Esterel at the Sofitel Hotel

Mornings at Esterel at the Sofital Hotel have a distinctly French touch, at the breakfast buffet that welcomes guests and locals alike. For $29, there's a wealth of tasty treats to be had. Start with French press Lavazza coffee, then choose from a wide assortment of foods from the "Breakfast Table." Start with a made-to-order omelet and then add pork or turkey bacon, homemade potatoes and more. Go French with a charcuterie platter of cured meats and cheeses, add in some smoked salmon and top it all off with a French pastry or two and you'll be full way past lunchtime. Be sure to choose a comfortable table out on the patio, where the famous California sun is usually keeping things warm and comfortable, even in the middle of the winter.
