Breakfast is often dubbed the most important meal of the day, but it is also the meal that is most likely skipped in the hustle and bustle of morning chores. Nevertheless, the thought of perfectly poached eggs or generous breakfast platters may be just too tempting for some, resulting in people around the world opting out of the usual dinner menus for muesli, pancakes or toast instead. 

Such meals are now referred to as brinner — quite akin to the coinage of brunch — where people have dishes that are typically related to breakfast for dinner instead. A slight variation of the all-day-breakfast concept, brinner allows you to savour your breakfast delights sans the early morning rush. The concept is rising in popularity as proven by the increasing number of outlets that do not reserve their breakfast offerings at the beginning of the day only.

So, why limit yourself to having breakfast meals to a particular time when you can pop by any of these places to enjoy your favourite breakfast dishes at any time of the day.
