In a quiet way, the new restaurant at the Poseidon Hotel – Bistro Oscar – has recently opened. The former restaurant closed a while ago, the place was gutted and the new Bistro has opened on time.
It’s really nice. I’ve been there for breakfast – it is now open for dinner, but they’re gathering evening staff and have asked we be “understanding” till they are up to full compliment. The breakfast staff were impeccable and we can’t blame them for wanting to train the evening staff to the same standard. We did look at the dinner menu and it looks interesting – can’t wait to try it.
The breakfast, however, is now wonderful. There were a few teething troubles, but these all appear to be overcome and the food is superb. The price for breakfast es exactly right (175B), considering the quality of food you get. The egg menu is cooked to order, efficiently and well. My omelette was just about perfect. The rest of the buffet perfectly compliments it and was tasty, filling and slightly different. It made a very pleasant change.
The coffee in particular is worthy of note. It’s a specially imported arabica bean, from fair trade sources, and is roasted for Oscars specially. The flavour is wonderful and the breakfast includes as much as you want. If they keep on going as they are now, and the evening meals are as good as the breakfast, they will do very well indeed.
