WELCOME TO THE BRUNCH CLUB
I had the pleasure of living in New York for a few months, and almost every Saturday, as per tradition – my girlfriends and I would meet up in the city for a long, lazy, (and sometimes boozy) brunch. It was the perfect excuse to dress up, show up, catch up, sip on bubbles and nibble until our hearts were content. It became one of our favourite activities to do together. I’m a real sucker for breakfast – and especially breakfast at any time of the time, but for me, breakfast is not complete without a decent cuppa or better yet, a mimosa. So I thought to share some of my favourites brunch spots in KwaZulu-Natal, no matter what area you find yourself in, you too can call up your friends and get brunchin’.
