Breakfast anyone?

There should be an entire blog dedicated to breakfasts from around the world, honoring  cultural richness with appetizing photographs like the ones shot below by Angus Fergusson for enRoute Air Canada magazine.  Let's all dream together and pretend we're having brunch in . . . 
(from top to bottom) St. John’s, Newfoundland * Frankfurt, Germany * São Paulo, Brazil or Beijing, China. . .bon appétit!

a RUMI brunch...

I love to brunch on weekends and Montréal offers a plethora of choices.  
This past weekend my beau-père treated Mark and me to a delicious Middle Eastern brunch at Rumi, located in Montréal's picturesque Outremont neighborhood.  I had the assiette du levant (plate from the east or Mediterranean Plate) which included: Lebanese cucumbers, tomatoes, feta, olives, mint, home made assorted jams, naan, and black tea.  My husband ordered the NAJI, which was an omelette with Sujuk (Turkish sausage). We shared both dishes and it was the perfect combo. 
I've also heard amazing comments about their second location on Boulevard St-Laurent, which offers take out and delivery, Rumi Grill and Café.  
I can't wait to check it out.  NOTE: Rumi's philosophy = traditional cooking + local produce from Québec!
