Breakfast in Ohrid

Breakfast from the moment the doors open

In a lakeside town where most kitchens start at ten or eleven, an 08:00 opening is the single most useful thing on this page. If you are walking out to the lake early, heading to work, or on the first bus of the day, this is a real breakfast rather than a pastry and an instant coffee.

Everything here is assembled when you order it. Nothing is portioned into a fridge overnight, which is why the oats are still oats rather than a set block.

The oat meals

Four oat meals, all with your choice of vanilla, strawberry or chocolate protein. Bite is oats, banana, forest fruit, peanut butter and almond. Berry pairs oats with greek yogurt and forest fruit. Peanut keeps it to oats, banana and peanut butter. Raffaello is the one that reads like a dessert: vanilla protein, milk, raspberry and coconut over oats. They run 190 to 210 denars.

Chia, parfait and fruit

Three chia meals sit alongside the oats, and these are the vegan end of breakfast: chia with cashew milk, and two versions with almond milk — one with cocoa, one with raspberry — each with banana, agave and granola, from 170 to 180 denars.

The parfait layers homemade forest fruit jam with yogurt and granola, and the fruit meal is yogurt, fresh fruit, almonds and flaxseed at 230 denars. If you want something savoury instead, the guacamole toast on homemade sourdough is on the sandwiches and wraps page, and the smoothie bowl with greek yogurt, homemade granola and almonds is with the salads and bowls.

What to drink with it

The espresso is 8 grams to 25 millilitres, the cold-pressed juices are pressed to order, and every milk coffee can be made with cashew milk. A Green juice — spinach, cucumber, apple, ginger, lemon — next to an oat meal is the most ordered breakfast pairing on the menu.
