Travel breakfasts

Writes Daria Sirotina: "Good morning! I really like breakfast and I adore traveling to have breakfast not in a hotel. Firstly, it is an opportunity to learn more about local culinary traditions, and secondly, to observe people and their habits. You have breakfast, for example, in Paris, and you watch the queue for baguettes or how the French dip a croissant in their coffee. In Italy, you will see how carefully Italians eat cappuccino foam with a spoon. In Spain, you will follow the local taste of toast with tomatoes and coffee with milk. Therefore, today I want to show you my breakfasts from the travels of recent years."

1. Parisian breakfasts are one of my favorites. Usually it's coffee with milk, croissants and small baguettes with butter and jam. This is a breakfast shot at Les Deux Magots, a famous cafe on Boulevard Saint-Germain. If you have breakfast there, take one breakfast for two, because these baskets with pastries are really big.

2. Great breakfasts in Israel! Usually, eggs are brought for breakfast (most often shakshuka — scrambled eggs with lecho sauce), fresh pita and a plate with various spreads: cheese, tuna, butter, pates, plus olives are always present. The breakfast in the photo was taken at the Benedict Cafe in Tel Aviv, which serves only breakfast 24 hours a day. There are toasts with salmon and poached egg, bread with butter and chocolate paste, fresh orange juice, coffee. The time was, in my opinion, about three o'clock in the afternoon. If you are in Tel Aviv in summer or spring, do not miss the opportunity to have breakfast in one of the beach cafes, sitting at a table standing right on the sand.

3. But I don't like Turkish breakfasts, although this one, which my dad and I cooked at the Almira Hotel in Ciraly, was very tasty! Homemade yogurt, fresh pomegranate juice, fresh cheese, honey or jam, watermelon, puff pastry with cheese and herbs, tea in small cups, nuts — it was very tasty!

4. And this is what breakfast looks like in one of the tourist cafes in the center of Istanbul: some vegetables, tasteless sausage, a piece of cheese, jam and honey. Behind the scenes — coffee and bread. In Istanbul, by the way, I have not managed to find delicious breakfasts yet.

5. Turkish tea is an invariable part of a traditional breakfast. Instead of tea, you can ask for Turkish coffee or, if you have breakfast in a tourist place, a more traditional option for Europeans like cappuccino or latte.

6. Italian breakfasts are one of the most favorite! Italians have a modest breakfast, most often coffee and a croissant. Breakfast is quite early — many people run to the bar for their cappuccino at 8 am, before work. However, lunch in Italy is early, at 12:30 everyone is already chewing. Cappuccino, by the way, is drunk only in the morning, or at least for an afternoon snack, asking for cappuccino after dinner means insulting the cook and showing that the food was completely inedible.

7. Another Italian breakfast. The first was shot in Verona, the second in Rome. As you can see, there is no difference.

8. Traditional English breakfast — fried eggs, sausages, mushrooms, potatoes and tomatoes on the grill. It may also include beans and black pudding. I don't like British breakfasts, they are too heavy for me.

9. Another breakfast in London — bread, jam, butter, coffee. I would have breakfast like this every day!

10. Viennese breakfast. Usually it's coffee, bread, jam, boiled egg and butter, but every cafe must have toast with ham and cheese, which I really like to accompany with freshly squeezed orange juice.

11. A glass of water is always brought to coffee in Vienna, and Viennese water can be drunk directly from the tap, it is so clean.

12. In multinational Berlin, breakfasts are very different, but the most common option is "coffee + pastries".

13. The basis of Melbourne breakfast is coffee. It is in Melbourne that the most delicious coffee in the world after Italy, and the breakfasts themselves are similar to Italian ones, include croissants and other puff pastry. But Australia would not be Australia if it were impossible to find breakfasts from a variety of countries in it.

14. Another Australian breakfast, this time filmed in the Hunter Valley. Fresh juices and fruits, sweet puff pastry, quiches with vegetables and cheese, eggs — it is made to please a variety of guests.

On every trip, I look for the best places for breakfast, using a guidebook or simply typing something like "best breakfast in ..." into Google, and then I choose the ones that I liked the most.
