What is a Brunch?
A Brunch is that breakfast at the end of the morning that we usually share in a group accompanied by a good atmosphere and that is extended until it joins the meal. It comes from the Anglo-Saxon Breakfast (breakfast) and lunch (lunch). It usually consists of a delicious combination of sweet and savory that satisfies cravings. Definitely a more hearty breakfast than usual or a light snack that replaces the meal.
What is eaten and how it is served will depend on the taste and circumstances of each person. Ideal for celebrating a special occasion with friends and family or simply if you want to treat yourself at home with your partner... or alone! We have a series of points that you should take into account to get a general idea of how to organize the perfect brunch.
Brunch Organization
Since a brunch usually takes place during the weekend, we must take into account that the schedule is not tight and that, being a morning event, it has a casual and light air. In summer we prefer to do it outdoors, so a good terrace can be considered the ideal place.
We suggest considering a buffet or shared table since a lot of varied food is served in small portions. This way the guests will be able to try a little bit of everything. As for the time, it is usually served between the normal breakfast and lunch time, generally around 10 am.
Brunch tableware and decoration
The decoration will always depend on the taste of each one, it can be as elaborate or simple as you want. We always recommend including cheerful colors and natural elements such as fresh country flowers to decorate.
In the case of cold food, we usually place it on trays on the table. Multi-level trays are very popular in this type of tables. Since it allows greater visibility of everything served.
If we have a caterer, we will have waiters who usually offer hot snacks to your guests or they can also offer corners and do a kind of showcooking. showcooking.
Brunch Menu
A brunch menu can be very simple or very elaborate. There are no fixed rules for deciding what to include, but there are certain star dishes that cannot be missed, both sweet and savory.
Beverages
Drinks play an important role in a brunch. Fruit is usually the protagonist in all its versions: cold press, juices and smoothies should not be missing. If we want to liven up the event a bit, we cannot leave aside the cocktails, either with or without alcohol.
Among the most outstanding are those based on orange and tomato juice such as a mimosa (cava with orange juice) or a Bloody Mary (tomato juice prepared with vodka).
Last but not least, coffee and tea are the first meal of the day, so a long coffee, cappuccino or latte is very much appreciated at this time of the day.
Salado
Within the savory offer, we have the egg, in all its versions and combinations, as an indisputable ingredient when designing the perfect brunch menu.
We have them poached, scrambled and, the most typical, the eggs benedictwith hollandaise sauce. We must not leave aside the toasts and jams.
A brunch usually offers different artisan breads with a variety of toppings such as salmon, avocado, cheeses and the legendary ham with tomato and oil.
Sweet
Finally we have the sweet part of the brunch. For many the best part! We usually go for the classics like pancakes and waffles accompanied by a delicious maple syrup, honey or chocolate. We can also opt for homemade pastries and cakes that have a lot of variety.
If we want a lighter option, we have the fresh fruit skewers and cereals with nuts and yogurt.
In Artigot Catering we have a very wide breakfast offer that can be perfectly adapted to a brunch. We always seek to meet the expectations of our customers to enjoy a pleasant time with their loved ones.
