We had the breakfast buffet here and never was there such a classy buffet in all the land. The view was spectacular and a sneeze guard less buffet never sounded or looked better! There’s seriously a person whose job is to run around making sure the buffet looks photo ready, smoothing out the egg dishes or making sure the fruits are arranged properly. When we sat down, we received wonderful service and were immediately offered alternatives to scrambled eggs that the chef could whip up especially for us. We also got coffees — which are fancy Japanese-style Americanos, but in my opinion better than America’s for their more subtle(never harsh), earthy flavor. Was a little pricey but what do you expect? 42,000 yen will get both western and eastern breakfast delicacies(or you can order a la carte — or get their traditional Japanese breakfast tray for the same price). The western options were: –bacon, sausage, eggs(the classiest and best looking!) –European options like meats, cheeses, breads –muesli, yogurt(some of it locally made) –lox –milks an juices –pastries On the eastern side, options are: –plain rice congee –pickled vegetables, seaweed, etc –traditional Japanese breakfast fare that appeared to come with many options for toppings

Oh? No English review of this place? Guess I’m just going to review the restaurant Girandole then! I had their breakfast buffet here as well as their weekend dinner, which while expensive, was definitely up to standards and I can vouch for their prices. There are rave reviews for their breakfast buffet, and I am glad I also had a chance to try it out. Since it was the weekend the price was 3900 Yen for their Girandole Breakfast Buffet, but thankfully they also provided a series of delectable sides and dishes that usually would coincide with an expensive selection. Upon sitting down, the waitresses will ask what kind of eggs you would like to accommodate your breakfast. I chose two hardboiled eggs and they came out on this lovely tray. The typical coffee and tea also comes out but a the variation of coffee is astounding, from white coffee to cappuccinos to lattes, you can try them all! You get a selection of juices, morning bakeries(I MEAN A LOT), cereals, yoghurt, bircher muesli, fresh fruits, dried fruits, lots of greens, selection of cold meats, smoked salmon and a variety of cheeses! Then you have the typical American styled breakfast choices like scrambled eggs(delicious), bacon, sausage, more MEAT, and a ton more that I barely can visibly remember after eating so much! I also had their holiday weekend dinner, but to my bewildered amusement I cannot find the menu that describes the most amazing dinner I had in Japan! Regardless, this beautiful, intricate and amazing place is worth the visit!
