Explore New Tastes and Seasonal Ingredients at Breakfast and Brunch
Being a tourist town, Newport has more than its share of traditional breakfast fare. But look a little closer and you'll find creative young chefs all over town preparing innovative and creative dishes for you to enjoy that take their tastes from restaurants all over the world. Sure, you can find traditional breakfast fare, but you can get that anywhere. In Newport, indulge in Portuguese, Irish and west-coast inspired dishes like bangers & mash, california eggs benedict and portuguese sweetbread french toast. For brunch, nothing tops a dish like fresh lobster and seasonal local seafood specialties.
We really like to encourage visitors to try Sunday brunch, since it can really open your eyes to new flavors and tastes, and usually costs a lot less than dinner for some of the same ingredients. If you add in a Sunday drink like a bloody mary you'll also find those are usually less expensive during the day too. What's not to love? So the next time you're in town, make it a plan to do a fun and creative breakfast or brunch.
