When travelling, meals are like postcards you taste. For instance, your breakfast, whether an opulent spread at a mall cafe or a feast at your hotel, sets your tone for the day. There’s buttered perfection dripping off flaky pastries, eggs scrambled like a silky sunrise, each bite a nudge closer to adventure. Not all breakfasts are equal, but the great ones stay with you.
Tiffany's Blue Box Cafe, Dubai
Where: Tiffany & Co. flagship store, Grand Atrium, Dubai Mall
Yes, you can have breakfast at Tiffany’s, a gem within the sprawling Dubai Mall. The cafe serves creamy scrambled eggs on plush Tiffany-blue plates. Sipping a perfect flat white from one of their iconic 1837 Blue cups feels like a chic cinematic moment. It’s a setting that marries elegance with whimsy, think robin’s egg blue walls, dazzling fixtures made of, well, Tiffany’s signature boxes, and dazzling window displays straight from your Audrey-inspired dreams. The menu is a culinary love affair between New York classics and French finesse, orchestrated by acclaimed French chef Marion Lefebvre. The breakfast pancakes are no mere afterthought either; they’re cloud-soft with just the right kiss of sweetness.
Flying Sauces, Soneva Fushi, Maldives
Where: Kunfunadhoo Island, Eydhafushi, Maldives
Picture this: you’re zipping high above Soneva Fushi’s lush jungle canopy, the salty breeze of the Indian Ocean teasing your senses, your heart thudding from the exhilaration and, perhaps, the anticipation of breakfast like no other. This isn’t your usual ‘jungle cafe' experience; it’s fine dining, elevated both metaphorically and literally. Arriving at the restaurant, a sleek, sci-fi-esque pod suspended 12 meters above the ground, is a moment of pure theatre. You step off the zipline, half-exhilarated, half-hungry, wondering if you’ve just made your grand entrance into some sort of tropical utopia. Once seated amongst the treetops, the menu is indulgently simple yet luxurious. Think buttery smoked salmon on nutty seed bread, velvety truffle hollandaise blanketing eggs Florentine, and granola so fresh it might’ve met the papaya bowl in another life. The croissants? Parisian chic with a hint of island whimsy. Flying Sauces delivers more than a meal; it’s an eco-conscious, meticulously orchestrated joyride for both the palate and the spirit.
Badrutt's Palace, St. Mortiz, Switzerland
Where: Via Serlas 27 7500 St. Moritz, Switzerland
If breakfast at Badrutt’s Palace doesn’t make you feel like royalty wrapped in fluffy cashmere, then nothing will. Morning arrives like a symphony, sunlit breakfasts and harp melodies create pure culinary poetry. Perched above the glittering lake with the Alps posing like supermodels in the background, the buffet at ‘Le Restaurant’ isn’t just breakfast, it’s an edible ode to decadence. Start with a glass of Ruinart Champagne, because why sip orange juice when you can toast to mountains and mornings? The bread selection feels like a Parisian baker’s fever dream. The pièce de resistance are the hot dishes that redefine indulgence. A poached egg with summer truffle on English muffins? It’s a breakfast meeting luxury at its finest. Or dive into Swiss signature staples: waffles, pancakes, or French toast, laced with maple syrup and berries that actually taste like sunshine. And if you’re vegan, tofu scramble is here to rescue you. Badrutt’s breakfast is less of a meal, more of a moment.
Pavyllon, Four Seasons Hotel, London, Park Lane, UK
Where: Hamilton Place, Park Lane, London, W1J 7DR, England
Every morning feels like Christmas at this Michelin-star breakfast place. Breakfast at Pavyllon is not just about nourishment; it’s an indulgent experience that leaves your senses tingling. Ever since Benjamin Ferra y Castell ( Executive Chef at the Hotel) Almond took the reins, mornings bloom like a garden in spring. The Matcha Pancakes, airy and draped in an emerald glaze, could practically float off the plate. The Mayfair Muffin? A posh take on your classic breakfast sandwich, the Cumberland sausage is meaty decadence wrapped up in a cheddar and sunny yolk hug. The Avocado ‘Croast’, a cheeky croissant base cradling creamy guacamole, a poached egg, and a flurry of rocket, which sells over 800 copies in one year? It’s bougie without being pretentious, with velvety guac making every bite feel like a mini spa day. For art lovers, the Summer Flower Bagel is almost too pretty to eat, with the smoked salmon lounging under a delicate zucchini flower; it’s more edible still life than food. Then there’s the Arabic Omelette, bursting with herbs and vibrancy, sparking not just flavour but scrolling fervour with 18 million views! And then there’s Steak and Eggs for those channelling serious ‘Wolf of Wall Street’ energy.
The DA Vittorio Cafe Louis Vuitton, Milan, Italy
Where: Via Montenapoleone, 2, 20121 Milan, Italy
Louis Vuitton’s flagship on Via Montenapoleone isn’t just a boutique; it’s Milan’s stylish pulse dressed in Parisian charm. After a three-year transformation, the space is less retail, more cultural haven. Designed by Peter Marino, the building exudes neoclassical drama softened by cascading greenery and sunlit courtyards that wouldn’t look out of place in a Fellini film. But this isn’t the kind of store you breeze through quickly; it’s a destination, particularly for early risers with a penchant for luxury breakfasts and coffee meetings that feel like events. Head to Da Vittorio Café, the crown jewel tucked inside, where gastronomy meets glamour. Run by the famed Da Vittorio team (Michelin stars included), this café turns breakfast into a performance. Coffee here is a ritual, custom blends so rich they almost demand a conversation about provenance. Pair it with their brioche, impossibly buttery yet structured enough to host silky jams and hazelnut spreads that taste rich like those from the Italian countryside.
