Are you looking for the best places for breakfast in Lincoln? Look no further. This is the first in a series of posts sharing the most recommended dining spots in and around the city. I asked for your top recommendations on Instagram and there were some names that came up repeatedly, so rest assured - this list includes places that are highly rated by the residents of Lincoln and are either in the centre or a few miles out (but well worth the trip)! So without further ado, let's get into it...
1. Doddington Hall Cafe
Doddington Hall is well worth a visit for many reasons - a beautiful estate with an Elizabethan stately home, five-acres of gardens and an array of shops and eating options. But this post is all about breakfast and Doddington Hall cafe does it so well, offering quality, seasonal produce from the estate and local suppliers. They have a small but fantastic menu covering all of the breakfast and brunch items you'd hope for, from a full english (a vegetarian and vegan option too) to american pancakes.
Opening times: Breakfast is served from 9 - 11am everyday.
Can you book? No, tables are available on a first come, first served basis
Address: Main St, Doddington, Lincoln LN6 4RU
2. Rising Café Lincoln
Situated within Alive Church, Rising Café is a very popular Lincoln spot and there are often queues to experience their delights. By dining at RC, you're not only enjoying a meal but also making a positive impact as the cafe is run by individuals who have experienced homelessness and addiction with every single penny of the proceeds directly supporting their own recovery journey. The breakfast menu is small but perfectly formed, and is served all day.
Opening times: Breakfast is served all day. They are open Tuesday to Saturday.
Can you book? No - walk-ins only
Address: Alive, Newland, Lincoln, LN1 1XD
