Breakfast

Breakfast is the first meal of the day, which literally means breaking the fast ofthe night.

Before 18-century, breakfast was had in the morning and comprised of foodthat provided immediate nourishment and energy such as cold meat, pate,cheese and beer. In Victorian era, it developed into a prolonged family meal,serving ham, omelette, roasted partridge, kedgeree, followed by fruits, honey,and biscuits, and served with tea.

In France, breakfast was known as petit djeuner. Unlike the British, the Frenchhad a light breakfast consisting of a cup of tea, coffee or caf au lait or hotchocolate with buttered toast, croissant, bread or biscottes spread with jam orpreserves or honey.

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day for the customers as well as forthe establishment. The in-house guests, more often than not have breakfast inthe hotel. The service provided during the first meal of the day can set the toneof the day for the guests.
