Breakfast:

Bread, ham, cheese, boiled egg, blah blah blah.

Lunch:

Salad including sweetcorn, tomatoes, mozzarella, butter beans, &c.

Dinner:

Stuck in Berlin airport, with my flight delayed by two hours (yes, British Airways, and Terminal 5-bound), so had a crappy sandwich which, I think, contained some cheese, along with some token salad to bulk it out. On the plane, a horrible coronation chicken/cheese & chutney combination. I really don’t know why they bother.

Breakfast:

The usual hotel stuff.

Lunch:

A mixed bag – potato salad, sweetcorn, tomato, butter beans, kidney beans, cucumber, along with some chicken nugget type things, cheese-filled chili peppers, and breaded mozzarella.

Dinner:

Italian place called Malatesta (which, I was told by my linguist colleague, means ‘headache’). Lovely restaurant, and food was ok. The Italian in our party reckoned it was pretty close to the real deal. I had fried squid to start with, followed by a main of linguine con vongole, which was well-seasoned and gave a nice hint of the sea. My review on Qype

Breakfast:

The hotel doesn’t seem to change breakfast at all, so I had the same as yesterday.

Lunch:

Tagliatelle with broccoli and salmon. Another work canteen special. The tagliatelle was rather overcooked.

Dinner:

We were taken out to a Swiss restaurant called Nola’s. Since we were a large group, we ended up having to choose from a set menu.

Starters were cheese-based dishes, such as baked goat’s cheese, and cheese and spinach salad. My choice of main was pork wrapped in pancetta, which was accompanied by green beans wrapped in bacon. The pork was slightly overcooked but the pancetta was pleasantly thin and crispy. More in my review on Qype.

Breakfast:

Bread, meat, cheese, yoghurt, boiled egg.

I like staying in continental hotels. The breakfast is substantial enough to be satisfying, yet not artery clogging. Yes, I could try to avoid the cooked breakfasts, but I find it very difficult to do so.

Lunch:

Chicken meat balls, cardamom sauce, rice, from the work canteen. Surprisingly tasty, despite its appearance.

Dinner:

We went for a Thai meal at a place called Kori & Fay. My review on Qype gives more details but I had some of the mixed appetisers and a main of a green curry.
