Organic breakfast products are an easy and affordable way to dip a toe in organic. It’s simple quick, easy and thrifty. Also breakfast is such an important par of the day (specially when you are on holiday!). Ant this is the late motiv at Summer House on Music Lane, the restaurant of Hotel Magdalena, in the United States, the newest hotel from Austin’s acclaimed Bunkhouse hospitality company in collaboration with renowned architecture firm Lake | Flato. "I encourage everyone to grow your own food. It’s so very rewarding and also delicious. We’re so lucky at the hotel to have a garden on-site. We are currently fermenting chile piquin chiles to add to our house hot sauce, and we grow so many different flowers and herbs to use in our cooking and plating. I’m looking forward to spring when we’ll see poppies, a number of different chile varieties, hoja santa, and basils” says Jeffrey Hundelt, Executive Chef at the property. Our breakfast recoomendation: eggs in Purgatory (herbed pesto, aleppo, lentils, za’atar toast), smoked Salmon Tartine (house rye, whipped cream cheese, tomato, caraway crunch) with a breakfast Sandwich (everything brioche, scrambled eggs, bacon, fresno hot sauce) and a selection of pastries (including scones). Of course, a fresh squezzed orange juice and espresso. Additional breakfast options include Summer House Breakfast (sunnyside farm eggs, bacon, baby tomato, seeded sourdough), and Avocado salad (Gluten-free - crispy amaranth, citrus supremes, herbs, feta), while a weekend brunch favorite includes the Ricotta Pancakes (blueberries, whipped creme fraiche). Located on Music Lane in the popular South Congress neighborhood of Austin, in the United States, the 89-room hotel takes inspiration from the natural green space of central Texas, Barton Springs in Austin, and early 1970s lakeside culture, and is Bunkhouse’s largest hotel to date.
