CINNAMON ROLL FRENCH TOAST
AT ANOTHER BROKEN EGG CAFÉ, LAKE MARY
This inventive twist on French toast at Another Broken Egg is a game-changer for us. A hand-made cinnamon roll is pressed flat, battered, and griddled to sweet perfection, then garnished with Foster sauce and succulent berries, and topped with whipped cream.

SIGNATURE FRENCH TOAST 
AT CHEZ VINCENT, WINTER PARK
Chez Vincent has ample brunch offerings, but we are forever faithful to their Signature French Toast. High-quality bread is battered and fried with precision, then paired with exceptionally ripe peaches and topped with a divine champagne syrup.

GRIDDLED FRENCH TOAST 
AT HASH HOUSE A GO-GO, INTERNATIONAL DRIVE
The dressings make all the difference at Hash House A Go-Go. Soft brioche bread is dipped lovingly into bananacinnamon cream before being grilled, and topped off with pecaninfused maple syrup and airy whipped cream for a perfect balance.

STUFFED TURTLE FRENCH TOAST 
AT KEKE’S BREAKFAST CAFÉ, MILLENIA
Big appetites will be happily satisfied with our selection at Keke’s. Almost dessert-like, this French toast is stuffed with cream cheese and covered in a generous drizzle of smooth chocolate, rich caramel and pecans, made complete with a powdered sugar dusting.

Libations you re sure to love

SINGAPORE SLING (pictured)
AT EDEN BAR, MAITLAND
Eden’s Singapore Sling checks everything on our list. Tanqueray Gin and Grand Marnier is shaken with sweet Cherry Heering liqueur and Green Chartreuse, pineapple and lime juice, and blended perfectly with Angostura bitters and a splash of soda water for a heavenly balance.

HIGH TEA 
AT OSPREY TAVERN, LAKE BALDWIN PARK
Osprey Tavern gives us the best of both worlds in their cocktail. Smooth Junipero Gin is combined with Earl Grey tea and blended seamlessly with lemon, Cream Sherry and Benedictine before being garnished with a succulent fennel shrub.

LONDON BELL 
AT SLATE RESTAURANT, DR. PHILLIPS
Those seeking a spicy mix-up on gin offerings should look no further than Slate. Their London Bell cocktail takes Sipsmith Gin and stirs things up with sweet red bell pepper, lemon and rosemary, before topping it off with cracked black pepper for a bold kick.
