Could you please tell me which sentence is correct ?
It is an exercise about simple present (and a sentence to translate - à quelle heure prends tu ton petit déjeuner ?)
I hesitate...
at what time do you have breakfast ?
or
at what time do you take breakfast ?

The "at" can stay. It sounds more formal, but there's nothing wrong with that.
I think the first sentence is more common and probably more what you mean to say, but the second sentence is kind of charming. When it comes to meals, at least in American English, "take" is used most often with tea. If it's used with a meal that isn't tea, the meal is probably fancy and someone is bringing the food to you. Like, if you were staying at a very nice hotel, you could take breakfast in your room at 8:00. Or if you could afford a personal chef, you could take breakfast on the patio when the weather is nice.
