Fancy a 9pm Fry Up?

It’s always “eggs o’clock” at these five places around the city that make it their mission to serve you the day’s most important meal—breakfast—at any old time of the day, night even. Get set for the dawn (pun unintended!) of the All-Day Breakfast

Craft 
When these guys say ‘Breakfast Anytime’ they really men anytime! Using only “Kegg farms” organic, free range, tan shell eggs in all their egg dishes, this is in-keeping with the fresh produce ethos of Craft. So, this means an all-day menu replete with fun breakfast dishes like muglette which is an omelette made with cheese, cayenne pepper, sour cream and spring onion with an option for bacon, served, in... get this, a mug! Another must-try is the barbecue chicken breakfast bun made with homemade BBQ sauce, smoked applewood cheddar and a fried egg. Great ‘eggs’pectations, this.Where: Level 1, Phoenix Marketcity Kurla, LBS Marg, Kurla (w)

The all-day brekkie offering at this otherwise all-veg Kala Ghoda café truly is an egg lover’s fantasy come true. Available in myriad avatars, the eggs shines in all its sunshine-hued glory. Choose from a selection of international favourites like Turkish eggs, truffle eggs and Israeli Shakshouka to tried-n-tested desi classics like akuri, salli eggs and the green chilli chutney-redolent eggs Kejriwal. And for those not too chuffed with scarfing down eggs, the fluffy buttermilk pancakes, chewy bagels, French toast, breakfast shakes and waffles are the stuff 9pm breakfast dreams are made of!
