PRIX FIXE BREAKFAST MENU

prix fixe breakfast menu is always served at Auberge Pique-Nique. For anyone not familiar with the term prix fixe it simply means a pre-selected menu at a fixed price. The chef plans the foods to be served and the fixed price would be the total cost per person. In other words everyone gets the same food and pays the same price. Here at Auberge Pique it means our breakfast menu is pre-selected but the price to everyone is FREE if its included in the room reservation.

Our menu changes daily but it always includes eggs, breakfast potatoes, sausage or bacon or ham, bread, jam, butter, pancake or beans. Coffee, tea, and hot chocolate are the hot beverages of choice. While juice choices are orange or apple or fruit juice. Juice choices may vary week 

Average cost of restaurant breakfast
Now what would our breakfast cost in a restaurant. Let’s take a look at some average prices.

Glass of orange juice ————————————————————   $3.00
1 cup of fresh fruit with yogurt ————————————————-   $4.00
Scone with jams and cream —————————————————    $4.50

So now here are the disadvantages.

No choice in food selection. (Although we find the majority of guests like what we serve! And we do check for special diet requirements, food allergies, and food dislikes).
