Sometimes you just feel like a dirty big burger to clear the night before, and the farmer burger hits the spot.

Located in the posh end of Istedgade, this former pharmacy houses a delightful café that is very popular with the Vesterbro locals.

4. Bułkę przez Bibułkę. Warsaw, Poland.

We have no clue how to pronounce, or even what the translation of this restaurant’s name is – but according to Google translate it’s something to do with toilet paper and/or cigarettes. Either way they do the damn best brunch in Warsaw and their scrambled eggs are to die for.

5.La Rotonde. Prague, Czech republic

Toma Café also has the best coffee in Madrid. And their brunch is just as good. We can’t recommend this place enough.

17. Vagabund. Zagreb, Croatia.

This place is actually pretty quiet most of the time and I really don’t know why. The food here is amazing, the staff are lovely and it’s all reasonably priced. Who doesn’t like a good pizza?

18. Maus Habitos. Porto, Portugal.

Very underrated spot. This place serves one of the best brunches in all of Europe and they’ve everything on offer. From the usual english sides like bacon and beans to the more traditional potugese dishes.

19. The Handlebar. Athens, Greece.

The Handlebar is on a quiet side street in Psyrri. With dishes such as kedgeree with smoked trout, freshly baked scones with homemade jam, a variety of sandwiches and flapjacks with raisins, just to mention a few. Without a doubt a place you have to get to at some point in your life!

21. Restaurant Terrazza Danieli. Venice, Italy.

This one is a bit more expensive than the rest, but it’s well worth it. This is easily the best brunch in Venice and, sadly, you will have to pay for that quality of stuff. Sadly too brunch is only on a Sunday here – but it’s a nice way to treat yourself.
