We are looking for a good place to have breakfast in Portsmouth, or Kittery, Maine. Any suggestions??????
Breakfast in PortsmouthHi Ctyankeegirl,
We really like the ';Country View'; Restaurant in Greenland, it%26#39;s located right on Portsmouth Ave. not too far from Portsmouth at all. In fact it%26#39;s probably one of the only places we like for breakfast these days. It gets crowded because it%26#39;s really good~
It%26#39;s been voted The Best Breakfast on the Sea Coast for two years in a row. It has the real Belgian Waffles with Fruit. Pumpkin Pancakes or The Wood Cutters Special: Steak, two eggs, home fries, beans and toast, plus breakfast is served all day, so you don%26#39;t have to rush to get there. It%26#39;s open at night too now from Tuesday to Saturday. Look for it, it%26#39;s really good~
Country View Restaurant ? Route 33 (692 Portsmouth Ave.) Greenland, NH ? (603) 431-7426
I worked with a lot of people from Kittery and York and guess where a lot of them go for breakfast or lunch and it was highly recommended quite a bit. It%26#39;s at the York Hospital~so one day we tried it there for breakfast and it was out of this world. It%26#39;s right off of Rte 1 just past the Kittery Outlets a way, you%26#39;ll see the little sign for the York Hospital and York Village. That%26#39;s where you take the right for this , plus it%26#39;s open to the public, so don%26#39;t think it%26#39;s ';hospital food'; or anything because it wasn%26#39;t, it was absolutely wonderful there. The atmosphere as well as the incredible cuisine, you%26#39;ll be surprised. You can read about it here to see what you think:
';York Hospital%26#39;s award winning Dining Service Team offers a variety of delicious foods to tempt even the most fickle palette. Our patients, visitors and staff enjoy, among other things, lobster rolls, roast sirloin dinners, homemade breads, ';the best seafood chowder in town';, gourmet coffee and decadent desserts. The hospital is legend in the community for its fine cuisine.
Also Home meal delivery is available to the community Monday through Friday within the hospital%26#39;s service area. Home delivery orders should be placed by 9 am the same day.
Just dial 207 351-3466 to hear the most up-to-date menu choices available....
Other than that, there%26#39;s a lot of little places right in Portsmouth, one really really good place that we love is the Portsmouth Gas Light Restaurant, it%26#39;s located right on Market St. in Portsmouth. They have weekend breakfasts that are terrific, you could see if you can get in the door here, it%26#39;s pretty popular!

Breakfast is served in the dining room at the Wentworth By The Sea Marriott Hotel and Spa located at 588 Wentworth Road in New Castle, NH. It%26#39;s a pretty scenic drive from Portsmouth along Rte 1-B heading south to this stunning Resort.
The Cafe Espresso located on Islington St. in Portsmouth is another gem that you could see about, it%26#39;s very good here.
Good luck, I think you have a lot of choices on the seacoast for breakfast, you won%26#39;t have any trouble, the thing is? They get crowded on weekend mornings, so plan accordingly.
One last site to check out that%26#39;s great is this:

Breakfast in Portsmouth
Dear NoMo1,
Thanks for all the great suggestions. I%26#39;m sure we will try one of them on the way up this year and I save the others for future trips.

I like breakfast at the Friendly Toast. It%26#39;s a unique restaurant decorated in 50%26#39;s and 60%26#39;s kitsch. The food is full of unique flavor cominations that somehow work really well. There is usually a line out the door so get there early.
The Golden Egg is also a great restaurant for breakfast- always busy here as well on the weekends. The food is more traditional than at the Friendly Toast, but it%26#39;s really good!
I haven%26#39;t lived in the area for a few years, but these places are classics, so I%26#39;m sure they%26#39;re still around!
I%26#39;ve heard the the Friendly Toast is very good. Thank you. What is so different about the place - as in the staff all have tatoos? Anyone know????
I%26#39;ve lived in Portsmouth for over 25 years and here%26#39;s a good breakdown of breakfast places to try:
The Golden Egg
960 Sagamore Ave
Portsmouth, NH 03801
Great breakfasts, the fluffiest omelets in the seacoast. A little above average in price, but well worth it. Weekends have long lines, so plan on getting there before 8am or 11am. If you can wait, the line moves at a good pace. What to try- any of their fluffy omelets.
The Country View
www.nedine.com/CountryView.htm
Rt 33 Greenland, NH 03840
Good breakfast and very reasonably priced. However, I feel the quality has gone done (just a little) the past year. They recently started serving dinner which I heard was good. Same with the lines- get there early or plan for a little wait. What to get- CVS- Country View Special, you get a lot for a little ($)!
Cafe Espresso
seacoasteats.com/cafe_espresso/breakfastmenu…
800 Islington Plaza
Portsmouth, NH 03801
Solid and consistent breakfasts! The owner, Dave, is very friendly and his menu is also reasonably priced. Lines are here too! What to try- Cafe Bene. Mmmm!
Isis
106 Penhallow St.
Portsmouth, NH 03801
A little more upscale and pricier...however, very tasty! I tried their Cajun Eggs Benedict w/ crawfish- very good. No waiting here. What to try- FRENCH TOAST! Melts in your mouth.
Abercrombie %26amp; Finch
www.abercrombieandfinch.com/menu.php?menu=Sunday+Breakfast+Brunch
219 Lafayette Rd.
North Hampton, NH 03862
Right on Route 1, this is a great deal if you bring your appetite on a Sunday morning. The wait isn%26#39;t bad at all, but for $9.95- you get a lot of good eats. What to try- obviously, their Sunday Buffet.
Old Salt

490 Lafayette Road
Hampton, NH 03842
All I have to say is, WOW! It is a little more than the Abercrombie %26amp; Finch Sunday Buffet. But bring your ';A'; game appetite is this place has something for everyone. For $14.95, this Sunday Brunch Buffet also has a tall chocolate fountain. With breakfast %26amp; lunch items in the buffet, this is a true Sunday Brunch! There is a good crowd, but go right to the bar to grab a seat without waiting. What to try- do I have to ask?
With so many restaurants along the seacoast, these are the ones I frequently visit.
Good luck and please email me if you have any questions:

Thank you so very much for taking the time to give us all of these great suggestions. I just love this forum!
Friendly Toast is fun and different. It is not your typical breakfast place in the sense of their decor and atmosphere. The menu is very unique because they have creations that we all think about putting together. It%26#39;s also a hot spot for late nighters since they are open 24hrs on Fri and Sat.

Great thread. I%26#39;ll have to give the dining room at York Hospital a try, if for no other reason than the curiosity factor. Maybe I%26#39;ll be able to squeeze in a burger before I schedule my next bypass.
While many of the posts here are great!..., One long time icon has been left out that I feel I need to mention....Geno%26#39;s. Located on the waterfront across from Strawberry bank, it%26#39;s been family owned for many decades and it has a ...shall we say...unique charactor to it. It%26#39;s a locals place without a doubt...but colorful and good food. Basic eggs, bagels, etc.....(Lunch brings trhe best lobster roll in town!) But if you don%26#39;t opt for the deck and stay inside, you will hear the locals debating politics, local and national....always an experience.......and worth a visit!
Also...The Friendly Toast...Such a hoot! Love the place! The menu is very inclusive. Everything from all veggie to an all out meat feast! The people who work there are great...the atmosphere is a bit kitschy/funky....Alot of people find it charming as do I. Plus the food is to die for!
Enjoy!!!
