Too late for a light breakfast, but too early for a hearty lunch? If you snack on something tasty in between and combine the two meals, you could easily find yourself brunching. Of course, we're not just talking about a late-night snack for the late risers, but rather an option that's the perfect occasion for your weekend get-togethers. But what's a real brunch like?
Brunch from the beginning to the present day
Just like late mornings spent doing nothing, late mornings spent doing nothing have long been the privilege of the luxurious. That is why the term brunch, which is a fusion of breakfast and lunch, first began to spread among the upper classes in the first half of the twentieth century and then slowly became popular among the middle classes. Of course, this was linked to the social changes of the century: with the introduction of the eight-hour working day and then the free Sunday and Saturday, ordinary people had more and more free time, which sometimes included a lazy morning. So brunch is really a special occasion - it's not for every day, but once or twice a week is a good way to start a day.
The Magic - a special restaurant in Budapest
As brunching is not a daily occurrence for most people, many like to combine it with a meeting. Whether it's for a light business meeting or a get-together with friends, the point is always to be exclusive and relaxed. And this is something that is also emphasised when it comes to food. Brunch is usually served in the late morning, around noon, so there's usually a little more than a solid breakfast and a little less than a heavy lunch.
At The Magic, we've thought of the details: whether it's a hearty English breakfast or a Hungarian omelette, you're sure to be well catered for. But of course you can also expect other light meals, such as a delicious witch's salad or a meal of tiny elves with a hot coffee or a potion.
