Hilton Frankfurt hotel (Hochstrasse 4) or Hilton Frankfurt Airport (at Squaire)? Because IMHO it would be hard to call great the lounge of Hilton Frankfurt am Hochstrasse, it is simply a small space adjacent to elevators (lifts) and breakfast food choice usually is quite limited. Airport Hilton has really great lounge physically and otherwise. However both of them quite recently offered free choice between breakfast in lounge or in restaurant. Has that changed?

-Hilton Garden Inn Firenze Novoli : Full breakfast in restaurant which was good

Hilton Glasgow
Full breakfast in restaurant is also an option for Diamonds (& probably Golds) - check-in staff offered as an alternative to the lounge unprompted.

Copenhagen airport Hilton; decent breakfast in lounge, better breakfast in restaurant. Same food, just wider selection. Have to check your bill on checkout, though. Twice I have been billed for restaurant breakfasts. No issue whatsoever getting it removed, but still, I had to check.

LOL we seem to be doing a good job following each other round the UK, RAPC 
It was a Saturday check-in for Sunday check-out, so not sure if they do things differently at the weekend or not. Certainly my name was on the list when I went to the restaurant and no charge appeared on my bill. I guess we should put this restaurant bit down as a possibility and at least folk know it might be worth asking!
