Celebrating National Brunch Month
Brunch is probably my favorite meal of the day. To be honest, I can do brunch any time, any day, any week. Sometimes I want to just wake up with a tub of coffee and not eat until I’m hangry, which is around 10:30am. I used to miss Saturday New York brunches, and don’t get me wrong, I still do, but it’s nice that I can get one now in RVA. Heritage was the best Brunch I’ve had in town and I hope it comes back, until then, check out these ten choice spots:
NOTE: All photos were taken from their respective restaurant sites.
SB’s Lakeside Loveshack
Now with two locations (Lakeside & The Fan), this RVA spot is the jam (yes they serve that too). It’s kid friendly, the staff is excellent and the food hits the right spots, and the best theme ever.
Millie’s Diner
Opened Wed-Sunday, this RVA institution ranks high on everyone’s list. Be prepared to wait your turn, but the result is pure delight. Millie’s never disappoints when it comes to their brunch items or their daily specials (the biscuits and gravy are divine).
821 Cafe
If I want to feel at home, I go to 821 where I know everyone is going to treat me and my family well. This is my hangover cure brunch spot and they make a decent Bloody Mary. I also like that they have plentiful Vegetarian/Vegan options.
Kuba Kuba
You want something that is going to make you feel all warm and fuzzy? Kuba Kuba has one of the best brunches in RVA. The Roast Pork Omelet is on point and the portions here are plentiful. Pair it up with a Cafe con Leche and leave room for the Tres Leches, you’ll be rolled out accordingly.
Helen’s
Another RVA fave, Helen’s brunch is perfect and if you’re lucky to sit outside the people watching doesn’t disappoint (Hello, Walk-of-shamers!). Simple, Southern, and Delicious!
Partarre
This little hidden gem is a delight. Don’t want to stand at Perly’s? Check out this nestled yumfest at the Linden Row Inn. Get you a seat outside and enjoy the quaint and tranquil environment. The food is also delectable.
The Jefferson Champagne Brunch
Looking for something a bit more extravagant? You gotta do it at least once, if you can get a reservation. Perfect for moms and special occasions, this is a fun treat with a beautiful setting. Love their waffle station and so much to choose from!
Metzger Bar & Butchery
I have nothing but good things to say about Metzger. If you want to up your brunch game, this is the place to be. You are guaranteed to not only have a superb brunchtail, but you will not be disappointed by the brunchfare served here. So good.
Lunch.Supper.
I’m thankful I can still get brunch at lunch or supper. This place has always been a favorite of mine. I’ve always been a fan of their breakfast sandwich. The staff has always been kind and I love their Bloody Mary’s. Grab a seat outside and it can be a quite pleasant brunch spot. Afterwards, you can tour Scott’s Addition’s breweries.
THE CONTINENTAL
Give me that Limeaid! Lots of options and kid friendly, I love the old school vibe here. I’ve never had a bad brunch here and the food is great!
