Expect eggs. Muchos, muchos eggs.
Steak and Eggs at the Lord Clifden
One of only two places in the entire city that serves steak and eggs, The Lord Clifden's take on the US classic is absolutely immense. You can also work off the calories on their glorious beer garden-based ping pong table.

Full Breakfast at Bistro, Hotel Du Vin
Ah the classic full breakfast – pork sausage, cured back bacon, black pudding, grilled tomato, mushroom and eggs cooked as you like, but (and this is very important) NO BEANS. Satan's legume.

Scotch Pancakes with smoked bacon and maple syrup at Boston Tea Party
Get thee to Boston Tea Party's Harborne branch (it's better than the city centre outpost, we think) for crazy good breakfast options. We've been known to arrive, order their pancakes, read a paper until 1pm before ordering one of the superb burgers for lunch. Kick back with a pint of Wiper and True's Amber Ale and ponder staying for dinner.

Mini Brekkie at Urban Coffee Company
The Jewellery Quarter branch of Urban is our favourite of their three Brum locations but their Mini Brekkie is a storming dish at all and any of them. Grease-free (go for poached eggs – they might be the best in town) this meal is a genuinely light cooked brekkie, meaning you won't feel the size of a humpback whale on your way out. (And look, no beans)
