Woke up to a rumbling stomach? Check out these places to satiate your breakfast needs.

Madeleine

Madeleine took the city by storm with its decadent dessert selection and wide range of entrées. But nothing compares to its breakfast options. From the eggs benedict to the Nutella-stuffed French toast, everything is absolutely scrumptious.

Tower Kitchen by Pattis France

Pattis France is probably the oldest and most well-known breakfast name in the area. It currently exists as Tower Kitchen while their Corniche branch is being renovated, but that hasn’t stopped its faithful regulars who keep coming back every time, regardless of the other spots popping up, and we don’t blame them.

Aioli

The breakfast selection isn’t extensive, but what they lack in options, they make up for in quality. Make the best of the winter weather and order their blueberry waffles while enjoying the view on their terrace.

Vicoli

New kid on the block Vicoli just rolled out their breakfast menu and boy were we impressed! The menu is full of items that are as amazing as the ornaments and chinoiserie vases decorating the restaurant. Vicoli also has a small terrace area which is great for enjoying that morning coffee.
