I assume you know that most hotels and aubergines include a continental breakfast with the room charge. Then if you want a little snack to eat while on the way to Orisson you can buy it in town before leaving. If that is not what you want to do, then you can have a snack at Hunto which is on the way up to Orisson.
Lovely ‘autocarrot’ mistake:
”aubergines”!!!
thanks for the chuckle!!
It isn't autocorrect, it is an indication of how bad i am at spelling!Lovely ‘autocarrot’ mistake:

As the locals adjust to the pandemic, you will have to look around. Ask the proprietors of the albergue you spent the night in and/or ask at the Camino office. You will need protein especially on the first day. Consider carrying a sausage of some kind.Hi, any recommendations for THE best breakfast in St Jean Pied de Port, at a reasonable hour (i.e. AFTER 8am) and before we start walking (slowly) to Orisson? (Next year, hopefully.) Thanks! Jill
The three times that I've started from St Jean I started walking well after 8am - between 10 and 11:30.As you said, when stopping at Orisson there's no need to rush! I'm sure that you'll find a lovely spot to enjoy breakfast. I'm sorry, but I don't remember where I had breakfast last year. I declined breakfast at Gite Bidean where I stayed because it was too early.It seems to be VERY unusual to start walking from SJPdP after 8am. Well that’s good! It’s nice to know we’ll be doing something different from everyone else.
If you do get to Orisson early it has a terrace with a magnificent view on which to enjoy lunch and a cold beer.Well that was an interesting overall response to my simple (I thought) question of where to have breakfast in SJPdP.
Only 1 personal recommendation (Gite Bidean), and only 1 suggested recommendation (Hotel Central, plus the restaurant across the river also does breakfast). Thanks guys!
I did say in the first post that we want to have breakfast AFTER 8am. Yes, many albergues include breakfast, but it is ONLY from 6am to about 7.30am, and then they toss you out at 8am. My question is, where do we go to START ordering (a GOOD) breakfast when we get tossed out at 8am?
We will be making a LEISURELY walk to Orisson. See this thread for background:

As stated in the above thread there is absolutely no point whatsoever in getting to Orisson early. Mid-afternoon is a perfect time to arrive.
We always carry snacks with us - we’re hikers. The shops will most definitely be open when we leave as we don’t intend to leave early.

Thanks everyone for your replies.
I took my time getting there, but did have a cold beer and conversations with the others.If you do get to Orisson early it has a terrace with a magnificent view on which to enjoy lunch and a cold beer.
French pastry and amazing coffee at a bakery, I don't recall the name, but sooooo good!Well that was an interesting overall response to my simple (I thought) question of where to have breakfast in SJPdP.

I had one great meal there, couldn't afford more.For an indulgent breakfast try Hôtel des Pyrénées. The plates just kept coming. Only don’t tell them you don’t drink coffee! They were still talking about ”no cafe” as we were leaving.
