Extra Perks

Perks N. Fairfax St.

When I was taking an art class a few summers ago, I discovered Extra Perks on North Fairfax Street. This locally-owned restaurant has great food at great prices! The Smoked Salmon Sandwich is my favorite menu item and every time it is delicious. The bread is warm and the ingredients make a perfect lunch. They have breakfast during the week until 11am and on the weekend the brunch menu goes until 3pm. The owner’s British heritage brings to Alexandria the ‘Full British Breakfast’ that includes two eggs, bangers (fresh made English pork sausage), apple wood smoked bacon, mushroom, grilled tomato  and toast and the option to add English baked beans. And, if you love good quiche- Extra Perks makes theirs in-house. Two kinds are offered daily and the spinach version is packed with vegetables while the second option often features bacon or crab. When I was there on Sunday, both looked delicious and fluffy!

Extra Perks is located at 822 North Fairfax between Madison Street and Montgomery Street. Plenty of street parking is available. Hours are: 7am-6pm Monday-Friday, 8am-6pm on Saturday and 8:30am to 3:45pm on Sunday.
