At Bertha’s Restaurant, breakfast is not rushed, trimmed down, or overthought. It’s generous, familiar, and clearly built for mornings that deserve a proper start.
The breakfast menu reads like a greatest-hits list of comfort favourites, with something for every appetite.
For those who like to keep things simple, eggs on toast or a classic Sailor’s Breakfast deliver exactly what they promise. Well-cooked eggs, good bread, and no unnecessary extras. It’s the kind of plate that pairs perfectly with strong coffee and a slow morning.
- There’s also plenty for diners who enjoy a little indulgence. French toast with maple syrup feels like a weekend treat, while the bacon and egg roll is made for mornings that need something hearty but handheld. The classic breakfast adds crispy bacon and grilled tomato to the mix, striking a balance between comfort and value.
Bertha’s leans confidently into bigger breakfasts too. The Captain’s Breakfast, Farmer’s Breakfast, and Full Breakfast arrive loaded with eggs, bacon, sausages, mushrooms, tomatoes, and sides that leave no doubt about portion size. These are plates meant to fuel long days, coastal walks, or lingering conversations at the table.
Vegetarian and lighter options are thoughtfully included. Avo on toast, the health breakfast with muesli and fruit, and a well-filled vegetarian breakfast make sure no one feels left out. Even the omelette section encourages customisation, letting guests build their own ideal combination.
What ties the menu together is its easy, welcoming feel. Bertha’s doesn’t try to reinvent breakfast. Instead, it focuses on doing the basics properly, serving food that feels satisfying, familiar, and well priced in a setting that invites people to stay a little longer. It’s breakfast the way it should be. Relaxed, generous, and always worth the early alarm.
