        Europe is a pretty big continent…the breakfast you get in the Netherlands is going to be different to the one you get in France or the UK.

          Italy vs. Germany. The only occasion where Germany wins against Italy when it comes to food. But Turkey is where the real breakfast kings reside.

            Hold up- did you just say German food is better than Italian? I have never once in my life seen a German restaurant. Italian restaurants are all over the place

            Edit: apologies. I misread and that you said “is when it comes to food”. Sounds like I need to try me some German breakfast.

              German breakfast is good, but it isn’t the greates breakfast on earth. But Italian breakfast is terrible. It is basically coffee and some sweet pastry.

                IDK I might be biased but what you described sounds like heaven.

                Meanwhile Germans fry sausages at every occasion, call that cuisine, and yet aren’t event the best in Europe at doing that.

          Yes, we have several hotels over here, in the county (city? village?) of Europe.

          Yes, but many big hotel chains have a buffet style breakfast that does not only include typical local food. For instance in France a local breakfast would be bread, croissant or other pastries, and a coffee, but you would also find scrambled eggs, bacon, cereal, etc.

          Smaller hotels will be more local though yes.

            That’s a continental breakfast, and they’re popular in the US too, both east and west coast.

          Okay I’ve had hotel breakfasts in literally those three and it was great. But you make a good point.

        I don’t know what hotels you go to but my experience has been pretty mid across most of Europe. Bog-standard continental breakfast buffets. Croissants, orange juice, cereal, toast, all of mediocre quality.

        Not terrible as it is, but you can likely get infinitely better breakfast by hopping over to any cafe across the street.

        Strongly disagree, I’ve stayed in a fair few hotels around the world. Best are usually US or Asia(not China)

          Literally most places, and depends on what you like. I think anywhere in France is the tits for delicious food (try traveling outside of Paris as well).

          I’ve been to Sweden a couple times, and the real food they serve in hotels or cafeterias versus the industrial processed eating product that we usually have in the US really puts us to shame.

          But that goes for many aspects of the culture. The whole, you know, respect other humans thing.

        Can confirm, been to hotels all over Europe, even the fancy a la carte ones are fairly shitty if you dont need breakfast like a normie morning person.
