Top Five: "Two for Brunch, Please." (DC)


Brunch. The time of day where breakfast and lunch compromise on the weekends. We love it and wake up eager for some poached eggs on any given Saturday. A few years ago, it was a little hard to find a good brunch menu or two, now there are multiple places to get some eggs in your drunken system. After a night on the town, brunch can become a mandatory task and knowing where to go should be listed right beside your emergency phone numbers. For the Top Five this week we focus on five of the newest brunches in the District. Check it:

1.
Kellari Taverna (Mediterranean)- If you're looking for feta or pita with your eggs, this is the stop.

2.
Acadiana (Southern Comfort)- When you order from their prix-fixe menu, you can get unlimited Bloody Marys or mimosas for 25 Cents. More info here.

3.
Againn (British Isles)- The new brunch menu reflects the cuisine of the British Isles with dishes such as House-made Cranberry and Cornmeal Scones and English Style Breakfast served with two fried eggs, baked beans, marinated tomato, bacon and bangers.

4. Birch & Barley (American)- Yum to Fried Chicken and Waffles and Whiskey-Vanilla French toast w/ caramelized apples and whipped cream. Also, there are bites to share: fried donuts, sticky buns w/ brown sugar toffee and banana coffee cake. Hearty breakfast that ranges in price from $5 to $16.

5. Restaurant Ris (Classic American)- Think of this as the basics spot. All your grounds are covered whether you're in the mood for: french toast, eggs benedict or chicken fried skirt steak. Brunch runs on Saturday and Sunday from 10 am to 3 pm.

Please feel free to print this and post on the fridge. From all the Artini's and cocktails at Yelp Drink Week, you may need it.

25 cent mimosas? That sounds like (and IS) an amazing deal. Great restaurant brunch selections. I will have to share these with our residents. Thank you.
