Better Luck Tomorrow

Powerhouse cocktail bar and kitchen Better Luck Tomorrow hosts a weekend brunch that you won’t want to wait ’til tomorrow for.

Get hangover hashbrowns loaded with gravy, cheese and pickles, custard french toast with angostura crème fraîche, and a don’t-knock-it-til-you-try-it spaghetti sandwich.

Saturdays & Sundays 11am to 3:30pm.

Field & Tides

Refined Southern comfort spot Field & Tides is where you want to go to get your seafood fix, with brunch offerings like blue crab avocado toast, spiced cracklin’ redfish, and lobster eggs benny alongside other elevated brunch classics. 

Pair them with stellar house Bloody Marys, micheladas, and sangria.

Jūn

One of the most exciting new additions to the neighborhood (and the entire city) is this New Asian American stunner from uber-talented Top Chef star Evelyn Garcia and culinary whiz Henry Lu.

Every dish at Jūn is next level, from the general tso chicken and scallion waffles to the Chinese sausage congee, the shrimp aguachile & heirloom grits, too.

Maison Pucha Bistro

At posh French-American spot Maison Pucha Bistro—from brothers Manuel (chef), Victor Hugo (pastry chef), and Cristian Pucha (GM and beverage director)—weekend brunch offerings run the gamut from fresh pastry baskets packed with croissants, gougeres and seasonal fruit jam to Ecuadorian shrimp ceviche, quiche lorraine, and steak frites bearnaise.

Savoir

You’ll get a French country feel plus wines and shareable bites like charcuterie, biscuits and jam, wood-fired pizzas, and a sampling of French fries at the ever chic Savoir.

Share a few plates, and go for main events from buttermilk blueberry pancakes with whipped mascarpone to brisket hash.

Squable

Settle into a booth or patio table at neighborhood standout Squable, which comes from industry vets Bobby Heugel and Justin Yu.

Executive chef Mark Clayton helms the talented kitchen, putting out fan favorite brunch dishes including the dutch baby pancake with bacon and maple butter; egg topped lè brunch burger; and oyster mushroom hash.
