I've now officially seen it all. I just wrapped up a stay at the Sheraton Lisbon, which was one of the nicest Sheraton properties I've ever stayed at. The breakfast buffet was mostly unremarkable, at least compared to the likes of the St. Regis Saadiyat Island and Le Meridien Bangkok, except for one little thing…

Caviar, lobster, foie gras, and sashimi at the St. Regis Bali... where the breakfast is free for all guests, regardless of room type or status.
@ Al -- They had shades that could be lowered and I was traveling alone, so I thought it actually made the room feel more spacious.
Have you been to the Rome Cavalieri Waldorf Astoria? A pretty staggering spread. Beautiful.
This breakfast actually saved our lives once after a night of clubbing; it was the only place to get food in Saldanha at the ridiculous hour we returned from clubbing. Expensive but worth it, and I'm sure we stood out considering everyone was respectably dressed and we looked like still-drunk club kids in tight clothes.
Ribeye steaks for breakfast at the Mandarin Oriental in Kuala Lmpur. Like you have a chef making your omelet in most hotels you could pick your own ribeye steak and give to a chef and he would grill it for you the way you wanted.
I think you expect an awesome buffet at a big name hotel one or resort. I stayed at a Best Western hotel in Coimbra, Portugal and they had an amazing breakfast which included real Pata Negra Jamon Serrano. What a pleasant surprise ( combined with very good service ) from an otherwise easy to forget and dilapidated hotel for 60 euros a night.
If it says "vin mousseux" it means it's a French sparkling wine, not champagne.
I also doubt it was fish roe from the fish type classified as 'caviar' (oscietra etc)
@Lucky - do you have an Uber $30 discount link? The least I could do is use your link. By the way, is there a way around to use Uber for those without access to a smartphone?
@ Silver -- You do unfortunately need a smartphone. Here's my link for the $30 free ride:

@Lucky – About your post several days ago, was it AA's website you used to check Cathay Pacific first class award seats availability? If not, which site did use?
@ Silver -- It was the BA site:

I'll agree with Gary. The St. Regis Bali was by far the most surprising breakfast spread I've ever experienced. My hubby got a cooked to order lobster omelette and wagyu beef steak and eggs.
They also, in my opinion, had the best french toast I've ever eaten.
The Shelbourne in Dublin breakfast buffet has honeycomb straight from the hive, still attached to the wooden frame, displayed on a little easel. Unfortunately, it's pretty hard to dig some out, but it's impressive looking.
