From Los Angeles to New York City, Chicago to Miami, these are 20 of the best brunch spots across America.
A shared plate of French toast, endless mimosas and so much coffee. This is what great brunch is made of. It’s not a meal you rush, but rather a two hour-plus experience that gathers friends and family over a table for laughs and bloody marys.
It’s our favorite meal of the week, so we asked our editors across the country to name the best brunch spots in their cities. Here, we gather a name from each, so you can enjoy top-tier brunch no matter where life takes you.
Los Angeles – The Draycott
15255 Palisades Village Lane, Pacific Palisades; 310-573-8938
The brainchild of husband-and-wife duo Matt and Marissa Hermer (named after London’s Draycott Avenue, where the couple first met), the California-esque Brasserie is known for its enticing lunch and dinner menus—and, in true Draycott fashion, its brunch menu follows suit, boasting seasonal fare with a British twist. A beautiful mix of savory—think venison scotch egg; smoked salmon with a cornbread pancake and soft-poached eggs; and the wagyu beef Draycott burger (a feast for the eyes and belly)—and sweet—notables being the blueberry pancakes and brown sugar pudding—this is one menu you simply can’t refuse. And don’t forget a libation to pair, with staple mimosas and Bloody Marys featured alongside the Brit-favorite Pimm’s cup and refreshing Gin Rickey.
