Houston Texas BrunchHouston, Texas, knows food — especially when it comes to brunch. The fantastic array of restaurants and cuisine styles makes it easy to find exactly what you’re looking for in your brunch, whether it’s tacos or duck confit. Here are a few wonderful brunch restaurants in Houston where you can start your brunch adventures:

  1. Brennan’s

Brennan’s unique spin on fine American cuisine is as refreshing as it is delicious. Though their brunch menu may change seasonally, on it you’ll find items such as snapping turtle soup, fried Texas quail beignet, wood-grilled oysters, blue crab scrambled eggs and caviar, and Texas shrimp and grits. Brennan’s approach to fine dining brings us the best flavors of the country’s finest ingredients and regional delicacies, though they specialize in Texas Creole cuisine.

Brennan’s brunch hours are Saturday from 11 a.m.-2 p.m. and Sunday from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. If you’d like a well-rounded experience, choose their $37 Brennan’s Texas Creole Brunch, which includes a starter, entree, and dessert.

Their unique atmosphere and menu make them a great place to go this weekend if you’re looking for a break from your usual eggs-benedict-and-mimosa brunch dates. Their brunch menu features Mexican-inspired items such as their Migaquiles, huevos rancheros pizza, molletes, and breadstick churros. For drinks, you’ll find a great selection of interesting cocktails, as well as your mimosa and Bloody Mary brunch classics. True to this restaurant’s fun personality, you can order a glass of Pedialyte, a go-to non-alcoholic hangover cure.
