I | O Urban Roofscape at the Godfrey – If you’re looking for
brunch with a view, then this is the place to be! This rooftop spot overlooks
the city and the skyline view is gorgeous. The best part is the retractable all
glass roof that’s kept open on warm summer days but closes during the cold
winter while keeping the view unobstructed. My favorite part of brunch here is
their menu is all small bites. The steak benedict and brioche sticks (basically
French toast sticks) are my go to choices paired with a mimosa or bloody mary!
Sunda – I have three words for you: Tempura French Toast.
The only way to describe this dish is to die for. Seriously. This amazing
creation is not the only amazing thing on their menu. Don’t let the fact that
this is considered a new Asian menu; make sure to be adventurous when deciding
what to order because they know how to do brunch right. Especially with their
mimosa kits and bloody mary carts. A must try in my book!
Summer House Santa Monica – Brunching here is like brunching
in sunny Santa Monica without having to pay for a flight to LA! The vibe there
is totally California and they even have a countdown to summer hanging on the
wall. The roof is glass and lets the sunshine in and even retracts so they open
it up on the warmer days to let fresh air in. From their fresh squeezed orange
juice and healthier menu options to the classic brunch favorites, their menu
doesn’t disappoint!
Wildberry – When it comes to the perfect family place to go
to brunch, Wilberry is the place to go. But if you’re going you better make sure
you have plenty of time to wait. They don’t take reservations in advance and
sometimes the wait can be up to 2 hours long. But I promise you that it is
worth the wait!
Zella – All you can drink mimosas, Bloody Mary’s or Mille
Lite and Coors Light plus a brunch entrée for $28?! Yes please! This Lincoln
Park spot is a favorite of mine, especially in the warmer weather. Their
outdoor patio is always packed but if you aren’t there early enough to get a
spot outside there are plenty of tables inside to snag as well. The DJ plays
great music to listen to while you’re brunchin and the all you can drink deal
is well worth it.
Flo – Sweet tooth friends this place is for you! Their
fruity pebbles French toast is one of their best dishes but the goodness doesn’t
stop there. They have everything a typical brunch menu has to offer and those
options also come with fun little twists that your taste buds will thank you
for later (like their bacon-chocolate pancakes)!
Kanela Breakfast Club – Probably one of the most instagrammed
brunch spots in Chicago, this restaurant uses only organic ingredients from
local spots. They use their Greek heritage to influence their menu and the
outcome is mouthwateringly delicious. Don’t believe me, just check out their
instagram and tell me that your mouth doesn’t water just by looking at the
pictures of their food! They have 3 locations open right now and are about to
open a 4th in the near future.
Over Easy – This place puts a nice little twist on brunch.
Their menu for Sunday Brunch changes weekly and they offer complimentary coffee
while you wait for a table! On top of their Sunday brunch menu they also offer
their regular breakfast menu like their Sassy eggs. If you like spice the sassy
eggs are must try for you! Eggs benedict, one of my favorite classic brunch
entrees, is only offered on Sundays so be sure to check out their brunch menu
to see what kind of benedict is being offered that week. I love that they a
constantly changing their brunch menu because it offers variety to change up
your typical order while still enjoying great food.
Meli Café – Here they make their own freshly baked Challah
bread, and I promise you there is nothing like tbeir freshly made Challah
French toast no matter how you order it! Also, their nutella crepes are delish!
Their menu options are huge so you will have no issue finding something to
order from their menu!
Orange Restaurant – Pancake flights. Need I say more? Every
week their chef picks a theme and offers four stacks of different pancakes that
match that theme. You won’t know what the pancake flight of the week will be
until it’s posted on Saturday morning with their special of the week! They also
offer other amazing and delicious options on their menu but I definitely
recommend being daring and trying out their pancake flight of the week for a
switch up in your normal brunch go-to!
