Mmmm, food. You may have already had lunch, but we’ll guarantee you’ll find room for a belly gurgle once we tell you about one of the nicest breakfasts we’ve had in a long time at the Capitol Hill Mansion in Denver.
We stayed at the B&B last week, and after a superfriendly welcome, an upgraded room and a comfy night, we came down the next day to find this being cooked for us.
French toast, right? No. Crème Brulee French Toast. With bacon and maple syrup. We’re not normally into French toast, but this was the best thing we’ve tasted in a long while. The bread was fat, it was oozing flavor and the bacon was heaven.
Not that we needed anything else, but there was also a sideboard chokka with breakfast cereal, home made cake and biscuits and, joy of joys, a huge platter of fresh fruit – blueberries, melon, grapefruit, orange and the like. We had more vitamin C in one sitting than we’d had in the previous month.
And you know the best thing? It was included in the price of our room ($154, but if you get your act together and book more than an hour ahead which is what we did, you can snag the cheapest room for $114). Also included in the room: a two hour drinking session with the owner every night, when he cracks open local wines and shoots the breeze with you.
Full marks. Although we don’t dare eat French toast again now – it’s unlikely anything will match up to that lot.
