Breakfast prices run steep at the Hotel Monaco’s brasserie. A simple Irish breakfast costs $17—but with crisp blood sausage, charred tomatoes, fried eggs, peppery potatoes, and a crock of perfectly seasoned baked beans, you’d be hard-pressed to find a better fry-up in town. Even more decadent is the egg-topped, béchamel-doused croque madame, in which grilled ham and slightly sweet Comté cheese are sandwiched between brioche slices. Monday through Friday 7 to 10 am, Saturday and Sunday 8 to 3.
