I’m generally not precious about what I eat but I’m not a fan of breakfast buffets. I like freshly cooked breakfast classics like omelette, porridge, hot kippers, eggs benedict, etc. Really good coffee and first class fruit juice are absolute prerequisites.

Personally, I really enjoyed my last breakfast at the Centurion lounge but it does not match your requirements, at least not fully.

The hot options are not cooked-to-order. Instead, they put out small plates with individual servings and let those sit on a hot surface until someone takes them. Decent quality stuff but again, not made-to-order.

In terms of what to expect: Several options seemed inspired by Levantine cuisine. There was a shakshuka, a vegan hash with chickpeas and potatoes, and kubalah bread served with different labnehs (one with date molasses, one with sumac and tomato). They’ve got more standard fare as well, during my visit: Pulled ham hock with poached eggs and truffled hollandaise, mushrooms braised in herbs, fruit plates, whole fruits, bircher musli, greek yoghurt with granola, other yoghurt, and a kale and red quinoa salad.

Their self-serve coffee was decidedly average. If I am not mistaken, there is no barista. I believe there is no dedicated bartender before 10 in the morning. Staff will ask around and go behind the bar in an ad-hoc fashion when someone wants a mimosa or something.

Can’t really compare the Centurion to the F lounges in T3 as I usually only get to use the Oneworld business lounges…
