Tuck into the comfort of Bacon Rules; a plate of two eggs of your choice, maple-glazed bacon, smoked belly bacon, bacon sausage, short cut bacon, and even bacon jam. For those who love to stay healthy for breakfast, the Complicated Avocado comprising of a sourdough topped with smashed avocado, beetroot feta goat cheese puree, and poached egg will still certainly perk you right up.
