Breakfast in Carmel at the Cottage Restaurant

"You can pay more for breakfast in Carmel, but you can't get a better breakfast. Our customers like our breakfasts so much we have to serve them for lunch and dinner too." —Nellie Cardinalli

The Cottage Restaurant in Carmel serves breakfast all day every day. We think it's because we offer some of the best omelettes west of Italy, but it could the six styles of Eggs Benedict. Then again, it might the Strawberry, Raspberry, or Blueberry Cakes. Or it might be our hard-working staff, always striving to please use.

Breakfast substitutions welcome

Everything is cooked to order. Sensitive to certain ingredients? Want lox instead of ham on your omelette? No problem. Within reason, we can make adjustments to our dishes so you get what you want. Just let your waiter know. Breakfast features omelettes, waffles, scones, French toast, Kathy Cakes, walnut waffles, crepes and more. Breakfast at the Cottage Restaurant has become a family tradition for many locals and visitors.

Traditional Carmel breakfast, served fresh

All of the breakfast meals served in the Cottage Restaurant are hand-made using the freshest and best ingredients we can find. We shop locally whenever possible, including Carmel Valley and Salinas, for the best produce, eggs, and meats.

We offer traditional Carmel breakfasts including our omelettes and Eggs Benedict. We borrow on our European heritage in the specialty crepes as well as our Italian heritage for the Pannetone French Bread.

Residents and visitors alike choose breakfast at The Cottage Restaurant

Many local Carmel residents come time and again for our breakfast because they never tire of the six styles of Eggs Benedict, the build-your-own omelettes, and the variety of pancakes and waffles we serve for breakfast. Visitors to Carmel keep coming back to the Cottage Restaurant for breakfast for the same reason. There's breakfast for everyone, including the kids, like the Banana Chocolate Chip Cakes.

Breakfast is served all day every day in our Carmel by the Sea breakfast restaurant. Our staff works hard to cook and serve the best breakfast in Carmel, and we hope you enjoy our great meals, served from our family to yours, buon alimento!
