Malmaison

Eats with views across the city

Malmaison is one of the restaurants within Hotel Hankyu International. As part of our stay at the hotel, breakfast was included here. It's a "set" style breakfast where you get three different options. One was an eggs benedict meal (with various sides), one was an omelet and bacon meal (again with sides), and the one I chose was the natural breakfast. It came with your choice of toast/croissant/danish, granola, various fruits, yogurt, salad, soup, coffee and juice. I don't know if I'd have necessarily had breakfast here if it wasn't included in the room rate, since I was staying here with my daughter and it wasn't the most kid friendly place (juice in wine glasses, for instance!). However, it will go down as a special, memorable experience for us. The views are lovely and the surroundings are charming - you do feel a bit like you've been transported to France. I didn't have dinner here but as the name of the restaurant may suggest it's French cuisine and apparently has a pretty good reputation. Staff were very attentive! Some of them spoke fluent English.
