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…
If you follow me on Instagram, or read my Cliffside Brunching post, you already know that I recently visited Anguilla… the place I call home. It was surely good to be home! As cliché as it may be, the saying is true; there’s really no place like home. There’s always something comforting about returning to the familiar.

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…
If you are a Washingtonian, you are likely aware that Tabard Inn’s brunch has become a staple of Washington, DC, long holding the coveted spot as the city’s best brunch. So naturally I had to make it the subject of my first DC brunch post. I am a bit ashamed to admit however, that I only recently tried their brunch menu. I know what you are thinking… how can I call myself the Brunch Belle right? But hold up; don’t…
So you’ve probably already checked out my About Page and gotten yourself familiar with the concept behind Brunch Belle, but below I’ve provided a little fun snapshot of the “girl behind the blog.” I prefer… Coffee to tea I despise tea… of any kind!
