'Brunch' is a portmanteau from English. It is made up of the words 'Breakfast' (breakfast) and 'Lunch' (lunch) and describes exactly this mixed form.
Ein Brunch findet typischerweise zwischen 10 und 14 Uhr statt.
A brunch typically takes place between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.
People often use the fixed expressions 'zum Brunch gehen' (to go for brunch) or 'sich zum Brunch treffen' (to meet for brunch). If you are hosting, you can 'jemanden zum Brunch einladen' (invite someone to brunch).
Wollen wir uns nächste Woche Sonntag zum Brunch treffen?
Shall we meet for brunch next Sunday?
A brunch is often a social event on weekends or holidays that lasts for several hours. Many cafés and restaurants offer special buffets for it.
Das neue Café in der Innenstadt bietet ein großes Brunch-Buffet an.
The new café in the city center offers a large brunch buffet.
breakfast
Both words refer to a meal eaten in the morning or late morning. „Frühstück“ is the first meal of the day and is typically eaten in the morning; „Brunch“ is an extended combination of breakfast and lunch eaten in the late morning. Without this combined character, „Frühstück“ is the better choice.
Am Sonntag aßen wir erst um elf Uhr einen langen Brunch, der Frühstück und Mittagessen ersetzte.
On Sunday, we did not eat until eleven and had a long brunch that replaced breakfast and lunch.
