The fusion of breakfast and lunch has a name and that is the famous “brunch”. Its origin is Anglo-Saxon, from the word breakfast and lunch, and it is currently so fashionable, that it has become a gastronomic trend in several countries of the world.
This boom has also arrived in Mallorca, and that is why we will show you several places to enjoy a quiet brunch.
The brunch is known mainly for being a late breakfast on holidays, preferably on Sunday. This meal takes place between 11 o’clock in the morning and 3 o’clock in the afternoon.
This new gastronomic trend mixes a wide variety of foods from breakfast and lunch, with light or alcoholic drinks. In a brunch you can find anything from sandwiches, salads or delicious pizzas. Some also introduce soups, eggs, sausages or pastries to their brunch menu.
It wasn’t long ago that this term arrived in Spain. Brunch is well known in our country because of the great influence of tourists and foreigners settled in the country. At first it was only offered in prominent hotels, and now, it is increasingly normal to find many places that offer this service.
The island of Mallorca is famous, among other things, for the large influx of international tourists that arrive annually. Therefore, the brunch trend came to the island to stay, and has managed to encourage the Mallorcan on the island to try it.
