Sure, we've had our share of the incredible, edible egg.
But let us not forget the wonderous, carb-laden breakfast that is French toast. Yelp's rounded up the best places in Glasgow and Edinburgh to dig in to this breakfast delight.
Cafézique
70 Hyndland Street, Glasgow West End
French toast for £5 with optional extras of banana, bacon or Canadian maple syrup! Jennifer K enjoys the "relaxed yet buzzing atmosphere and the friendly and accommodating staff!"
The Blue Bear
9 Brandon Terrace, Cannonmills, Edinburgh
Cressida F had her first-ever french toast experience here. The verdict? "It was stunning; the maple syrup was spot on and the bacon just how I like it. It's a pretty good portion for the price too!"
The Hyndland Café
96 Clarence Drive Glasgow West End
Leanne R "opted for a portion of French toast with bacon and maple syrup which was absolute delicious. Bacon was slightly crisped, French toast was cooked perfectly, slightly crunchy crusts, soft in the middle."
Mimi's Bakehouse
63 Shore, Leith, Edinburgh
"A Victorian(ish) bakehouse in Leith? Oh yes and me very much likey!" Rayan D suggests the french toast here as a perfect fix for a rainy Saturday morning. Pro tip? "To top it, we had a prosecco once our fare was devoured."
North Star Café Bistro
108 Queen Margaret Drive, Glasgow West End
"They do amazing breakfast rolls, and their French toast is to die for, advises Kate L. "Everything is cooked to perfection. Their ciabattas are probably my favourite, but their daily specials are always of high quality too!"
Urban Angel
121 Hanover Street, New Town, Edinburgh
"French toast, crispy bacon and maple syrup - I'd never tried it with a baguette and it was really nice! I liked that it held its own and was less soggy than a normal loaf! Bacon and syrup together just make sense." - Sharon M
Papercup
603 Great Western Road, Glasgow West End
Gordon M says "the French toast is served as two thick slices of fresh brioche loaf, dipped in egg and cooked to a perfect golden brown, a generous drizzle of maple syrup and a small dollop of a wonderful yoghurt and pistachio mix which cuts through all the sweetness perfectly."
The Edinburgh Larder
15 Blackfriars Street, Old Town, Edinburgh
Aoife D sought out this spot for a "very tasty breakfast which helped with some sore heads and hungry bellies." Her toast verdict? "My french toast was easily the best I have ever tried!"
Patisserie Valerie
23 West Nile Street, Glasgow City Centre
"My tea was lovely and the French toast was a tasty brioche bread with a wee bowl of maple syrup to drizzle over" says Elizabeth F.
Roseleaf
23/24 Sandport Place, Leith, Edinburgh
Eric A has "been here multiple times just for the French Toast. Absolutely awesome." He promises, it's so good, you'll be "tempted to order another round!"
