AI summary of what 6 dish mentions say about the food
Reviewers at The Ritz London rave about the ethereal Omelette, praising its impossibly silky texture. The overall vibe is one of timeless, refined indulgence.
“The presentation is a bit disappointing — when they brought it, I initially thought it was a napkin on a plate. It's very simple, technically just spread in the pan and rolled. It smells good of butter and is well-cooked, not runny inside. But as a dish, it's nothing special.”

PROVO la colazione nell'HOTEL di LUSSO più ANTICO del MONDO - Ritz Londra · @ 00:11
The Ritz Hotel in London offers a breakfast experience steeped in history and grandeur, set within a breathtakingly opulent dining room. While the ambiance and service are undeniably five-star, the culinary execution of the breakfast dishes presents a mixed bag. The pastries, particularly the pain au chocolat and cinnamon roll, are exceptional, showcasing exquisite lamination and delightful flavors. The Eggs Royal is also a standout, perfectly cooked and harmoniously balanced. However, simpler dishes like the omelette and French toast fall short, lacking complexity and refinement. The overall experience is significantly impacted by the very high price point, making it a luxurious indulgence rather than a consistently outstanding culinary destination for breakfast.
Dishes mentioned
Croissant
The croissant has a beautiful butter aroma and is well-baked, not runny inside. But the dough inside is a bit tough and thick, so it resisted a bit when I bit into it. Still, the butter and dough balance each other perfectly, with the fat coating and the toasted flakiness. It's a good product for 18 pounds, especially in a place like this.
Pain au Chocolat
This one is amazing. The chocolate is incredible — not too dark, it intoxicates the palate halfway between sweet and bitter. The flakiness is like a fan. The thickness of the pastry is less noticeable here because the chocolate distracts. I discovered it uses Gianduia chocolate, which is why it's so enveloping, deep, almost familiar. It's a great product.
Cinnamon Roll
Very, very interesting. The texture of the dough seems like a mix between a brioche bun and an inverse flaky pastry, but I think it's all flaky. What drives me crazy is that when you're about to bite it, it intoxicates you with this incredible initial cinnamon aroma. It's really good.
Omelette
The presentation is a bit disappointing — when they brought it, I initially thought it was a napkin on a plate. It's very simple, technically just spread in the pan and rolled. It smells good of butter and is well-cooked, not runny inside. But as a dish, it's nothing special.
Eggs Royal
The egg is perfectly cooked inside. The bread is very light, well-toasted, with excellent smoky salmon flavor, then the silkiness of the hollandaise sauce and these little acidic pushes. Everything is truly perfect for an Eggs Royale.
