The Gourmet Grid – Breakfast Special
Each issue we will be taking you on a gastronomic journey along the coast stopping on the way at our top picks for each culinary style or dish.
This month we decided to start as we mean to go on and tackle the coast’s finest breakfasts! As they say, all happiness depends on a leisurely breakfast, so what are you waiting for?
Manuka
In Brief… Manuka focuses on offering clean, healthy and wholesome food the way it was intended by nature, free from refined sugars, additives and chemicals. Choose from a selection of eggs, we particularly like their Indulgent Eggs; two poached eggs served on a toasted spelt croissant with homemade hollandaise sauce. Add salmon, avocado or acorn fed pork bacon if you are extra hungry.
Good To Know… Manuka offers a vast range of vegetarian and plant based dishes, they want to show you that plant based food never needs to be boring or tasteless and that, on the contrary, nature provides a huge variety of flavour, colour and texture to satisfy everybody’s palette. Their range of pressed juices are a great accompaniment to breakfast, try the Super Detox packed with apple, ginger, spinach, avocado and pineapple or the Skin Glow Superfood Smoothie; marine collagen and vitamin C delicately sweetened with mixed berries and coconut probiotic yogurt.
Pan y Mermelada
In Brief… A top choice for American themed breakfasts accompanied by Illy coffee and maybe even finished off with one of their mouth-watering freshly baked cakes. They prepare North American style breakfasts every day with big portions and an Instagram-worthy appearance. Choose from Breakfast Burritos with Scrambled Eggs, Bagels or their Big Texas; crispy potato rostis or a toasted English muffin topped with bacon, two soft poached eggs, hollandaise sauce and chives.
Good To Know… It’s not all naughty treats, their healthy options include Homemade Granola with Greek Yogurt, Fresh Fruit and Jam, fresh Fruit Bowls or Hot Oatmeal plus their Breadless Benedict is a good low carb option.
La Sala
In Brief… La Sala is open for breakfast 7 days a week offering everything from Smashed Avocado with Poached Eggs to American Pancakes and the traditional Full English. They also have a great Full Vegan Breakfast packed with Vegan Bacon, Beyond Vegan Sausage, Baked Beans, Grilled Tomato, Hash browns and Mushrooms with Scrambled Tofu.
Good To Know… Every weekend try their Bottomless Brunch. From 10am – 2pm enjoy a two course fabulous Bottomless Brunch Menu accompanied by free-flowing Bucks Fizz or orange juice, for two hours for just 28.95€, you can even upgrade to champagne for an extra 10€. To start, enjoy fresh baked croissants and seasonal fresh fruit to share before tucking into the main event. Choose from their famous Full English, Smoked Salmon with Scrambled Eggs or the decedent American Pancakes.
Ground
In Brief… Choose from breakfast bowls and organic eggs to toasts and pancakes. Try the Burrata, Raf Tomato and Rocket on homemade organic sourdough toast with pine nuts, fresh basic and extra virgin olive oil or the Avocado Benedict; baked half avocado stuffed with organic poached egg, crispy organic quinoa, tahini dressing, and miso Hollandaise sauce.
Good To Know… Their coffee is 100% Arabica from sustainable and traceable sources and is craft roasted in small batches in Ibiza; choose from their Breathe Blend or the Mexican Organic Decaffeinated Single Origin with notes of Apricot and Dark Chocolate. If you prefer something juicer their smoothies and power shots are worth a try. Opt for the Tumeric and Cinnamon Power Shot to start your day with a bang or why not have a whole fresh coconut!
Yanx
In Brief… Founded in 1997 and designed by Americans, Yanx offers delicious home prepared American cuisine. So, ‘How do you like your eggs in the morning?’ whatever way, Yanx have got you covered.
Good To Know… You won’t leave hungry with their triple choices… The Roadrunner; a treble stack breakfast sandwich of bacon, egg, cheese and tomato or treat yourself to their Trailblazer, three famous buttermilk pancakes served with Canadian maple syrup. (Add their Banana and Strawberry pot for a fruity twist.)
