River Tavern Launches Breakfast

Looking for an excellent spot for a power breakfast or a morning catch-up with a friend? River Tavern has just introduced breakfast to its offerings! Grabbing lunch isn’t easy for a working girl, but breakfast doesn’t split the day, so I hurried over with an old friend.
The menu is just what you’d expect from RT. Offerings include bacon and eggs, of course, but everything else is mouthwateringly interesting, and I was hard-pressed to choose! I finally settled on creamy heirloom corn grits with poached eggs, smoked ham hash, sea island red peas, and cheddar cream, plus a drizzle of hot sauce hit all flavors in one dish: smoky, salty, and slightly spicy. My friend ordered smoked salmon avocado toast with poached eggs and orange beurre blanc and managed to clean her plate!
Also on offer are buckwheat crepes, freshly baked biscuits with eggs and homemade sausage, breakfast ramen, blueberry pancakes, and, for lighter eaters, smoothies and yogurt parfaits.
Chester is known for its wealth of fantastic restaurants, but not so much for coffee, and a cappuccino by High Steet Roasting was a robust eye-opener. This morning feast kept me going ’til dinner.
Portions are large, service is attentive, and the vibe in the morning is sunny and calm. I could easily see myself setting up my laptop and lingering here.
Hours 8 – 11:30am
