Staying true to the name, The

Generous Breakfast here offers a great start for your day as youre presented with a generous
amount of sauted mushrooms, buttery toasted bread, grilled tomatoes, chicken ham or beef
bacon and creamy scrambled eggs. Not overwhelming with flavours as it is naturally seasoned
using salt and pepper, and well-executed. Besides that, judging by the name of the restaurant,
pairing the platter with a cup of cuppa would be ideal. All in all, this is one big breakfast that will
give you a boost for the day.

The seating at the back offers a quieter dining area.
