Breakfast at Applegate
As the sun rises over the Berkshire Hills that surround our estate, the aroma of coffee brewing and fresh baked muffins and bread awaken you. For the early risers, coffee is available in our guest pantry from 7:00 AM. Enjoy the morning newspaper and anticipate your candlelit breakfast served at your convenience between 8:00 to 10:00 AM. We are members of Berkshire Grown and try to support our local farmers by cooking with local ingredients. Herbs and summer vegetables are grown in our garden.
Breakfast is served in our formal dining room. Each table is set with crystal, Wedgewood china and silver. Candlelight and classical music enhances the relaxed atmosphere. Choose to sit as a twosome or join others at a table for six. Your breakfast will begin with freshly squeezed orange juice and a fruit course. Coffee, tea and muffins/breads will also be served at your table.
Decisions at the buffet are yours. Choose from two hot entrees, cheese of the day, vegetables, local bread and hard boiled eggs. For light eaters a small buffet is available with fruit, cereal and yogurt. On Sunday a grand bagel buffet is served with smoked fish, cream cheese, bagels, blueberry buckle and one of our signature dishes.
Dietary restrictions are no problem. Just let us know when you make your reservation and we will be happy to accommodate your needs.
