Well maybe not, but the breakfast we had at Hotel Losset in a Burgundy village called Flagey-Echezeax was certainly the best breakfast I've ever had.
This small family run hotel is in a village in Burgundy, where we stopped off recently while driving from England to our house in Italy.
The breakfast started with the usual offerings of tea, coffee and fresh orange juice. Then followed a beautiful selection of home made fruit compotes, mango and apple, strawberry and mint, kiwi and pineapple, orange and banana, and finally blackcurrant and pear, all beautifully presented in a varied range of small glasses.
Then a basket of home baked fresh bread, croissants, and pastries, accompanied by three very large pots of home made preserves; strawberry jam, apricot jam, and a home made marmalade.
Followed by homesmoked salmon, and a plate of 4 local cheeses, including a wonderful cheese called Époisses de Bourgogne, an unpasteurised stinky cow’s cheese made in the local Epoisses village.
This was all home cooked food, lovingly prepared and beautifully presented.
And the price ? 8 Euros for each adult. What a bargain ?

Does anyone else out there have any other great breakfast experiences ?
