We'll be in GA in late May staying just off Calle Orden Dorico. We'll need somewhere to go for an English breakfast on our first morning. We'll have a car, but are there any good places within walking distance?....or a short drive?
All recommendations welcome!
Cheers
Davy !!!

This isn't Molly Malone's? Someone seriously opened another Molly? Shall we start another round of "What was is before / last month"? :)
It's probably a spell check automatic change not a new bar.

Just desserts then became Not just desserts then became Zest who i believe still do english breakfast, they were voted best brrekkie in GA for many years. Is clock and bottle the next door to the Sandcastle restaurantCan't see them winning again without staff that can cook as heard all of the qualified cooks were finished up when Not Just Desserts closed.

Looked through the Grand Alacant magazine and there are lots of places that do breakfast.

I suppose it depends on what you mean by early, to be fair most people on holiday are probably not looking much before 9 for brekkies especially if they have had a good night out beforehand so places that open at 9.30 or 10.00 will get custom ok, however I think La Piedra are on the go from 8.00 if you want an earlier than most start for any reason. Always remember that Spain is geared a bit differently as regards meal times.

Lee and Brett were owners of Just Desserts and now run Zest. Lee and Steve and Pam are still cooking the same great breakfasts they cooked at Not Just Desserts! Food still the same as before. Excellent!
I know who is working there but was told by a former employee that none of the staff having a catering qualification. I can sew a few items but I don't confess to be a fashion designer.

1) Availability immediately upon landing, preferably in the airport itself (if before 4pm obviously)
2) Maximum price must be below €2.83 (adjusted for inflation, and also taking into account a yawningly long diatribe about exchange rates, which could affect the price by up to 0.3 pennies)
3) Establishment must have traded under the same name for more than three months (sadly ruling out anywhere in Gran Alacant)
4) Of course the chef must have either one Michelin star, or minimum a catering certificate he can show me before I dine.
5) Ability to swap a fried tomato for another sausage is a advantage

Zest will do for me!
BTW, I'll be buying some bread (butter) and bacon or sausage whilst there for the other days. Where's best to buy that from?
Cheers
