It was some time ago when we checked in at Conrad Hotel in Manila and we had a nice breakfast buffet at Brasseri on 3. I thought to share it as I know that my husband had a wonderful breakfast there with me, of course 🙂 Who wouldn’t? The al fresco part of the restaurant gives a nice view of Manila Bay and the still-peaceful street down below. I can also remember how good the selection of food was.

I have my own best quality criteria for a buffet breakfast and I’ll share it here with you. So far, Brasseri on 3 had all these: (photos I’ve shared here were just the tip of the iceberg, only my favorites). Brasseri On 3 is located inside Conrad Manila.

5 best qualities of a breakfast buffet in hotel

Variety: A great breakfast buffet in a hotel should offer a wide range of options to cater to different tastes and dietary preferences. It should include a diverse selection of fresh fruits, pastries, cereals, bread, yogurt, eggs, meats, cheeses, and beverages. This ensures that guests have ample choices and can enjoy a balanced and satisfying breakfast.

Quality of food: The food served in a breakfast buffet should be of high quality, fresh, and well-prepared. Ingredients should be sourced from reliable suppliers, and the dishes should be cooked with care and attention to detail. This ensures that guests have a memorable culinary experience and are satisfied with the taste and presentation of the food.

Presentation: Aesthetics play a crucial role in creating an inviting breakfast buffet. The food should be attractively displayed, with an emphasis on cleanliness, organization, and visual appeal. Well-arranged food stations, appealing garnishes, and colorful displays can enhance the overall dining experience and make guests feel welcomed and excited about their meal.

Customization options: A breakfast buffet that offers customization options allows guests to personalize their meals according to their preferences. This can include made-to-order omelets or pancakes, a variety of toppings and condiments, and dietary accommodations for guests with special needs, such as gluten-free or vegan options. Customization adds an extra level of flexibility and ensures that all guests can find something suitable for their dietary requirements.

Service and ambiance: Apart from the food itself, the quality of service and overall ambiance are important factors that contribute to an excellent breakfast buffet experience. Attentive and friendly staff members should be available to assist guests, replenish food items, and ensure cleanliness. The dining area should be well-maintained, with comfortable seating arrangements, pleasing decor, and a relaxed atmosphere. This creates a positive environment that enhances the enjoyment of the breakfast buffet and leaves a lasting impression on guests.
