We had a great breakfast, but by the end of it, we found that oil had accummulated in the plate, making the remainder soggy. Still very nice though. The waiter was stressed by the numerous tables, but he did a good job and very friendly.

Du Jour came highly recommended but I left somewhat disappointed. Service was friendly but inept (they couldn't give more details about the fairly extensive wine list, took forever to bring the bill etc). Spaghetti with seafood was nice but a little thin on the seafood and too oily. I hate having to put pepper on food (especially seafood!) just to give it a little taste! Nice room but I won't be coming back.

I ate breakfast here twice while staying in the Diamant Hotel next door. Both times the service was awful and the food average (though the roasted tomatoes were a hit). On the first occasion the coffee/tea we ordered with breakfast arrived 10 minutes after the food. On the second occasion one of my fellow companions food arrived 15 minutes after the rest of the tables food arrived. The staff seemed uninterested, or just very overworked when we queried our missing food and drink.
