Breakfast is the main and most important meal of the day, especially when traveling, because it saturates the body with essential nutrients and energy.
Therefore, choosing a hotel with breakfast in St. Petersburg for many tourists is one of the key points when looking for accommodation.
Depending on the hotel, guests may be offered two breakfast options: buffet or à la carte. Let's figure out which one is better to choose, and what the pros and cons of each option are.
A buffet is a buffet that offers a variety of dishes and drinks. Guests can independently choose what they like and pour themselves coffee or tea.
A buffet usually includes various cereals, eggs, meat and fish dishes, vegetables and fruits, pastries, yoghurts, juices and much more. All products are fresh and prepared specifically for breakfast.
However, the buffet does have its drawbacks. First, it is not always convenient for guests who do not want to spend too much time on breakfast. It takes time to go through the entire buffet and choose the right dishes.
In addition, there is a risk of overeating or choosing not the healthiest products, of which there are often enough on the buffet menu.
Menu dining is another breakfast format in which guests choose dishes from the proposed menu and waiters bring them to the table.
Some tourists find this format more convenient because they prefer to have a quick and high-quality breakfast. From the menu, they can choose what suits their taste best and do not waste time reviewing all the dishes on the buffet.
Eating a la carte also has its downsides. You will not be able to control the composition of your plate, the fresh appearance and smell of all the ingredients. Secondly, the menu is very limited in the choice of breakfast items. Also, menu prices may be higher than buffet prices.
Thus, each of the hotel breakfast options has its own advantages and disadvantages. Some will find it more convenient and enjoyable to enjoy a variety of dishes on a buffet, while others will prefer fast and high-quality à la carte service.
The main thing is that the hotel breakfast is hearty, tasty and has a positive effect on your mood and activity throughout the day.
At the Express Sadovaya Hotel in St. Petersburg, breakfasts are served buffet style. To add them to your stay, select the appropriate rate or include this service in the cost of your room reservation.
