One of Chester’s longest established eateries located in the city centre is going to tempt you with a selection of artisan sour dough bread toasted and topped, toasted brioche buns or Belgian waffles. What better way to spend the weekend enjoying a couple of hours sitting and watching the world go by as you tuck into a toasted brioche bun with smoked streaky bacon, fried egg and mushrooms or perhaps a Belgian waffle topped with Nutella and banana!"
