Go to Beauty's for brunch or breakfast. I love the mishmash of this place, which has been operating since 1942 and has consistently been voted best place for breakie and brunch.

Go for Sunday brunch in one of the city's most beautiful rooms: the Garden Court at the Palace Hotel. Refurbished and charming with fabulous light, the setting is perfect for not-at-all-your-typical buffet. There are choices from generous American specialties to a Japanese section from the hotel's A-1 restaurant, Kyo-Ya and Chinese food as well as seafood and, well, it must be experienced (with champagne, of course).

Best weekend brunch place in the city. This very cool Mission eatery is where the club kids go to come down and where the bedheads go to get some coffee. The eggs benedict is a must.

Joe's Grill is the one of the best breakfast/brunch places I've ever been too. The service is quick and friendly, the prices are cheap, the portions are big and most importantly, delicious!!

It's a perfect place to sit and watch the world go by, read the papers or eat away a hangover!!

Best brunch in the city. Experience the real San Francisco - chances are you will be the only tourists. It's an easy bart ride to 24th street or better still get the J (Church) tram from the downtown.

No self-respecting Berliner goes for long without indulging in one of Berlin's famous weekend brunches. To be found in cafes all over the city on weekends, a buffet brunch usually costs between €6 and €9 and you can stay for hours, fill up on anything from olives to curry, relax, chat and leave feeling truly nourished. Perhaps the quintessential Berlin culinary and social experience.

This place is indispensable for brunches. It's usually pretty quiet on a Saturday/Sunday morning, which makes it very relaxing for the hungover. Try the peanut butter and banana malt and pancakes with bacon and maple syrup.

A three-floored restaurant on the north side of the Smithfield meat market. Downstairs is a lively cocktail bar and restaurant, which does a very good bacon sandwich and chips for breakfast, on the middle level is a brasserie serving good food and at the top is one of London's top restaurants with a great (and pricey) menu where the meat is superb and the fish is delicious too. It also has a terrace which makes it a great spot in the summer.

This is my local so I won't be dissing it. Cosy cafe in the heart of the vibrant Vesterbro neighbourhood. Award-winning brunch and a great menu in general.

Expect to wait longer for your nosh than other cafes as they prepare it lovingly from scratch. Spend the time enjoying a quality beer.

Zakabona is at Istedgade 88. Ten minutes from the central station. On the corner of Dannebrogsgade.
Brunch is from 10:30-14 (weekdays) and 10-15 (weekends). 99 kroner.

The hot spot for young, hungover city dwellers. You're lucky to get a table on a Saturday but try the Hang-over Brunch and, if necessary, order a painkiller pill with it.

Brunch is served from 10-13 except Saturday 10-12 and Sunday 10-15.

Any Copenhagener worth their salt knows exactly where the best brunch can be had. Rumours and info about brunch places fly around faster than gossip about whether or not the Queen's husband is a queen.

Brunch is fundamental to trendy Copenhagen life and cafés know how hard the competition is. The result being extraordinary efforts in brunchness, with modern twists on the theme.

For breakfast, Bills is a Sydney institution. There are two locations - Crown Street in Surry Hills and Darlinghurst. Must trys are ricotta hotcakes or the sweetcorn fritters. Make sure you do brunch at least one day of your stay as I swear nowhere in the UK does brunch like Sydney does. If you can't get to Bills and want a view Ripples cafe across the harbour from the city is a lovely place for brunch. Yellow at Potts Point Maclay Street is also good.

The best breakfasts in America - the blueberry pancakes are to die for, though my sister swears by the banana and pecan ones. Absolutely no frills, but friendly service and great food make this a must for breakfast if you're visiting Boston.

A perfect place for Sunday morning brunch, tucked away in the East Village. You have to get there (preferably armed with your copy of Sunday's NY Times) before it opens at 10am, as it's small and gets incredibly busy - and rightly so. The menu is a collection of brunch classics with a twist ... and, because you're on holiday, there are nine different bloody mary's to choose from. I had something that involved spicy chick peas and a poached egg. I think it was probably the best breakfast I've ever had, but the combination of jet-lag, a bloody mary and managing to bag a table right in the window put me in such a state of euphoria that a Little Chef fry up would have tasted wonderful.

A great breakfast/brunch place which does amazing pancakes and fruit smoothies in a fun environment. Get there early on the weekend though, or be prepared to queue - this place is popular!

Hidden away on Clinton Street, which at first doesn't seem the greatest location. This is THE place for blueberry pancakes in NYC. They are light fluffy and come with delicious maple butter syrup. The other delicacy here is their buttermilk biscuits. American biscuits are more like scones and these were lovely with scrambled eggs or jam. It's the perfect place for brunch on a Saturday or Sunday but get there before 10am as it fills up really quickly.
