Where To Find The Best Brunch In VA, DC 2020: Daily Meal

CLIFTON, VA— There's so much to love about brunch, from ham, bacon and sausage, to grits, chicken and waffles, or creative takes on eggs benedict. It's all tasty, and let's not forget cocktails, bloody Marys, mimosas and lemonade with a splash of bourbon. Brunch offers up comfort food like fritters, monkey bread, biscuits and deviled eggs.

The food writers at The Daily Meal website say more restaurants are paying attention to their brunch offerings to up their game. To give the deserving eateries recognition, the site recently posted its list of the Best Brunch in Every State. "Thankfully there are an increasing number of chefs demonstrating true skill and creative flair," the website wrote. "Their restaurants join the ranks of venerable standbys that have been turning out perfectly cooked brunches for decades, attracting legions of devoted fans in the process. So, in honor of the only meal that successfully combines two meals, we tracked down the very best restaurant for brunch in all 50 states and Washington, D.C."

The foodie site's selection for best brunch in Virginia is Trummer’s on Main (Clifton), 7134 Main St. in Clifton. Their pick for best brunch site in the District of Columbia is Seasons in the Four Seasons Hotel in Georgetown.

To find the best restaurant for brunch in every state, the Daily Meal editors looked at review sites for venues offering innovative menus, or those that go the extra mile to offer healthy, gluten-free and vegan-friendly options.

"These restaurants pay just as much attention to their brunch menu as their dinner menu (if they’re open for dinner at all), and they serve it in a lively space with just the right amount of celebratory fanfare," the website said.

Here's what The Daily Meal says of the Trummer's on Main brunch experience:

"This bright and charming Clifton, Virginia, destination is an upscale and elegant retreat run by the husband-and-wife duo of Stefan and Victoria Trummer. Executive chef Jon Cropf’s innovative tasting menus (and the largest wine cellar in the Mid-Atlantic) keep the dining room crowded at night, but the lesser-known Sunday brunch menu is easily worth the trip. Trummer’s on Main’s menu changes seasonally, but standouts include a fresh-baked pastry basket; cinnamon-sugar beignets; oysters; smoked salmon Benedict on brioche with lemon hollandaise; ricotta gnocchi with butternut squash and aged parmesan; and pork schnitzel with peppercorn gravy. Make sure to save room for chocolate bourbon pecan pie."

And here's their description for Seasons in Georgetown:

"The super-luxe Four Seasons Georgetown is home to Seasons, where power brokers rub shoulders with regular folks in search of Washington, D.C.’s finest brunch buffet. Diners can enjoy a selection of meat, fish and game (grilled lamb chops, Maryland crab cakes, seafood gumbo); seafood (shrimp cocktail, oysters, house-smoked salmon, snapper ceviche); omelets with many fillings; assorted cheeses and charcuterie; and an astounding selection of house-made desserts."
