Breakfast out

I have eaten breakfast out in a few locations , Sainsburys Café in Bicester , a firm favourite I have visited in Oxford is Browns Café in the covered market. You have a fried bread option as opposed to toast.
Boycott Farm near Stowe School nr Buckingham does breakfasts but if you have more than 4 items you pay for each item.

When ever we were in America we often went to an establishment called Dennys, cheap and all over the country, who had an array of different ways with eggs and the ubiquitous bottomless pot full to the brim with an evil black substance that passes for coffee across the pond.

We used to regularly go out for breakfast at Cafe Rouge, and still sometimes go to Carluccio if we are in town.

My favourite bit in that TV programme about B&Bs is the breakfasts. No matter what time of day I watch the programme I end up really fancying a delicious cooked breakfast and all the trimmings. Breakfast out would be lovely.

Terribull We always source out a Dennys when over there too,I just love the hash browns,here we go for breakfast on a regular basis mainly Sat/Sunday morning we have a few choices on the River Front facing Liverpool so the scenery is quite appealing, cost wise its reasonable and they also have a separate area where your dog can accompany you.

Americans have been enjoying Brunch for years. A real tradition at the weekend, as Rinouchka mentions. Always do it when we stay with the family 'over there'. Had the best brunch/late breakfast in New York a few years ago. Memorable!

Eating breakfast out before going to work seems the normal thing to do in the City area of London. I suppose if you have to commute and get an early train in order to get a seat, it makes sense to then have breakfast on arrival. This also gives you time to unwind from the journey before the pressures of the working day.

Similarly, some will have a meal before going home at the other end of the day. I imagine it depends on how long your working day is and how long your commute. Also those working in worldwide conglomerates can have abnormal working hours, so what you see as breakfast could be their lunch or even dinner

Oh totally agree Swanny . When I worked in The Strand I had to leave home at 0530 to get a seat on the train and more than once had a splendid 0730 breakfast at Simpsons on The Strand.

Not an every day occurrence( usually it was cereal at my desk) because it's a tad pricey but totally worth it for the ambience, food and service.

NanaandGrampy we must give the Elveden Estate cafe a try sometime, as it's not far from us.

Breakfast out is my favourite treat. We've taken to doing it for family birthday celebrations, the children love it. If anyone is visiting Cheddar try the Lion Rock cafe. Beautifully cooked breakfast, efficient and charming staff, real china crockery and tea leaves in the tea pot rather than tea bags. Don't get there often but love it when we do.

The nicest breakfast out that I ever had was in a little cafe/restaurant in a small square in either Ankara or Istanbul. It consisted of bacon and eggs served in the little pan they cooked in, with slices of crusty bread and freshly squeezed orange juice. It was the highlight of my visit to the city (I wish I could remember which one it was). Most likely it was Istanbul.

Like ffinn only when in the USA.
The best ever was on Tilghman, MD at a small restaurant called Two If by Sea, a reference to the signalling used in Boston at a critical point in the Revolutionary War.
The chef, Henry, and his partner had escaped from a prestigious hotel in Manhattan to the country to start their own restaurant and grow their own produce in the back garden.
I had a spinach and mushroom omelette with sauté potatoes with garlic and herbs and it was the best breakfast ever.
I sometimes try to recreate it at home but it's never the same.
However Riverwalk you have given me an idea

We often have breakfast out on Saturday when we go to town for the market . We have cappuccini and croissants , 3 euro for both of us. (and it's the best cappuccini in town)! It's always busy .

Only if we're on holiday

Although sometimes we have brunch if we're out and feeling hungry a bit earlier than lunch-time.

If anyone is visiting Cheddar
We keep meaning to go back - but beware of these idiots if anyone is thinking of going there:

We have several 'chain' restaurants and cafes near us that do an all you can eat breakfast. One that we did start to go to weekly for breakfast is near a lake so we would have breakfast then take a good walk round the lake afterwards. Haven't been since before Christmas as the place has been refurbished. Sometimes I just have egg on toast and sometimes a full English. My younger family do seem to eat out and awful lot as the others have said. I like it once in a while as a treat.

Next time we're up that way Nonna maybe we can grab a coffee... and invite wot I think she lives nearby also.

We don't often go out for breakfast, but were introduced to it by friends who live on Canvey Island. The restaurant was in a building designed by the architect of the Sydney Opera House. It overlooked the Thames estuary and you could watch the big ships sailing to the docks. Memorable!

We usually only have breakfast out on holiday.
I hope you have all added your favourite eateries to your local Gransnet pages and left a review.

It's so difficult to find evening dates to fit everyone that breakfast time is often a good option for a meal and a chat together. When I'm retired I shall certainly breakfast out more often.

Mind you, I will have a cuppa and a biscuit at home before I go.

Once a week on Saturday or Sunday.

To darned expensive and you never know how old the eggs are or how happy the hens. (Country fusspot with own hens )

Love going out for breakfast, but you have reminded me, we haven't done it for a while. Think I will try a Weatherspoons one soon as have never sampled theirs.
