Where to eat

For breakfast

Rome awakens to a breakfast culture that beautifully blends its rich traditions with a lively, contemporary edge. As the city stirs, the aroma of freshly baked pastries fills the air, guiding you to quaint cafes where the ritual of morning coffee - whether a brisk espresso or a creamy cappuccino - is a revered art form. Embrace the Roman morning with a sweet or creamy cornetto, letting this simple yet profound pleasure set the tone for your day amidst the backdrop of the city's ancient splendor.

In Italy, breakfast is typically brief but enchanting, focusing on quality over quantity with a good espresso or cappuccino paired with a fine pastry. Here are some personal favourite spots to enjoy these morning delights in Rome.

For Coffee:

In Rome, coffee is more than a beverage; it's a cornerstone of daily life and culture, savored in bustling cafes and quiet corners alike. Romans prefer their coffee strong and quick, often standing at the bar for a swift espresso shot, embodying the city's fast-paced yet deeply traditional spirit.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Jacqui Toumbas
As a Australian-born with roots deeply embedded in the rich soil of Cypriot heritage, I bring to the table a zest for life that's as diverse as my background. With a professional footing in nutrition and a passion for cooking, I've always found joy in the art of curating wholesome meals, believing that food is more than sustenance; it's a universal language of love and a bridge between cultures. This belief was the cornerstone of my journey as the owner of Miss Bliss, a café that wasn't just a place to dine but a haven where people came together over the love of good food. Transitioning from café owner to a content creator, my adventures have taken me from the local streets of West End Brisbane to the breathtaking landscapes of Italy, with a special fondness for Puglia. Here, I discovered a slow, savoured life, where every meal tells a story, and every landscape holds a poem. It's this essence of travel - the slow unveiling of a place's soul through its food, people, and culture - that I wish to share with the world. My approach to food and travel goes beyond the mere act of eating or visiting places. It's about understanding the narrative behind every dish, the history woven into the cobblestones of ancient towns, and the silent tales of the rolling countryside. Through my content, I aim to inspire others to not just see the world but to feel it, taste it, and understand it. My journey is a testament to the belief that travel should be an immersive experience, where slow travel and authentic connections pave the way for memories that last a lifetime. From exploring different cultures and cuisines to sharing everything I love about my own culture and food, my goal is to encourage people to fall in love with the world's diversity. Join me as I continue to explore, create, and share the beauty of slow travel, the richness of authentic cuisines, and the joy of making the world a smaller, more connected place, one story at a time.
