Brunch is always a treat, and whether or not you treated mom to one on her special day; you should keep Lime&Tonic’s brunch tips handy for when an ‘I need a little indulgence this weekend’ moment strikes. Birthdays, anniversaries, and heck-why-not days are all enlivened with a relaxing delightful late morning meal.
Green Eggs Café is not indicative of the overdue label on their food, but of their commitment to the environment. Locally sourced food products, herbs grown in their rooftop garden, plus massive recycling and composting efforts means you’ll feel extra good about dining here. Smoked lox Benedict, vegan French toast and stone ground grits are only a few of the morning delights on offer. This is a casual place, perfect for a quick weekend catch-up with friends. Cash only and no reservations on the weekends

If you are looking for a more traditional brunch experience, head to Matyson. Their BYOB brunch (Sundays only, 10:30am-2pm) includes a sweet potato waffle with marshmallows, but also omelets and a wild mushroom quiche. This is BYOB, and on the menu are handy mixers like a carafe of OJ and one of Bloody Mary mix.
