Breakfast at the Aleksander House is a real treat. Served between 8:00 and 10:00 am, it may consist of Belgium Waffles with fresh strawberries and real whipped cream, Grand Marnier French Toast or Dutch Apple Pancakes smothered in slices of carmelized Granny Smith Apples. Or it might include one of out many egg dishes, such as Tomato-Onion Quiche, Croissants au Gratin or Eggs Benedict. The meal begins with fresh orange juice and a choice of cereals or granolas, yogurt and fresh fruit. It may include special fruit dishes, such as Pears Poached in White Zinfindel or Hot Ginger Peaches.

A full breakfast is served daily from 8-10 am. A continental is available between 6-8 am and must be ordered ahead of time. Our dining room is furnished with Queen Anne furnishings, white lace table linens and napkins, Victorian antique silverware, and fine china.
