Early on a chilly spring morning, what could be better than settling yourself in front of a cozy fireplace for a delicious, generously portioned, very fresh Eichardt's breakfast? Come early enough and you'll likely have a peaceful, relaxing, rather private time to enjoy the wonderful food, charming atmosphere and friendly, attentive service. That's how it went for us. What a great way to start the day in Queenstown!
We came here twice in four days, the other two taking us too far afield to manage it, or we could have been new "best friends" with the smiling, personable staff. The egg dishes, besides warming us, were very well prepared, very fresh and tasty, and filling enough for us to skip lunch entirely. We loved the warm, well-designed interior and the bright exterior views of bay and mountains through the front window.
I've posted some pictures of our mouthwatering breakfasts: Eggs Benedict with Spinach, Spicy Chorizo Hash, Havoc Free-Range Bacon with Poached Eggs, and absolutely the best Bloody Marys you'll find hereabouts.
But it's the total package that appeals: great food, ambience, and service, in a fine old but pleasantly updated building delightfully located right on the waterfront.
#1 breakfast stop in Queenstown IMHO. Highly recommended.
