American and Continental Breakfast

In this article we will provide you the information about American and Continental Breakfast.

What is continental Breakfast

The continental breakfast is called that way because it resembles buffets on the European continent, but it was adapted to Brazilian lands, as this model of morning meal is served by hotels in buffet format.

Thus, guests serve themselves according to their preferences and eat only what they feel like. Generally, the buffet is set up on several tables and features a variety of foods enjoyed by all.

In this colonial buffet, served in the hotels, the traveler can expect different ingredients, products and recipes of the most varied styles, such as toast, butter, jam, cakes, yogurts, cheeses, sausages and, as an accompaniment, tea or coffee.

frugal coffee

This is the most common breakfast included option. It’s almost a “snack” so you don’t leave the hotel on an empty stomach. It usually includes:

toast
cornflakes
Some types of sweet breads (such as muffins and donuts)
Orange juice
Milk
Coffee

Something really simple. Still, if your hotel offers a continental breakfast, I think it’s worth taking advantage of. It won’t be the most amazing meal of the day, but it will give you energy to start the parks and save you the time and money we talked about. By the way, for those who don’t want to get fat, the continental breakfast is an excellent choice, since it has fewer options and, therefore, less temptations.

American breakfast

he American breakfast is the typical American breakfast. Many lodgings use this concept to bring a differentiated gastronomic experience to guests.

These types of breakfasts have a good variety of American products and recipes, such as creamy scrambled eggs, fried bacon, pancakes, sausages, breads, toast and cereal with milk.

Despite being a breakfast, we can say that this morning meal is almost like breakfast in the United States. That’s because it is well served and has ingredients rich in calories and proteins. So normally you won’t feel like having lunch so early.

This is the typical American breakfast that we are used to seeing in movies and series. This breakfast is so incredible that I made another detailed post just talking about it ! I’ll just quote everything you normally find in an American Breakfast:

pancakes
waffles
French toast
Bacon
Sausage (breakfast sausage)
Eggs (scrambled, fried, omelet…)
Potatoes (hash browns and home fries)
Donut
biscuits
toast
maple syrup
Peanut Butter
Jelly
Coffee
Milk
Orange and other fruit juice
Fruits (in syrup, orange and banana)
yogurts
cornflakes

The benefits of having breakfast included:

That said, as Florida receives more and more Brazilians, many hotels have joined the idea of offering breakfast included in the daily rate. They know this is a big draw for us because:

Time savings: drinking coffee directly at the hotel‘s restaurant saves you time. You don’t need to go after a breakfast restaurant, where you will spend two hours before starting the day’s schedule .
Ease in the day to day of the trip: when you are staying at a house or flat , you need to prepare coffee and then wash the dishes that were used. That is: more time and energy spent that could be invested in parks, lol.
Financial savings: even more if you get one of those super common promotions on Booking.com . And then, with coffee included, you don’t need to buy these items at Walmart , that is, more money to spend at the outlet.
