Flip the script on the usual romantic dinner obligation at Tanzie's, where spicy Thai lava eggs bring the heat, but brunch hours keep it casual. For a dash of fancy, book a reservation for their prix fixe option. For another just-another-day-date option, grab a beer and some seafood comfort food at Sailing Goat. The Richmond hotspot has live music, great views, and a crowd-pleasing menu for day and night noshing, plus a walk-in only policy ideal for last-minute decision makers.

Garten's recipe only needs four ingredients - eggs, mustard, dill, and bread.

Fresh eggs: You'll use two large eggs per ramekin. Butter or oil: This creates a rich base that prevents sticking. For a dairy-free version, substitute with olive oil. Optional toppings: I like adding a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese to each dish for best flavor. Baking dishes: Small ramekins or ceramic dishes work best. I use 5-inch ramekins that are just the right size for two eggs.

Brunch in NYC isn't just a meal, it's a serious affair. And when it comes to embracing this passion, nowhere does it better than the East Village. Sure, the East Village is recognized for its diverse cultures and unique boutiques, but it's also a haven for brunch enthusiasts. Are you craving a gourmet eggs Benedict or a trendy avocado toast? This neighborhood doesn't disappoint!

When you need a quiet meal near Union Square-or a place to take visiting parents for a solid brunch-Bombay Brasserie fits the bill. Part of a global chain, this Indian-French spot inside the Taj Campton hotel is the first US outpost. The "" influence is limited mostly to a tartine and a crepe on the brunch menu, but the food has enough range to please nearly anyone.

The restaurant's first-ever brunch service will include a Big Mac mantou (a steamed bun with cheesy beef, onions, kimchi, and Russian dressing), a McRib bao (a bao bun made with pork rib and Chinese barbecue sauce), a Filet o Fish bao (fried fish on a bao with American cheese), and more whimsical fast food creations. There will also be drag performances and cocktails.

Marry Me Chicken has charmed dining tables everywhere over the last few years. Most of the time, it's the crown jewel of candlelit dinners and weeknight meals, the kind of dish you've probably been dreaming about all day. It really doesn't get any better than chicken breasts, seared to golden brown perfection and smothered in a creamy, Italian-inspired sauce. And what happens when we carry that magic over to brunches?

This former laundromat in Hermosa Beach has a storied history as a Mexican, Cantonese, and dinner-focused bar and grill of the same name it now bears: Martha's. But since 2018, the legendary South Bay restaurant has become a daily gathering spot for seaside breakfast with some of the friendliest service in Los Angeles. It's also become a regular weekend brunch haunt for our family, where servers are quick to bring high chairs and crayons for kids and portions are big enough that takeout boxes seem prerequisite.

Rife with savory bacon and cheddar, loaded baked potatoes are a classic dinner staple; but who said you can't enjoy them all day long? Whether you add a sprinkle of cheese to your scrambled eggs, pair bacon with pancakes, or plate breakfast potatoes with sausages, each ingredient finds its way to the table in the mornings - so why not have them together to make breakfast loaded potatoes?

Krasi is the crown jewel of the Xenia Greek Hospitality group, a polished Back Bay gem that showcases the best of Mediterranean culinary flavors and a renowned Greek wine list. While dinner takes on a more moody, candlelit ambiance, it's the daytime brunch that is a bustling affair that requires reservations well in advance. Prepare to scooch around tightly packed tables and trip over stray bags, but it's all worth it in the name of the brunch menu.

But thanks to anchoring venues like McCormick Place and Wintrust Arena ensuring regular visitors in need of convenient restaurants and catered event spaces, businesses south of Roosevelt and closer to Cermak might finally be gaining a foothold. Past 18th Street, places like Apolonia, Burger Point, Southern Chicago, Batters and Berries, Il Culaccino, and Momentum Coffee have been giving the neighborhood walkable culinary destinations, variety, and hope for the future.

Every Sunday at Be.Steak.A, located in the Pruneyard shopping center, a $135-per-person buffet featuring about 130 different items takes over part of the dining room, the bar and even the kitchen. There are omelet, Belgian waffle and carving stations, a self-serve caviar bar and an over-the-top dessert selection. "We're doing something that nobody else is doing in the Bay Area at this point," said chef and owner Jeffrey Stout.

Also known variously as breakfast casserole and egg dish, strata is an American brunch favourite that, according to the great US chef Sohla El-Waylly, is best described as the love child of frittata and bread pudding, while the dish's name comes from the fact that it's assembled in layers. Like all the best leftovers recipes, those layers are eminently flexible, but what all strata have in common are stale bread and eggs. The rest is largely up to you.

With a buttery, flaky pastry base and a rich, savory filling, quiche strikes the perfect balance between elegance and heartiness. This brunch favorite is typically made with eggs, heavy cream, cheese, and a medley of meat- or veggie-based add-ins, yielding a creamy, protein-rich dish that can feed a crowd. Quiche can be enjoyed warm or cold, and it makes for a delicious addition to a buffet-style lunch, served alongside a selection of complementary sides.

These are options that never go out of style, meaning you can make them for grandparents or grandkids, and everyone will find something to like about the dish. These use traditional flavors that will work with anything else you want to serve at the dessert table. Whether you want a recipe for a layered cake or fruit compote, we've got a bit of everything to keep you inspired.

Try the crispy chicken thigh karaage, fried in a feather-light batter and doused with a tangy chile-honey sauce. The sweet-and-spicy interplay feels like some of the fried chicken glazes you might find in Koreatown. At brunch, try the tamagoyaki-style omelet, an oval spiral of luminous golden eggs sliced and crowned with shaved Comté, chives, and cracked black pepper.

We don't think anything perks up a Saturday more than a brunch excursion. Obviously, your brunch doesn't have to be anything fancy - there's no shortage of great brunch spots across the U.S., and sometimes the best breakfast is a simple, well-executed pancake plate. On special occasions, though, you may want something a bit more upscale: a fancy brunch that you can dress up for, where you'll eat in a gorgeous atmosphere and get good food to boot.

There's something comforting about brunch: It's the meal you have when you have a little extra time to spend enjoying some quality time with friends and family, or are just treating yourself to a little much-needed me-time. It's no secret that some brunch-time staples are challenging, and if you're still trying to master eggs Benedict, it's the perfect reason to head out to a local spot.
