The Drunch: The art of evening conviviality
BETWEEN BRUNCH AND DINNER, A TREND THAT IS REINVENTING EVENING MEALS
Origin of Drunch
The word "drunch" is a fusion of the terms "dinner" and "lunch" . This concept emerged in the 2000s in large cities, where the pace of life is accelerating and consumption patterns are evolving to meet more flexible schedules and desires for less formal meals.
In a context where brunch has already succeeded in seducing a wide audience by combining breakfast and lunch, drunch has come to meet a new demand : that of a moment of conviviality in the evening, without the heaviness of a formal dinner.
Inspired by the famous brunch — which combines "breakfast" and "lunch" to offer a gourmet and relaxed experience — drunch offers an original alternative to the classic dinner . It is a meal for those who wish to enjoy a moment of sharing and indulgence at the end of the day, without the commitment of a full and sophisticated meal.
This formula invites you to relax around small plates , festive drinks , and a more informal atmosphere , allowing guests to enjoy tasty, light and varied dishes , while maintaining the warm spirit of brunch.
The concept of Drunch
Drunch is somewhere between dinner and aperitif , usually served in the late afternoon or early evening, often between 5pm and 8pm. It is the ideal time when the appetite begins to awaken, but when one does not necessarily want a heavy and copious meal. Drunch meets this desire for lightness while offering a gourmet and friendly experience , where variety and sharing are at the heart of the formula.
The aim of the drunch is to create a relaxed meeting space, far from the formality of the traditional dinner. Here, friends, colleagues or families meet for a moment of conviviality , around small plates to share , in the style of tapas or mezzés.
The atmosphere is relaxed , conducive to relaxation and exchanges , without the rigid framework of a meal at the table. Guests can nibble, discover varied flavors , and linger without pressure around various dishes and selected drinks.
Drunch offers a varied selection of dishes, from light bites to more gourmet options, to satisfy all tastes. The menu often includes small portions of dishes inspired by different cuisines of the world , vegetarian and vegan options, and flavors of the moment, highlighting seasonal ingredients . The drinks, whether festive like cocktails or comforting like infusions, complete this experience in a balanced way.
Why choose a drunch?
Drunch is ideal for people looking for a friendly moment , who do n't want to sit down for a full dinner.
It's also perfect for those who want to have an early dinner , for example before a party or event.
This formula is often accompanied by light and gourmet dishes, perfect for combining the aperitif and the meal in a single experience.
In addition, it allows you to discover a great diversity of flavors , each plate being designed to offer an overview of different culinary influences.
