In our Where to Brunch series, we search Houston’s vast array of neighborhoods for the very best brunch offerings.
With the restaurant-heavy Memorial City Mall and CityCentre, this teeny area of town is an absolute brunch destination.
Here’s a look at the best of the bunch.
Note: For the purposes of this list, Memorial City is defined by this map.
Where to Brunch around Memorial
The General Public
Sitting pretty in the bustling CityCentre, posh pub The General Public offers farm-fresh food and a fun time.
Sip $1 mimosas while you take down Cinnamon French Toast with fresh berries and whip; crushed tomato Shakshuka with buttered baguette; and Three Egg Omelet Sandwiches stacked with bacon, tomato, mayo, arugula, and melty cheddar.
Those looking for something a bit lunchier can dig into Shrimp Caesar, Bacon Burgers, and Green Chile Grilled Cheese.
Saturday and Sunday 11am to 3pm.
Radio Milano
Order Italian-style brunch and lunch plates a la carte, or go for the gold with a three-course prix fixe feast for $30.
Start with a creamy, dreamy burrata salad or light, refreshing parfait; move onto mains like Grand Marnier French toast or hanger steak & eggs; and finish with sweet stuff like tiramisu, bread pudding, or housemade fruit sorbet.
Add bottomless mimosas for $10.
Sunday 10am to 3pm.
Sal y Pimienta
Go outside the brunch box with a South American buffet, featuring a rotating selection of everything from whole suckling pig and grass-fed tenderloin served with chimichurri, to chilaquiles with sunny-side up eggs.
Oh, and empanadas, ceviche, crab and yuca cakes, and quatro leches.
Cost is $32.99 per person, plus tax and gratuity; and you can add on endless bevys for $16.
Sunday 11am to 3pm.
State Fare Kitchen & Bar
Come with a crew to State Fare Kitchen & Bar.
That way, you can go splitskys on gutbusters like the Bayou Bacon Wrapped Shrimp, Birria Benedict, Southern Fried Chicken & Biscuit Sandwich, and XXL Bacon Praline Griddle Cake.
There are salads, too, if you’re into that.
Saturday and Sunday 9am to 2:30pm.
Tipping Point Restaurant & Terrace
Head to Hotel ZaZa’s Tipping Point Restaurant & Terrace for al fresco dining and a lounge experience overlooking the Beach Club.
Brunch options include Breakfast Tostada with smoked sausage, hatch chili, and Oaxaca cheese; Bourbon Brioche French Toast; Everything Bagel & Lox; and Spicy Crispy Chicken.
Tack on morning cocktails like the Elote Mary or Toasted Maple Martini (which is like waffles and syrup in drink form).
Daily open to 2pm.
