The Best Easter Brunch Specials In Boston
If you haven't booked a table for Easter brunch yet, make like a bunny and hop to it!
Easter is right around the corner, and whether you plan to spend the day hunting for candy-filled eggs or celebrating with loved ones, you'll want to fuel up with some delicious food before the festivities begin. You could whip something up in your own kitchen, but if you ask us, Easter brunch just tastes better when you don't have to cook it yourself.
That's where these Boston restaurants come in: All of them have pulled out all the stops on their special Easter menus, from croque madames and duck confit to signature cocktails and decadent desserts.
Even better, most of them have tempting prix fixe options that are only available on April 1. So hop to it and book your table before things book up. Happy Easter!
