Mimosa Flights, Beignets And More: Where To Brunch This Weekend

Whether I’m in Cambridge, Charlestown, the South End or Back Bay, there’s one thing you can find me doing every Sunday — brunching!

From menu items like everything bagel pizza to restaurants that serve mimosa flights, check out some of my recommendations for where to brunch this weekend in and around Boston.

Bar Mezzana | South End

Since opening in the Ink Block neighborhood of the South End in March 2016, Bar Mezzana has quickly become one of the city’s hottest spots. The brunch menu has all of their brilliant crudo plates along with some wonderful sweets, pasta dishes and brunch cocktails. Check it out for a taste of the Amalfi coast in Boston.

Buttermilk & Bourbon | Back Bay

Buttermilk & Bourbon is a great Southern-style restaurant on Commonwealth Avenue in the Back Bay from acclaimed Chef Jason Santos. Its Sunday brunch menu is filled with lots of Southern classics and unique dishes — buttermilk fried chicken and waffles, chicken fried steak and biscuits, fried beignets, red velvet pancakes and more. Pair any of the dishes with a soft serve mimosa!

Five Horses Tavern | Davis Square & South End

I only know one restaurant in Boston where I can get mimosa flights and a hefty stack of French toast sticks, and that’s at Five Horses Tavern. You’ll also find more than 40 rotating drafts and 60 different types of bottled beers, super soft pretzels, shakshuka and more at this spot's Davis Square and the South End locations.

Waypoint | Harvard Square

For probably the most delicious pancakes I’ve ever had, check out Waypoint’s Sunday Brunch. I’m drooling just thinking about their brown butter pancakes topped with whipped vanilla mascarpone, maple syrup, and walnut granola. Other favorites from this Harvard Square spot include their everything bagel pizza, bucatini carbonara, and the potato latke Benedict.

Monument Restaurant & Tavern | Charlestown

Monument Restaurant & Tavern is a wonderful American restaurant in Charlestown serving a delicious and expansive brunch menu on Saturdays and Sundays. Try their bacon Benedict and breakfast pizza. Or, if you have a sweet tooth (like me), go for their delicious lemon and poppyseed buttermilk pancakes.
