Brunch (Brunch) is a word created by combining breakfast, which is breakfast, and lunch, which is lunch. In Korean, breakfast and lunch can be reduced to “snack,†but the image that comes to mind feels quite different. For a generation that grew up watching successful gold misses from “Sex and the City†gather to chat and enjoy a meal together, brunch was like that.
The demand of the MZ generation for the perfect plating even if they eat a single piece of bread and the boom on Instagram platforms have combined, making it difficult to find a place without a brunch cafe in a neighborhood called “hot fling†these days. Also, as more than ten years have passed since brunch culture entered Korea, simple and friendly popularization has gradually become popular, and places are also growing in variations with Korean ingredients. There are also plenty of “all-day brunch†restaurants that can be found without a time limit to meet growing needs.
The perfect brunch for this season. Relax alone or with a nice person over a delicious brunch and a cup of aromatic coffee.
