Whether you are getting together with friends for a catch up, are looking for an early morning treat or even a hangover cure, there is nothing that beats a good fry up

Ely locals have all come to the same conclusion after being asked where to get the best fry up in the city. There are some mornings that can only be remedied by a delicious English breakfast.

Whether you’re celebrating the start of the weekend, some time off work, or are trying to cure a hangover, a fry-up is one of the most perfect ways to start the day. The dish often includes pork sausages, bacon, fried eggs, fried or grilled tomatoes, mushrooms, and baked beans.

It is commonly served with black pudding, hash browns, fried bread or buttered toast, and served with tea or coffee.

But when one visitor to Ely asked locals on the R/Ely community where the best place in the city to get a fry up was, everyone couldn’t help but come to the same conclusion.

The user asked: “Hey everyone. I am currently on a quest to visit every Anglican cathedral in England, to try and find my favorite and to explore my faith, and Ely is next on the list.

“But equally important is my quest to find the diocese with the best fry up! Where I know people in the area, I will ask them, but Cambridgeshire is uncharted territory for me – so what’s your favourite place for a fried breakfast?”

From the outside, the café may just look like another average place to get food, but some have argued that the location has the best breakfast in the city.

Streetcafe on Ely high street offers the ‘best’ cooked breakfast with the option of tables outside next to the Cathedral under the trees.

However, one of the main draws for people visiting the greasy spoon, is that the breakfast menu includes bubble and squeak, pan-fried vegetables, primarily potatoes and cabbage.

The cafe has a four out of five star rating on Trip Advisor, with one person claiming it was the “best cooked breakfast” they had eaten in decades.

They said: “Possibly the best cooked breakfast I’ve eaten out in decades, with properly cooked black pudding, eggs over easy still runny in the yolk and a portion of “bubble” that was the most interesting and delicious brekky side I think I’ve ever tasted.

“Great atmosphere and amazing efficient service l. such that no other cafe option for miles around is even worth trying.”

A second said: “Great venue, very well presented and a friendly atmosphere, but no airs and graces. It is what it says on the tin. Excellent, efficient and friendly service and great food, what else could you ask for..”

A third added: “Great breakfast for 3 hungry guys. Portions were huge and the had everything in god quality for a full English!”
