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 here at the inn; 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...

     Banana Pineapple "Cairns" with Cinnamon Cream and Bruleed Turbinado SugarAs requested by Gourmet Magazine, Egg Roulade filled with Sauteed Leeks, Prosciutto and Parmesan served with Asparagus Spears, Parmesan Roasted Potato Wedges and a Chive Horseradish Sour CreamBaked Crepes with Figs, Brie and Pears served with a Warm Pear Coulis and Chopped HazelnutsEgg Souffle wrapped in Wonton with Baby Spinach and Sauteed Butternut Squash

The majority of our savory entrees are prepared without the use of breakfast meats while our sweet batter based entrees focus on interesting combinations of fresh fruits. We do offer breakfast meats as a side pairing most days. We enjoy being creative by using fresh vegetables, local cheeses, fresh berries, local fruit and organic produce at its seasonal best. We also use canola oil when we sauté or grill our fresh vegetables. We try not to repeat any menu item during any guest's stay (unless requested, of course). We also plan our menu based on the fruits and vegetables that are not only in season, but that look the freshest. This means we plan what we will be serving just days before your arrival. And, to please those with a savory or sweet tooth, we offer the choice of a sweet or savory entree each day during high season and selected mornings during low and mid season.

Our style reflects the use of simple, fresh ingredients

prepared with a touch of sophistication.

We leisurely serve breakfast from 8am to 9am in our dining room accented with fresh flowers, coordinating and colorful linens, contemporary china and fine flatware. Although, many guests prefer to enjoy breakfast on our wrap-around porch overlooking the harbor - the crisp ocean air invigorates the palate. The choice is yours. And, we are all about choice!

For early risers, we have a self-serve buffet for our guests offering at 7am:

  • Homemade "Kingsleigh Krunch" Special Recipe All Natural Granola with Vanilla Yogurt or
  • Fresh baked Muffins, our popular Blueberry Cream Scones (as featured on Cooking.com), Cinnamon Buns, Croissants with local jams, Bagels or Bryan's English Muffin Toasting Bread
  • And a variety of teas (herbal and decaf), Lavazza Espresso beans from Italy and, of course, our own Kingsleigh Blend of Coffee and Decaf.
