In Dallas, brunch is a contact sport that ends in clinking glasses and the finest preparation of eggs, pancakes, and pastries. This is why it’s essential to know exactly where to find French toast worth going to the mats for, crispy bacon worth waiting for, and the strongest mimosas one can find to block out the memory of how long it took to get a table.
This city is littered with excellent brunch options, but these options are worth putting on the bucket list.

One of the Metroplex’s best bakeries adds brunch to its menu. Stop in for a ham and cheese quiche, a Benedict with mojo pork and chimichurri sauce, or chilaquilies — to name a few of the new items.
A little bit of Tex-Mex for brunch never hurt anyone. This spot has a weekend brunch that’s over the top, including a stunning french toast topped with chocolate coffee pecan liquor chocolate mousse. And the margs are pretty damn good too.
That’s right, North Dallas has a solid brunch spot with this bar and grill. Who could resist ordering a sticky bun skillet or a monte cristo? It also has a seafood omelette and crab cakes worth trying, as well as jalapeno cheese grits.
This West Dallas Mediterranean spot from Lynae Fearing and Tracy Rathbun’s Far Hospitality added a brunch service worth trying. Order up the peppered bacon and truffled soft scrambled egg flatbread. Or go for the decadent lemon ricotta french toast with vanilla maple syrup and a sweet and tart Italian berry jelly. It’s available only on Sundays from noon to 3 p.m.
There aren’t many brunch options in East Dallas, so this new neighborhood bistro adding one is hugely welcome. Drop in for eggs in purgatory, a croque-madame, or a Lakewood Latke served with eggs and bacon.
This Uptown French bistro does brunch better than most places. Order a house made sticky pecan bun for the table, and then consider the hanger steak and eggs. For something more savory, the baked egg and piperade (eggs in a sea of tomatoes and red peppers) is un grand succès.
If Georgie is down in the books as a dinner only place, great news: its doing brunch as well, and doing it well. The menu takes the ideas of classic brunch items and spins them back on their heels. For example, the chicken and waffles is made with roast chicken, sourdough waffles, whipped honey butter, and the in-house hot sauce. There’s a vegan chorizo taco and a few salad options for the meat-free. And and array of spritzes to broaden the palette from the land of mimosas.
If you were already seeking out great mimosas, cut out the middle man and head to this Champagne bar for its new brunch service on Sundays from noon until 4 p.m. Pair that brunch cocktail with vegetable strata, a breakfast pie gratin, or decadent Bananas Foster french toast.
Brunch doesn’t have to be fancy. It just has to be good. This spot does big dishes in a relaxed atmosphere. If a big, classic breakfast meal scratches the brunch itch — think chicken with biscuits and gravy, a classic egg plate with all the fixings, or breakfast tacos, head here. And try the Red Stella, a mix of Bloody Marys and Stella Artois.
Have brunch and chase it with a keg of wine, too. Sixty Vines offers a top notch dutch baby, almond chiffon french toast, and avocado eggs Benedict, plus pastas, mix and match boards, pizzas, and shared plates (that’s where you can get your Brussels sprouts in).
For a brunch like no other in Dallas, head to Crown Block. It offers an all-inclusive option served half in buffet style, with stations for bagels and baked goods, carved meats, a fish bar, desserts, cereal, a Bloody Mary bar, and coffees. The main dish is ordered from a menu of duck hash, wagyu croquetta Benedict, masa pancakes, and more. It costs $80 per person and more with add-ons, and the stations are open for multiple servings. Service is only on Sundays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
One of the most beloved brunch spots in town is back, as is its classic deviled egg avocado toast and corned beef hash. And, in a cool move, it is creating a zero-waste cocktail program and offering sustainable wines — that means weekend brunch is good for the environment. You practically have to go.
While this Bishop Arts doesn’t differentiate its menu for brunch per se, but by day and night meals, diners can get brunch-ish food most days. The monte cristo and duck bacon sandwiches are great brunch-adjacent options, or just full commit with the bread pudding French toast.
Where are the cool kids brunching? This is it. Pop in for brisket hash, huevos rancheros, or the stuffed chicken and blueberry waffle sandwich — and more on a menu created by Taco Y Vino head honcho Jimmy Contreras. Naturally, there are cocktails, and we’d go for the Disco Bubbles, which is Cava with a selection of juices for the table.
