Brunch; that perfect meal between breakfast and lunch has definitely taken Melbourne by storm. It is the best excuse by far to catch up with friends and family over some much-needed cocktails and devour some delicious brunch creations. When you think about how brunch got its name, it’s not difficult to realize why brunch has become the most important meal, especially when it’s bottomless.

1. A great excuse for a sleep in

This could quite possibly be one of the most important reasons of all. We all deserve to catch up on our beauty sleep. Even if you wake up after 12pm you can still start your day in the best way possible with a tasty brunch and a cheeky drink, or if you’re lucky, a bottomless brunch which will have you sipping away and indulging in the best way possible.

2. Best time to catch up

Brunch has become a way of life, with many millennials opting to indulge in a brunch as a weekly catch up. This makes for the perfect time to not only catch up with friends or family but to also enjoy a delicious meal and drink as well!

3. Relax – feel the joy of having someone else cook for you

You can let yourself fully relax without even having to lift a finger. Leave making your tasty brunch dishes to the professionals and sit back and really enjoy yourself. Plus, you can avoid having all of the messy dishes pile up after cooking up a storm in the kitchen by simply eating out at one of your favourite bottomless brunch spots.

4. Save money

Essentially, putting two meals in one can save you more money in the long run. You can also take advantage of its perfect timing to eat twice as much because technically, it’s two meals!

5. You can eat whatever you want

As brunch is a combination of two meals, you can choose between both breakfast and lunch foods, which is great for those who just never quite know what they want. Burger with a side of cocktails? No one is going to judge!
