SEASIDE - Park Hotel Leipzig

5:00 hrs – room service please!
Shortly after five the hotel staff generally begin receiving
orders from business guests in a hurry. Now everything
has to move fast to make sure that guests can enjoy
breakfast in their rooms at their leisure. At 5.30 on the
dot the kitchen door opens and SIDE’s own baker brings
a rich selection of freshly baked bread rolls and various
types of bread, and at around 7.00 hrs the Bagel Bakery
delivers home-made bagels freshly baked by the Bagel
Brothers.
At the same time as the baker makes his delivery the
service staff begin to set the tables, stack their glasses
and fill the various jugs with milk, buttermilk, whey and
freshly squeezed juices of the season. Added to these
there are various types of home-made jam, including
quince, mango and strawberry, a delicious selection
of honeys, various types of muesli, both fresh and
dried fruit, quark and yoghurt. More than 5,900 litres of
milk, 90 kg of butter and over 1000 kg of yoghurt were
consumed in 2010 as part of the SIDE’s very special
breakfast.
6:20 hrs – the final dash to get first-class breakfast
buffet ready
Right at the end, just before breakfast begins, the 18
varieties of raw milk cheese are set out, together with
fresh or smoked fish and an exclusive selection of cold
meats and ham. In order to ensure the freshness and
quality of everything during the entire breakfast period
the kitchen staff regularly clear away the trays, platters
and baskets and fill them with fresh products. Over the
course of the year the amount of food consumed rises to
almost 600 kg of freshly peeled North-Sea shrimps, 2000
kg of the finest cheeses, 1900 kg of ham and almost
10,600 almond crescents.
The friendly service staff are always ready to receive
orders for drinks and to prepare whatever coffee and tea
specialities are requested. If guests ask for particular fruit
juices these are also squeezed fresh by the service staff,
with for example the juice of more than 20,000 sweet
oranges being squeezed into glasses in the year 2010.
From Monday to Friday from 7:00 hrs to 10:00 hrs and at
weekends between 9:00 hrs and 12:00 hrs everything is
especially hectic for the kitchen and service personnel.
This is the time when most guests are having breakfast
and the orders for scrambled egg, omelettes, pancakes
or waffles with maple syrup mount up. To make sure that
no guests have to wait for long the kitchen staff work to
a strict target – all egg dishes must be cooked and served
within five minutes from receipt of the order.
”Behind the scenes things often get hectic and loud, but
it’s a lot of fun and we really appreciate the many compliments
that we receive for our breakfast every day,” is the
unanimous opinion of the kitchen and service teams.
From Monday to Friday breakfast is served from 6:30 hrs
to 11 hrs to anyone, including non-hotel guests, while at
the weekend and on public holidays the SIDE breakfast
buffet is available until 14:00 hrs.
Price: 23,00 € per person / Advanced special rate (in combination with an
overnight stay and against payment in advance): 18,00 € per person
[m]eat49 – the cult event for
Hamburg’s party people.
Every first Tuesday of the month the
[m]eatery hosts [m]eat49 – in the
special atmosphere of the bar and
restaurant guests at the SIDE five-star
design hotel and Hamburg’s cool
party people listen to the sound of
selected live music acts and the
popular sounds of the DJ. The music
ranges from soul, funk and R&B hits
sung by gifted soul divas via a perfect
mix of house music right across to
Brazilian groups who bring that pure
Sugar Loaf Mountain feeling to the
[m]eatery with a mixture of samba,
jazz and choro.
The stresses of everyday routine are
quickly forgotten with a cool cocktail
in your hand accompanied by tasty
mini appetisers from the flying buffet
such as beef tea, tartar, burgers,
slices of beef or New York cheesecake,
and the evening often doesn’t
end until the early hours of the
morning.
With the cocktails, too, quality
comes first. The [m]eatery bartenders
are experts in taking classical cocktails
and then refining them with
original, top-quality ingredients. And
of course the [m]eatery bar team
serves only freshly-squeezed juices. A
real favourite and one which is
unique in Hamburg is the [m]eatery
signature drink – the mint julep, the
Kentucky Derby cult drink made with
lots of fresh mint, Bourbon and
crushed ice.
All this makes [m]eat49 the perfect
combination for lovers of good
meat, fantastic music and stylish
drinks – and of course entrance is
free. For more information please
