мы приехали не к завтраку, а к концу обеда
We didn't make it for breakfast, but arrived by the end of lunch
We didn't make it for breakfast. When we arrived, they were finishing lunch.

Elena, the AND is weird in this sentence. If anything, you should've used BUT (RATHER), or just broken this up into two sentences like Galina did. Also, BY is kind of "military" here in that it makes it sound like you had orders to get there by breakfast and didn't make it.
Oh, okay. Thx
Anytime)
+Elena: although a comma would have been nice)
Thank you)
You got it!
