Berlin · Germany
Hotel Adlon Kempinski
Unrated: a Sunday breakfast on Pariser Platz, the plate in full bloom, the verdict missing.
Notebook
The Eggs Benedict
No rating.
Translated from my German notes.
The Adlon on Pariser Platz, right opposite the Brandenburg Gate, is probably Berlin’s best-known hotel. Opened in 1907, destroyed in the war and reopened on the same site in 1997.
On the plate
It’s served on porcelain decorated with poppies, cornflowers and daisies, fitting for late summer. Under the hollandaise lie the poached egg, crispy bacon and toasted bread, topped with bacon crumbs and threads of a dark reduction, with a tuft of cress on the side.
How it tasted isn’t recorded in the notebook. This visit therefore remains unrated.
