How do people actually have breakfast on the other side of the world? While we might think of a sandwich with cheese, yogurt, or a quick cappuccino, the day starts very differently elsewhere. From savory and nutritious to sweet and elaborate: breakfast tells surprisingly much about culture and habits. Travel with us through five typical breakfasts from different continents.
1. Japan – a savory start
A traditional Japanese breakfast is anything but sweet. Here you often find a combination of rice, miso soup, grilled fish, pickled vegetables, and sometimes an egg. Light, nutritious, and perfectly balanced. Completely in line with Japanese eating culture.
2. Morocco – starting the day slowly
In Morocco, breakfast is about conviviality and sharing. Think msemen (fluffy, layered pancakes), fresh bread with honey or amlou (a spread of almond, argan oil, and honey), served with fragrant mint tea. A breakfast where people take their time and that invites a slow start to the day.
3. Brazil – tropical & relaxed
The Brazilian breakfast, café da manhã, is often light but flavorful. Fresh fruit like papaya and mango, rolls with cheese, cake, and of course strong coffee. Simple, but with much attention to fresh ingredients.
4. France – small but classic
The French breakfast may be the most iconic. A croissant or pain au chocolat, a piece of baguette with butter and jam, and a café au lait. Not an extensive meal, but a moment that is enjoyed with attention.
5. Australia – modern breakfast paradise
Australia has almost elevated breakfasts to an art form. Think avocado toast, poached eggs, granola bowls, and specialty coffee. Healthy, trendy, and above all a true social breakfast experience.
A breakfast with ideas
Whether it's a quick espresso or an extensive breakfast meeting: breakfasts are becoming an increasingly social affair. It's no wonder morning sessions are becoming more popular for companies to use as business meetings.
Want to organize an inspiring morning yourself? From coffee experience to brunch workshop or a fully catered breakfast meeting: we are happy to think along with you.
