What’s for Breakfast in the Smoky Mountains?
Since breakfast is half of why you come to our Waynesville, North Carolina bed and breakfast, we thought you might enjoy a sneak preview of some of our special dishes.
Our three-course, gourmet breakfasts consistently get great reviews from our guests. A typical breakfast will start with the first course of muffin, scone, biscuit or tea bread (all from our From Scratch Kitchen!), served with a course of fruit dish (depending on what’s in season). Our favorite fruit dishes are parfaits with layers of fresh fresh fruit and a blend of vanilla yogurt, oatmeal, or granola, and slivered almonds. All served with the main fare, be it sweet or savory! A guest favorite, Belgian waffles almost look too pretty to eat! We highly recommend taking a quick picture and then devouring this fruity, not-too-sweet morning treat or one of our crustless quiche servings, which you will also want to take a quick pic of! But, we must tell you that you will be taking pictures of each of your scrumptious and beautifully presented break fasts.
Orange pecan french toast is yet another of Brookside’s sweet breakfasts that is sure to please. The blend of citrus and nutty flavors makes for a surprising taste sensation.
Some of our breakfast entrees are more on the savory side. Our kitchen, but mostly we whip up incredible dishes like egg souffle, individual skillets with eggs and such, sausage casserole or perhaps a southwest chicken frittata. One thing is certain, you’ll not go away from the breakfast table hungry!
We serve our three-course, gourmet breakfast at 9:00 AM. We offer outdoor dining on our back patio overlooking the Smoky Mountains (weather permitting). Available by request with 48 hours notice.
Brown bag breakfast for those on the go! Leaving extra early to start your Smoky Mountain adventure? No problem! Your breakfast will be on the front desk as you leave, or on your table, along with a to-go cup of coffee to help kick-start your day. (Please let us know 24hrs in advance.)
We often have special dietary needs or restrictions requested by our guests. Some examples of diets that we can accommodate are:
- Diabetic
- Gluten-free
- Lactose intolerant
- Low fat
- Low sugar
- Vegetarian
- Vegan
If you don’t see your special diet listed here, please be sure to ask! We love the challenge of making a fabulous breakfast no matter what your special needs are. Please provide us with at least 48 hours notice for special dietary requests, outdoor patio dining or brown bag breakfasts. Breakfast is NOT mandatory. Some folks just want to sleep in and don’t want our breakfast. That’s OK, too! Just let us know at least 48 hours in advance and we can make any of the above arrangements for you regarding breakfast.
Enjoy a unique dining experience each morning at Brookside Mountain Mist Inn. Our dining room has individual tables that offer a private, romantic breakfast for two. If you are traveling with a group, our tables can be enlarged or combined to allow for family-style dining. No matter where you sit, you’re sure to enjoy a fabulous view of the Smoky Mountains through the huge plate-glass window.
You’ll also be entertained by the antics of our squirrel and chipmunk families feeding and frolicking in the gardens just outside the dining room window. Our strategically placed bird feeders allow you to catch all the action each morning as the birds vie for time in the feeders. You’re sure to see a wide variety of birds, such as Bluejays, Cardinals, Robins, Sparrows, Doves, Finches and, of course, the Hummingbirds.
Start each morning with a freshly brewed cup of coffee, available in our dining room by 7 AM. Sit by the fire on a cold, crisp morning sipping hot coffee and reading the morning paper. On warmer days, enjoy your coffee and paper out on the back patio overlooking the mountains. You’ll have a front row seat to the bird symphony that takes place each morning and enjoy the fresh mountain air.
