One of the things that people ask often about our Maine bed and breakfast is “What is for breakfast?” And that is something really tough to answer, because breakfast at the Maine Stay Inn varies from day to day. No matter what is on the menu, you can be sure that we will serve up hearty and nutritious morning meals with enough variety for all palates.
Inventive gourmet breakfasts await guests at the Maine Stay Inn
The morning menu changes every day, but for the most part we alternate between sweet and savory entrees. But if you’re not someone who likes to start the day with something sweet, there will still be plenty of options on that “sweet day.” Because we don’t like those blood sugar spikes either, we always include eggs and a side of breakfast meat. And sometimes we also include home fried potatoes or a savory bread. Our main goal is really to prepare the highest quality foods in a way that you wouldn’t eat for breakfast at home!
Because Kennebunkport Maine is known for its delicious food, visitors are often concerned that they are going to over do at breakfast. But since we can’t count on pastries to fuel us for the day, we would never do that to you! So even though some of the items on your plate might be indulgent, at our Maine bed and breakfast, we want to provide delicious and nutritious breakfasts, including lots of protein sources, fresh fruits, and healthy carbohydrates as well.
Heartier eaters often worry that a plated breakfast (as opposed to a cold buffet or continental breakfast) might mean that they’ll leave the table wanting more. But since we also always offer homemade vanilla maple granola with dried fruits and nuts, that’s never a concern. And we even have gluten-free granola for those who can’t tolerate gluten (thank goodness for Bob’s Red Mill certified gluten-free oats!). Don’t forget to let us know if you have dietary restrictions, because we’re happy to accommodate your needs, as long as we have a little warning! Vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, and dairy free meals are some of the frequent restrictions we’re very happy to accomodate.
Another thing that people wonder about when choosing to stay at a Maine bed and breakfast is who they will be dining with. Fortunately, the Maine Stay is able to accommodate lots of preferences. The main dining room offers family style options, which allows for a traditional bed and breakfast experience and socializing with other visitors. Tables for two on our wraparound porch let guests enjoy some more intimacy while still being waited on. Some really prefer the most private and intimate dining experience (or a very relaxing breakfast in bed), and any any suite allows guests to have our gourmet breakfast delivered directly to their door to enjoy in the privacy of their own space.
With so many options for breakfast, there really isn’t a “typical” experience at our Maine bed and breakfast!
