Prix Fixe Breakfast Menu

A prix fixe breakfast menu is always served at Hallauer House B & B. For anyone not familiar with the term prix fixe it simply means a pre-selected menu at a fixed price. The chef plans the foods to be served and the fixed price would be the total cost per person. In other words everyone gets the same food and pays the same price. Here at Hallauer House it means our breakfast menu is pre-selected but the price to everyone is FREE!

Our Prix Fixe Menu

Our menu changes daily but it always includes in season fresh fruit, sweet bread, sweet or savory entree, breakfast meat, juice, coffee, tea, and hot chocolate. For instance today’s menu consisted of a cup of fresh mango with blueberries topped with vanilla yogurt. With that we served a

luscious Cream Scone with a choice of strawberry jam, grape jelly, and Devon-shire Cream. The sweet entree consisted of a Puffed Pancake filled with a decadent cherry sauce and topped off with whipped cream and sliced almonds. With that came two crisp sausage patties basted with Joe’s secret sauce. Coffee, tea, and hot chocolate are the hot beverages of choice. While juice choices are orange, mango, and guava.
