The idea of breakfast being merged with lunch is the perfect combination, and people across the globe have hopped onto the phenomenon that is brunch. Who does not love a late morning meal that is accompanied by ice cold mimosas (orange juice mixed with champagne)?
Eden Storom, CEO of 4th Nomad, a Digital Marketing, Brand Design and Wed Design business, has expressed how she meets up with her clients, and holds business meetings at her favourite brunch spots, with the intentions of never having to miss out on the experience that is brunch.
Storom has listed her favourite brunch spots in Gauteng, here they are:
Culture club
16th St, Hazelwood, Pretoria
“We at culture club define ‘tapas’ as more a style of eating than strictly Spanish recipes. Our menu combines mixed influences from the Mediterranean, Middle East, Asia, and some great local flavours too”. Culture Club has a really great atmosphere. A lot of the seating is outside, and that allows you to get the view of the village, and all the activities that happen in the village. The food is fantastic. They have tapas that are amazing.
