On the first day, I stayed at Hotel Monterey Edelhof Sapporo in Sapporo city. I stayed in a classic and cute room with a view of the Sapporo TV Tower. I enjoyed the separate fee 14th floor spa hot spring with a sauna and had a breakfast buffet. The hotel is often used for wedding receptions, and there were many reservations for that. The breakfast buffet was simple but included local dishes and seafood bowls, as well as a live kitchen. The buffet area was spacious, allowing for a relaxed breakfast. The location is convenient for sightseeing, with Sapporo TV Tower and the Sosei River nearby.

This is a review of the breakfast at the Hotel Monterey Edelhof Sapporo where I stayed. The breakfast was served in a banquet hall, not a restaurant. Every morning, the floor number where the venue was located was displayed in the elevator, either on the 12th or 13th floor. The menu varied each day, with options like seafood bowl, omurice, different types of salted fish roe, curry, desserts, and soba. The soft-serve ice cream for dessert was particularly delicious. Being in a hotel, the food was naturally tasty. I especially enjoyed the sweet shrimp salted fish roe. Some rooms may be far from the dining area, so it's best to go early.

I had breakfast. When it comes to hotel breakfasts, aside from luxury hotels, there is a famous hotel chain that operates nationwide, but the breakfast at this hotel is much better than that. I didn't take any photos because the dining area reflected the guests, but it was impressive as it was using a wedding reception venue.

After a long time, I used the Edelhof banquet course for a dinner party during the pandemic. It feels like the quality of banquet services at hotels has decreased everywhere. I think having a well-prepared main meat dish can improve the overall impression. Interestingly, I felt that the bread was the most delicious, haha.

On August 11, 2019 at 13:00, I went to a banquet hall where there was a welcome drink and a snack corner near the entrance for 18,000 yen. There was about a 30-minute wait. We started with a champagne toast. The dishes included: Salmon antler-style and seared marlin with cream of petit pois and tomato jelly topped with ikura. Foie gras and cheese borovan with cabbage etuve and mushroom fricassee with cassis liquid. Bread and butter. White fish and angel prawn with barley risotto in Americaine sauce and French-style bean vegetables. "Taniguchi Farm" Furano beef red wine stew with truffle-scented vegetable glaze. A heart-shaped dessert and a small gateau with a Japanese taste were served for the newlyweds. All the dishes were delicious. There were performances by the newlyweds and professional musicians, making it a very enjoyable time.

■Visit Date: July 1st - 2nd, 2019■Received Items: Morning Buffet■MEMO I stayed at the hotel from July 1st to 2nd, 2019. There was a little confusion during check-in as I mistakenly confused Montre and the hotel... It's important to double-check the hotel name. I learned for the first time that there are two Montre hotels in Sapporo. The morning buffet is served in a dedicated venue. With large windows that let in the morning sun, it's a delightful way to start the day with a sense of openness. I received a reservation card for my seat and secured a spot early. The buffet menu is extensive, making it hard to choose. It's fun to carefully select what to eat. You can also have omelets made right in front of you. I had mine with demiglace sauce, and it was delicious. Just the omelet alone was worth it. The salad selection was plentiful, and I enjoyed it thoroughly. For soup, I had Ishikari Nabe, a hotpot dish with fish balls and miso, a delightful combination! The bread was also tasty, and I savored the hotel's morning while looking out at the view. ■Blog: https://ay-style.net/?p=39002

On the second day of a one-night, two-day trip to Sapporo, breakfast was at the hotel buffet. Although it's usually preferred to try local eateries while traveling, my friend insisted on having the salmon roe from the buffet, so we opted for a breakfast-included plan. The breakfast venue was the Ruserna Hall on the 12th floor, which was surprisingly crowded with guests around 7:15 a.m. We managed to find a table at the bride and groom's platform. The buffet offered a variety of dishes made with Hokkaido ingredients, and it was more sophisticated than the free breakfast at hotels in Yamanashi that I often visit. The dishes I tried included salted salmon, omelette (made with eggs from Eiwa), spicy cod roe, Hokkaido bacon (cut into wooden sticks), zangi (with mountain wasabi), Tokachi sweet potato, rice (from Rankoshi Town), Ishikari pot-style miso soup (with salmon fish cakes), croissant, and coffee. Although my friend didn't find the salmon roe he was looking for, overall, the breakfast was delicious. Personally, I think a warm onigiri from "Arinkoka" Seicomart in Sapporo would have been enough for breakfast.

I was one of the guests of honor at the banquet in the hotel, so I didn't have time to thoroughly enjoy the food. The photos are also quite incomplete. Please forgive me! We drank, talked, expressed gratitude, watched performances... and drank again. In between, I tried various dishes, but there wasn't anything that stood out... well, maybe there was one, but I can't remember what it was... haha. The photos are scattered, so I can't recall. It was a very enjoyable and grateful banquet. Thank you for the meal! (^o^)

At Hotel Monterey Edelhof Sapporo, there is a breakfast buffet with many Hokkaido specialties such as potatoes, butter, cream, and other locally sourced ingredients. They offer Soft Katsugen, Hokkaido chicken breast onion salt zangi, Ishikari hot pot, Tokachi red beans, and Hokkaido beef fillet beef curry. Soft Katsugen is a local probiotic drink similar to Yakult but tastes like mixed juice, easy to drink and good for your health. The beef curry is mildly spicy, sweet, flavorful, and filled with chunks of meat. The omelette is cooked in front of you with butter and cream, fluffy and soft, with a choice of 4 different sauces. I chose the omelette curry that day. Breakfast at a travel destination always seems more enjoyable, doesn't it? Thank you for the meal!

