80 June 2014 www.womanthismonth.com Jan Gutzmann It’s not like women need an excuse to get together, but this new breakfast spread offered by Gulf Hotel Bahrain looks like a good reason to step out in the morning. Breakfast with the girls Whether it’s for a break from work with your colleagues or you just need to take a breather after dropping the kids to school, the Ladies’ Breakfast at Café Delices at The Gulf Hotel Bahrain is a great option for women looking to unwind with their friends. Available all day long, this lavish spread is as much a feast for the eyes as it is for the palate. Think of it as a morning version of afternoon high tea, available all day long. “The ladies’ breakfast retreat is a new concept that we’d like to introduce to the Kingdom,” says Jan Gutzmann, director of food and beverage at The Gulf Hotel Bahrain. “We invite women to Café Delices for a casual gathering, where they can enjoy some delicious savoury and sweet treats along with coffee or tea.” We had a go at the plentiful breakfast. Here are our top reasons why we think you should try it: it’s delicious, it’s convenient, and it’s just BD5! This isn’t your regular breakfast at a hotel, where you have a buffet spread that you need to pick and choose from. The best part about having breakfast at Café Delices aside from the ample parking space, easy access and central location, is the endless possibilities the set-up offers. An array of mini-sandwiches makes it to your table, followed by a variety of cheese dishes. These platters are presented beautifully. You’re in for a treat when the sweet options are served. Every plate is meant to be shared. Don’t worry; they refill it whenever you’d like them to. Add to this a choice of coffee or tea, and you’ve got a feast at BD5. “We want women to feel comfortable and stay as long as they please, while they chitchat over breakfast,” says Lama Semaan, food and beverage manager at the five-star property. “We are happy to accommodate large groups; the more, the merrier. So if clubs and societies would like to host their monthly gatherings over a casual breakfast, we can play host as the women enjoy their morning together.” Although booking is not mandatory, it is highly recommended as they can set up the tables specifically for your group before you arrive. The venue allows you to organise talks and small-scale workshops as well. In time, the hotel will hold cooking demonstrations by their expert chefs in order to keep guests entertained. The unique breakfast concept is available daily from 7am onwards. Call 17 713-000.
