Probably everyone has heard of the concept of Brunch, that delicious combination between breakfast and lunch that has conquered the palates and hearts of many. What is better than a gastronomic experience that fuses the sweet and the salty, the classic and the innovative?

Discovering the brunch: a look at its origin

This word of English origin has no other meaning than being the fusion between breakfast - lunch . Its literal meaning reveals its essence: a perfect combination between the two meals that, currently, has become a trend that is very fashionable.

In relation to its history, although there is evidence of its existence for 130 years, its origin is not entirely clear. There are those who say that it comes from upper-class British families, who left Sunday free for the service and they prepared a large buffet of food for the whole day. There are also those who believe that its origin is American, referring to the 1930s, when cocktails and food were eaten and drunk between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. to mitigate the effects of alcohol from the previous night.

Despite the various theories, the only certainty is that, over time, the brunch has taken root as a tradition to get out of the daily routine. This gastronomic ritual has become the perfect excuse to enjoy special moments with friends, family or your partner, creating a unique experience that goes beyond simply “having a drink”.
