Why Avocado Is a Brunch Favourite
Avocado earned its place at the heart of brunch by being both delicious and adaptable. Its smooth, buttery flesh works as a base, a topping or a partner to almost anything, from a perfectly poached egg to a slice of smoked salmon. It brings healthy fats, a satisfying creaminess and a fresh, green note that balances richer ingredients. Crucially, it photographs beautifully too, which is part of why avocado dishes became such a social media sensation. But beyond the hype, the simple truth is that avocado just tastes wonderful at brunch.
Avocado and Eggs
The classic pairing of avocado and eggs is a brunch match made in heaven. The richness of a runny egg yolk against the creaminess of avocado is hard to beat, especially with a little seasoning and a squeeze of lemon. At Rendezvous, our premium egg sets bring this combination to life with options such as avocado, feta, bacon and hollandaise, avocado and salmon, or avocado, spinach, mushroom and paprika. Each is a generous, satisfying plate that puts avocado centre stage alongside our well-cooked eggs. If you love your eggs, our eggs benedict and breakfast eggs guide has more to explore.
Smashed Avocado and Toppings
Smashed avocado on toast remains a brunch staple for good reason. The technique is simple, ripe avocado mashed with seasoning and a little lemon or lime, but the toppings are where the fun begins. Feta adds a salty tang, chilli flakes bring warmth, poached eggs add protein and richness, and smoked salmon turns it into something special. The beauty of avocado is that it provides a creamy, neutral canvas, ready to take on whatever flavours you love. Our premium egg sets let you enjoy these combinations in a satisfying, restaurant-style plate.
A Naturally Vegetarian Choice
Avocado dishes are a brilliant option for vegetarians, and many can suit plant-based diets too. On its own with toast, or paired with feta, spinach and mushroom, avocado makes a fresh, filling meat-free brunch. It is a great example of how exciting vegetarian eating can be, and our vegetarian and vegan guide has plenty more meat-free ideas. Whether or not you eat meat, an avocado plate is a lighter, fresher alternative to a full fry-up.
Is Avocado a Healthy Brunch?
Avocado has a well deserved reputation as a wholesome ingredient. It is rich in healthy monounsaturated fats, fibre and a range of vitamins and minerals, and it helps you feel pleasantly full. Paired with eggs for protein and wholegrain toast for slow-release energy, an avocado brunch makes a genuinely balanced and sustaining meal. As ever, it is all about enjoying good ingredients in good company, and avocado is one of those rare foods that manages to be indulgent and nourishing at the same time.
Avocado Brunch for Any Time of Day
One of the joys of brunch at Rendezvous is that you do not need to rush to enjoy it. Because we serve our brunch dishes all day, an avocado plate is just as welcome in the early afternoon as it is mid-morning. It is the perfect choice when you want something fresh and satisfying without the heaviness of a full fry-up. Pair it with a freshly made coffee or a fruit smoothie, and you have a brunch that feels both modern and indulgent.

How to Choose a Perfect Avocado
Part of what makes avocado so special is also what makes it tricky: timing. A perfectly ripe avocado yields gently to a soft squeeze without feeling mushy, with flesh that is creamy and green. Too firm and it will be hard and flavourless, too soft and it turns stringy and brown. The skin of a ripe avocado tends to darken, and the little stem at the top should come away easily to reveal green beneath. Getting it right is the difference between a good avocado dish and a great one, which is exactly why having someone else prepare it for you, at its creamy best, is part of the pleasure of ordering avocado out. At Rendezvous, our kitchen takes care of all that, so every avocado plate arrives ripe, fresh and ready to enjoy, paired just how you like it with eggs, salmon or feta.
