What is brunch and where did this trend come from?

Have you ever dreamed of enjoying a delicious meal while cruising down the Seine, with Paris as your backdrop? Le Diamant Bleu invites you to discover its all-you-can-eat brunch in Paris, a unique culinary experience that combines French gastronomy with an unforgettable cruise.. But before embarking on this culinary adventure, let’s dive into the fascinating world of brunch.

Summary

What is brunch?

Brunch is a hybrid meal that combines the flavors of breakfast and lunch.. Served late in the morning, this extended morning meal has become a true art of living. Its history dates back more than a century, and its evolution has transformed a simple late snack into a complete gastronomic experience. The origin of the term “brunch”—a contraction of ‘breakfast’ and “lunch”—reflects its hybrid nature, as do the varied dishes that comprise it.

What are some typical brunch dishes?

A proper brunch offers a variety of sweet and savory dishes. Eggs Benedict sit alongside pastries such as pain au chocolat, while fresh fruit and fruit salad add a touch of freshness.

Fluffy pancakes delight food lovers, and a variety of cold cuts complete the savory offerings. At Diamant Bleu, our Gourmet brunch elevates this experience with live cooking demonstrations.

How to prepare a homemade brunch?

Organizing a homemade brunch may seem complicated, but with a few well-chosen ideas, it becomes simple and easy. The key lies in diversity: combine sweet and savory dishes, hot and cold dishes, light dishes and more substantial dishes for a successful meal.

But why put yourself through all that stress when you can just chill out on the Seine? On board the Diamant Bleu, our chefs whip up fried eggs or omelets on demand, roast meats with baby potatoes, or a wok of seasonal veggies. And don’t forget our homemade pasta station and dessert buffet with chocolate mousse and seasonal pies.

What is the origin of brunch?

The origins of brunch date back to the late 19th century in the United Kingdom, before establishing itself in North America. This Sunday tradition first developed among the British aristocracy as a late snack after hunting. Its popularity exploded in the United States in the 1930s, before conquering the world.

Le Diamant Bleu reinterprets this tradition with a touch of French elegance, cruising along the Seine and offering breathtaking views of Paris’ most beautiful monuments.

When should you have brunch?

Brunch is traditionally enjoyed in the late morning or early afternoon, usually between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. Sunday remains the preferred day for this type of meal, perfect after a lie-in. It is a moment when time seems to stand still, ideal for special occasions.

Aboard the Diamant Bleu, our Sunday brunches offer you a precious moment of escape. Imagine yourself gliding gently along the Seine, admiring Notre Dame, the Eiffel Tower, and the Louvre, while enjoying an exceptional meal prepared by our talented chefs.

What drinks are served at brunch?

A successful brunch is accompanied by a selection of varied beverages. Hot beverages such as coffee and tea are essential, as are fresh fruit juices. For a festive touch, cocktails such as Bloody Mary or Mimosa (champagne and orange juice) are particularly popular.

Aboard the Diamant Bleu, our Gourmet brunch includes a choice of hot beverage, fruit juice, and a bottle of water. Our menu also offers a selection of prestigious champagnes such as Veuve Pelletier or Moët & Chandon, and signature cocktails such as Tequila Sunrise or Aperol Spritz.

Why is brunch so popular?

Brunch has established itself as an essential food trend because it perfectly embodies the balance between indulgence and conviviality.. It is the ultimate social occasion, where we take the time to enjoy ourselves in good company. Brunch offers the unique pleasure of combining several meals into one, in a relaxed atmosphere. Its popularity reflects our desire for authentic moments of sharing
