Riverstone Cafe, Exton, PA (USA)

Sunday Brunch is one of those old institutions I used to enjoy very much. Started way back in college, but that’s another story. Anyway, stopped in to the Riverstone Cafe in Exton, PA for a brunch this week. I found it fresh, tasty, and with plenty of options. The great service made the meal a joy. Here’s a look at some of the offerings, including oysters on the half shell:

Of course you also see that salmon there with all the trimmings. As mentioned, here’s a look at the desserts:

Well, now that I ate too much, I get to spend plenty of extra hours in the gym. Enjoy every meal!

Sunday Breakfast at La Vista

La Vista Restaurant at the Marriot Hotel and Resort, Aruba has been recently remodeled. We enjoyed the Sunday Breakfast Buffet a few weeks ago and here is a brief video showing the spread.

The view out over the beach is fantastic. You can see all the way to the ships at anchor. The price of this buffet is quite reasonable given all the food choices and omelets made to order. Guests of the hotel and visitors from other places come for the friendly service and quality cuisine.

Bon dia from Aruba.

Hyatt Sunday Brunch, video

The Hyatt Hotel in Aruba serves a fantastic Sunday brunch. I posted photos before. This time, I’ve made a short video. I left out the breakfast foods, but rest assured, there is every type of breakfast item on offer. Take a look at the video.

Also not shown in the video are the excellent waiters who make this brunch as good as it is. They’re on top of everything. The mimosas stay full, the coffee fresh, the soiled plates disappear as if by magic. Plus, they’re friendly without being officious and congenial without disturbing your meal. Over the years I’ve gotten to know several of the staff. It’s always a pleasure seeing them.

Hyatt Sunday Brunch, Aruba

Wow, the Sunday Brunch at the Hyatt Hotel in Aruba is something to behold. I have a few photos posted here but they don’t even begin to cover everything that’s on offer. Before we get to that, I want to send a word of thanks to Debbi, the nice lady in the photo with me below. She’s been seating me at this feast for years now; she’s also glad my novel, An Island Away, is finally available. She’s watched me writing bits and pieces in between bites over the years. So, Masha Danki, Debbi!

Like every Sunday Brunch, Hyatt has a station where your omelets are made to order. They also make Eggs Benedict to order. Standard, right? How about shrimp and oysters and such like this, not to mention caviar just out of the frame.

And fresh-baked bread of every conceivable type like this…

And salads like this…

 

Then there are more cold salads like these…

I didn’t get a shot of the soups, the three hot entrees, nor the waffles, pancakes, and french toast, nor the bacon and sausage, nor the mountains of fresh fruit. However, here is a shot of the carving station featuring roast beef and roast pork loin.

And the sushi rolls…

There are bananas foster made to order as well as a machine cranking out fresh donuts. And for the finale, here are some of the deserts…

All of this gets washed down with unlimited mimosas, coffee, tea, and various fresh-squeezed juices. In other words, this is a feasting event that you shouldn’t miss. The best part is, you only eat this one meal and skip the rest on Sunday. If your appetite is bigger than that,  be careful. You could hurt yourself.
