Guests at 'O Lagar de Jesús' have expressed mixed feelings about the breakfast offerings. While breakfast is included in the stay, many found it to be quite basic and not substantial enough to fuel a morning of activities, especially for those embarking on early morning pilgrimages. Common feedback highlighted that the meal typically consisted of simple items like toast with jam, coffee and occasionally a piece of cake or some cereal bars. There were suggestions for more variety, such as adding muesli, yogurt and traditional bread.
Timing was also a concern with breakfast starting after 8 AM, which many found inconvenient given the early departures common among guests. Additionally, there were instances where guests reported insufficient quantities and a lack of necessities like milk for coffee or enough knives for spreading butter.
However, there were positive notes regarding the organization of the breakfast and the attentiveness of staff members like Paulo. Early risers were at times able to find hot coffee or tea and a croissant available at 6:00 AM. For those preferring to prepare their own breakfasts, the option was appreciated, allowing for an earlier start. Despite the generally modest offerings, the inclusion of breakfast is noted, although many guests felt it did not meet expectations for the price.
