Drew Busby ! Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 The younsgster has a sleepover at the grandparents tonight. Thinking about taking the wife somewhere tomorrow for Sunday breakfast/brunch (what a guy...) Any recommendations ? I know that the big supermarkets are good value but I mean somewhere with a wee touch of class ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that the big supermarkets are good value but I mean somewhere with a wee touch of class ! how classy are you wanting? If a decent pub will do you rather, than a restaurant, "Indigo yard" at the west end do a nice brunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambojohnnyboy Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 I'll be perfectly honest, I've never had breakfast at Ikea but have heard it's ok, have no idea how much it costs. But judging by the comment above, must be dirt cheap, just like the hot dogs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that the big supermarkets are good value but I mean somewhere with a wee touch of class ! Try Porto & Fi down at Newhaven. Newly opened, very good and has the kind of clientele most places can only dream of (i.e. I sometimes grace them with my custom). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Say What Again Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 The Kings Wark on the Shore does a fantastic brunch. Worth phoning first though as it is generally very busy. So much so that the last time the missus and I went we waited over half an hour from being seated to being served. I had no tea left by the time my breakfast arrived It's nice, but not worth a half hour wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drew Busby ! Posted March 9, 2008 Author Share Posted March 9, 2008 Thanks to all for the suggestions, and will try a few of them out over time. At the end of the day, the wife pointed out the bleeding obvious place for us to go, which is Cafe Renroc about 200 yards from our front door. http://www.list.co.uk/place/102881-cafe-renroc/ Had never been to the downstairs area before and it's really an incredibly imaginative place. And it did a bloody good breakfast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
