The Art of Breakfast

Spiced Poached Pears served chilled with a Maple Cream and our own Purple Basil Pear Sorbet

We consider breakfast a culinary and creative dining experience and a major focus on what we are about.

It is our opportunity to share with you our appreciation of fine food and its ability to provide us with a harmonious balance of the senses...

The majority of our savory entrees are prepared without the use of breakfast meats (which are offered several days a week as an accompaniment), while our sweet batter based entrees focus on interesting combinations of fresh fruits. We enjoy being creative by using fresh vegetables, local cheeses, fresh berries, local fruit and "just picked" herbs from our garden. We do not repeat any menu item during a guest's stay. And, we offer the choice of a sweet or savory entree each day during high season and most mornings during early and late season.

Our style reflects the use of simple, fresh ingredients

prepared with a touch of sophistication and whimsy.

We leisurely serve breakfast from 8am to 9am in our dining room accented with fresh flowers, crisp linens, contemporary china and fine flatware. Alternatively, many guests prefer to enjoy breakfast on our wrap-around porch overlooking the harbor - accompanied by crisp ocean breezes. The choice is yours. And, we are all about choice at Kingsleigh Inn.

For early risers, we offer a self-serve buffet available by 7:00am

  • Featuring one of the following Freshly Baked Items: Fruit Muffins, Cinnamon Buns, Croissants or Oat and Cocoa Dusted Almond Bars
  • And, a variety of Teas (herbal and decaffeinated), Hot Cocoas, Lavazza Espresso beans from Italy and our own Kingsleigh Blends of Coffee

Breakfast Service begins with the "Breakfast Shot" of the Day:
 

  • A shot of freshly juiced "from the whole fruit or vegetable" with all natural nutrients preserved and no preservatives or additives - an amazing appetite awakening experience. As pictured above, it may be watermelon, pineapple, pear, kiwi or raspberry, celery, carrot, cucumber or beet...purely juice, simply amazing served in a Special "K" crystal shot glass.
