They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and while many of us often forget to grab a piece of toast before heading to work, or aren't particularly enthused about yet another bowl of cereal, going out for breakfast is a whole other experience.
If you asked me whether I would prefer to go out for breakfast or for tea, it's pretty much guaranteed that I'll opt for the pre-midday option because I will never say no to French toast covered in syrup, or crispy hash browns.
And, I definitely live in the right city as a breakfast lover, because whether you're after a post night out full English or an Instagram-worthy stack of pancakes alongside a mimosa (or three), there is something for everyone in Liverpool.
For those of you who aren't locals - or just fancy trying somewhere new - I have put together a list of my recommendations for breakfast and brunch in the city, from an award-winning North American-style joint to a quirky plant-based cafe.

9. The Vibe, Paradise Street
If you're after a decent vegan breakfast or brunch, The Vibe is the place for you. The fully plant-based cafe offers a range of breakfast options, from vegan eggs to (my all time favourite) pancakes with berry compote and ice cream. You will also find a selection of hot drinks, smoothies and juices available, and you can bring your pup too. | Emma Dukes Photo: Emma Dukes

10. Maggie May’s, Bold Street
Maggie May’s is another venue recommended by our readers, with its Full English being raved about by locals. The cafe serves up traditional Scouse meals and tasty breakfasts are available all day. | Trip Advisor Photo: Trip Advisor
