"If you want to breakfast like a king – or The King, for that matter – head to this US-inspired cafe, which does a fine line in stacks of pancakes and waffles topped with bacon and maple syrup. Elsewhere, its extensive all-day breakfast menu runs the Stateside gamut from garlic- and cheese-laced grits, via a minute steak with homemade hash and eggs to the "Coney Island", a pulled pork-topped breakfast hotdog. Portions are large and ingredients first-rate."
