Nothing says “Happy Mother’s Day” quite like brunch. It’s certainly become the most popular way to celebrate the day. While the coronavirus pandemic has resulted in a dine-in shutdown throughout the District, it doesn’t mean that Mother’s Day Brunch is canceled. Instead we get to think up new and creative ways to enjoy this celebratory tradition at home. Be it a leisurely brunch in bed, a bubble bath with mimosas, a backyard brunch picnic, a virtual brunch party, or a…
BRUNCHIN’ THE DISTRICT
District of Columbia | Maryland | Virginia
For your convenience, I’ve created this DC brunch page so that you can easily access my DC area brunch posts. Occasionally I post about my travel brunch experiences. You can find the complete listing of all of my brunch related blog posts under the “Food” category.
Washington, D.C. has no shortage of amazing brunch spots, but Pisco y Nazca has quickly risen to the top of the city’s bustling brunch scene. The Miami-based Peruvian-inspired gastrobar opened its doors in the District a year ago adding some much needed international flair to our brunch options. I first visited the restaurant for brunch shortly after it opened, and I’ve been obsessed ever since. It’s become one of my favorite DC restaurants for weekend brunch. Here are all the…
“On weekends, we brunch…” but let’s be honest, there are some weekends when you just want to do absolutely nothing! You know, those messy hair, braless, don’t-get-out-of-your-pajamas all day kind of weekends where cuddling with “bae,” or curling up with a good read, or just cozying in the sheets with Netflix is the only thing on your weekend agenda. Well the Saturday I ended up at Fig & Olive was intended to be one of those days. It was a…
Imagine biting into a waffle stuffed with fresh lobster meat! I know… sounds heavenly doesn’t it (cues hallelujah music)? Well I’m just here to tell you that there’s a place in DC that you can find this delicacy and it’s called B Too. Located on 14th street in the Logan Circle neighborhood, B Too is a Belgian restaurant whose brunch menu has so much swag it could very well be the Beyoncé of DC brunches. I first tried B Too’s lobster…
Shaw has surely stepped up its restaurant game lately with the opening of many new hot spots in the past two years. Convivial is one such restaurant, which brought fancy French-American fare to the neighborhood. The restaurant opened in 2015 and has already made its mark in the District, earning the #4 spot in Washingtonian’s “100 Very Best Restaurants.” The fried chicken and waffle, Convivial’s most popular brunch dish, has taken Instagram by storm. It was teasing my taste buds for way…
I first heard about Fuego Cocina from a coworker who raved about it being her go-to brunch spot in Clarendon. When she mentioned that it was just $19 for a three course Mexican meal with $2 brunch cocktails, this Brunch Belle may have gotten a tad too exited. Let’s be honest… this brunching lifestyle can get expensive! A brunch entrée alone can cost almost $19 at many DC restaurants; and three course or bottomless DC brunches usually run between $29 to $39. So I…
