Monterey is full of restaurants. Sorting through the tourist traps and mega-expensive hotel spots to find a great breakfast (or other meal) can be a chore. But here's a start -- for the best breakfast in the Monterey area, go to First Awakenings in Pacific Grove.
First Awakenings has a more local feel than many of the restaurants that you'll find near the waterfront. It is at the Tin Cannery -- a warehouse-like building that houses lots of outlet stores (125 Oceanview Blvd.). You can get parking validation for the Cannery lot just up the street.
The restaurant itself includes an outside dining area with large tables covered by deck umbrellas, which surround a fire pit. The fire pit is a big hit with little ones.
The food is outstanding -- particularly the range of egg-related dishes. Portions are large. Coffee is delivered in a coffee pot that sits at your table.
I'm partial to a fritatta-like dish called the "Swiss Miss." It is heavy on the swiss cheese, of course. My only problem with it is the name...