I stayed in Sapporo for one night on a regular day. When choosing accommodation, I usually go for the cheapest option, but this time I chose this place because various conditions overlapped and it was cheaper. The location is convenient, as it is located in the center of Sapporo, about a 7-minute walk from JR Sapporo Station, and a 2-minute walk from the Sapporo Station on the Namboku Line and Toho Line. The hotel is built on the site of the Hokkaido Forestry Bureau, and the garden is lush with trees. The interior of the facility is designed with a Vienna theme from the late 19th century, which creates a unique atmosphere. The security is top-notch, with elevators that automatically stop at your room floor when you scan your room key card. Additionally, each room is equipped with a free rental smartphone that can be used for calls, internet access, and provides abundant tourist information, making it a handy guide for travelers. The accommodation plan I chose this time includes a voucher for the natural hot spring bath at the Carlovy Bali Spa on the 14th floor. The spa has jet baths, saunas, outdoor baths, and a popular rock bath for women. Although it was said that you can enjoy a panoramic view of Sapporo's night view, it wasn't as impressive as expected. Breakfast is served in the Ruserna Hall on the 12th floor, offering a buffet with over 60 Japanese and Western dishes. The "Hokkaido Corner" is recommended, featuring dishes made with Hokkaido ingredients such as pork bowls, Ishikari hot pots, chicken onion zangi, cream gratin with Hokkaido potatoes and onions, Hokkaido beef curry, and omelets made with eggs from Kamikawa, Hokkaido. There is also a wide selection of popular bread, so you can enjoy a stylish breakfast. However, as I don't usually eat breakfast, I tend to eat the same things at buffets, which is a bit sad for me. As long as there is shoyu and katsuobushi, I'm satisfied with a Hokkaido-style breakfast (laughs). The drink selection also includes Salobetsu milk from Hokkaido, which is well thought out. There are many accommodation options nearby, but if you prioritize proximity to JR Sapporo Station, it might be worth considering this place even if it's a bit more expensive. After breakfast, you can also visit the Nijo Market, which is popular among tourists, within walking distance, so you can enjoy a second round of food tasting. Thank you for the meal.

I would like to express my condolences to those affected by the recent Hokkaido Eastern Iburi earthquake. Today, I will be sharing a review of the breakfast at Hotel Monterey Edelhof Sapporo, where I stayed in Sapporo. The hotel is designed to resemble 19th century Vienna, with "Edelhof" meaning "noble mansion" in German. The hotel has a charming European Art Deco atmosphere. After a late check-in, I went to the spa lounge on the 14th floor, "Spa Lounge Baden," to relax and then went to bed. The next morning, I had breakfast at the Ruserna Hall on the 12th floor, which is open from 7:00 to 10:00 (last order at 9:30). I didn't have high expectations for hotel breakfasts, but I was pleasantly surprised to find a variety of dishes made with Hokkaido ingredients. I chose dishes like cold corn potage, the hotel's special pork soup made with Hokkaido pork, and soy sauce-marinated salmon roe, all of which allowed me to experience the flavors of Hokkaido. While the overall breakfast was delicious, the standout dish for me was the beef tendon curry with chunks of beef tendon. I may have eaten a bit too much for breakfast, so I went for a walk around Hokkaido University to burn off some calories before lunch. "Thank you for the meal."

Visited a morning buffet without accommodation. The price was 2,500 yen per adult. They offer a mix of Japanese and Western dishes. The mini seafood bowl was popular. They make omelettes to order, with a choice of mushroom demiglace sauce, tomato sauce, or curry sauce. The variety of bread can be warmed up in a Balmuda toaster. The morning buffet at Monterey never disappoints, with a wide selection and consistent quality. However, I find myself not eating as much variety as before, perhaps due to my age.

I was invited, attended, and ate at a wedding reception. I didn't have high expectations for the food, more like hoping it would be good as a snack with alcohol. The menu didn't look promising. It started with something like a gratin wrapped in pastry and baked, followed by a mix of cream soup, fish with some seasoning, meat, mixed rice, and miso soup. The soup tasted like something you can buy at a 100-yen store, the fish was nicely presented but average in taste, the meat was decent quality but lacked flavor in the sauce, and the rice and miso soup felt out of place among the Western dishes. Overall, the food was very ordinary. I understand that they had to cater to a large number of guests within a set time frame, so I appreciate the effort put in by the kitchen staff. But in terms of taste... it was just okay. Considering the circumstances, I did not take any pictures.

At a wedding reception.

Morning buffet was very satisfying!

It's not the hotel's fault! The Montre Edelhoff Beer Garden is closing today. I have tickets, so I have to go! It's so cold! Customers are wrapping tablecloths around themselves that they borrowed from the hotel restaurant while drinking beer... I am too (crying). The female staff are wearing T-shirts and shorts... it's torture, right? I quickly finished the appetizers and left after an hour. I brought a winter jacket from work and wrapped a tablecloth around my waist, shivering while drinking beer and enjoying hot corn soup! This kind of beer garden will be a memorable experience (>_<)
