

The biggest buffet selection I ever saw was probably at NEXT at the Kowloon Shangri La, they even had HP Sauce ^

The best service was probably at the cafe at the Omni Royal Orleans about 1 years ago. The Maitre D was excellent and seemed to be really interested in his customers.

Also really liked the sidewalk cafe at the Sofitel Los Angeles a couple of years back and the healthy breakfast buffet they used to do at the Clipper Lounge at the Mandarin Oriental in Hong Kong.

5 essential things for a breakfast buffet:
Kelloggs Corn Flakes
Good quality cumberland Sausages
One of those fancy machines that squeeze fresh orange juice
Fresh fried eggs
HP Sauce

Worst breakfast - Crowne Plaza Kuching - the bread was alwys stale, the orange tasted like it was powdered, all the cooked items were cold....The breakfast summed up the hotel, rubbish

Lots of discussion about buffets here (which I don't care for). Has anyone else experienced anything like the Mauna Kea breakfast which offered you the same cooked-to-order breakfast in your room or in the dining room?
Mauna Kea Beach Hotel. It was the first time we had stayed at a hotel which offered a MAP.(breakfast & dinner included in rate). We could order anything or everything from the menu, either via room service or in the dining room.
Some of the items included fresh fruit, macadamia nut waffles with coconut syrup, banana pancakes, banger sausages, about 4 kinds of bacon, any type of omelette, eggs any way you desired (including Benedict), steak and eggs, variety of fresh juices. I have visions of those fresh-baked banana muffins with poha jam. Coffee and tea were served in pretty china pots with the MKB hibiscus logo. When you ordered room service, the server brought a toaster to your room. Sitting on that balcony eating that scrumptious breakfast is a cherished memory and one which we were able to repeat on a number of occasions at the MKB.

Tie Mauna Kea Beach Hotel and Moonlight Bungalow Homestay Ubud, Bali
 

Both breakfasts were served outdoors with a tranquil view. At the MKB the view of the beach and the surf and the newspaper and all the family sitting around the table with the best breakfast of stuffed French toast and papaya. Sweet memories I hope it opens again

In Ubud deep in the upper rice paddies of the Tjampuan district near Penestanan were some lovely quiet little homestays. Literally little houses that were rented out for 10 usd a night including a home cooked breakfast of either banana pancakes YUMMY, something called "jaffles" which were a type of toasted sandwhichy thing or black rice pudding. All were delightful and served by my host Made. More happy breakfast memories

Memorable for very different reasons:

• A full 'fry' in a guesthouse in Doolin, on the West coast of Ireland.
• Dim Sum et al in the Langham Place Mong Kok.
• Poached eggs in the (as was) Meridien Apollo in Amsterdam (properly done, in the water, no poachers, no cling film - I often use these as a marker of a good breakfast!).
• Malabar House Hotel in Fort Cochin, in Kerala. The most mouthwateringly fresh fruit, delicioius dosai... What more could you possibly want?

That really depends on that time of day whether I am in a rush.
