Exquisite Breakfast Variety

“The highlight of my stay at The Thief was definitely the breakfast. It was a buffet style that was on a whole different level than typical self-service experiences. The food was presented beautifully, with a wide range of hot and cold fare. Even with a four-night stay, I didn't get to try everything on offer, and I was particularly impressed with the gluten and dairy-free options available.” view full review
