One meal to rule them all
Brunch is the superior meal. Don’t fight us on this. First of all, it’s breakfast without an alarm clock. The prospect of brunch is the only thing that can pull us out of bed before noon, especially on lazy Sundays.
Secondly, it’s the only socially acceptable excuse for day drinking. Do we really need a third reason?
It’s time to ring your girl squad because these 13 places are perfect for those who like to take their time with good food and even better conversation (read: gossip).
Brunch is always a good idea! Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. Save these beautiful brunch spots by adding them to your ‘Must Try‘ lists on the Booky app. Be sure to download it for FREE if you haven’t already!
