Georgie
4514 Travis St Suite 132, Dallas
Check it out
Georgie, led by chef RJ Yoakum, is now a Michelin-recommended hotspot where the food is as stunning as the ambiance. It’s the kind of place where you can start your day with caviar or oysters — because why not — before diving into banana pancakes, melt-in-your-mouth short rib, or dangerously addictive monkey bread. And if you like your brunch with a buzz, there are six different spritzes to get the weekend started in style.
Fearing’s at The Ritz-Carlton
2121 McKinney Ave, Dallas
Check it out
Experience the heart of elevated American cuisine with a Southwestern flair at Fearing's, created by celebrity chef Dean Fearing, author of The Texas Food Bible. A favorite among both locals and visitors to Dallas, Chef Fearing is celebrated as one of the "fathers of Southwestern cuisine" and has dedicated his career to crafting delicious meals for those who appreciate great brunch foods like Sunday morning chilaquiles and the Granny Fearing’s paper bag shook fried chicken.
The Saint
2633 Gaston Ave, Dallas
Check it out
This steakhouse just cranked Sundays up to eleven with a jazz brunch and a lineup of brunch dishes that’ll make you rethink your weekend priorities. The vibes? Immaculate. The food? Even better. Case in point: the three bacon plate — three different cuts of crispy, salty perfection. And if that’s not enough, The Saint’s bloody mary comes with a steak seasoning rim and wagyu bacon. Because why settle for an ordinary brunch when you can have one with a side of pure indulgence?
Mercat Bistro
2501 N Harwood St Suite 225, Dallas
Check it out
Mercat Bistro is like a little slice of Paris tucked into the Harwood District — a chic, modern European-style bistro that also happens to be Michelin-recommended. DFW foodies can’t get enough of its French-inspired dishes, which are as gorgeous as they are delicious. The quiche florentine? Flawless. The pain perdu with fresh berries? Basically dessert disguised as breakfast. Bon appétit, y’all!
Restaurant Beatrice
1111 N Beckley Ave, Dallas
Check it out
This James Beard-recognized spot doesn’t just do brunch — it dominates it, Friday through Sunday. Mammaw’s fried chicken and waffle has been holding it down since day one, and for good reason. But here’s the real shocker: the Beatrice buttermilk salad is so ridiculously good, you might actually skip the french toast or eggs benedict (both of which are borderline life-changing). With crispy fried okra, bacon and homemade ranch, it’s basically a Southern hug in a bowl.
Bistro 31
87 Highland Park Village Suite 200 / 1st Floor, Dallas
Check it out
From the folks at Lombardi Family Concepts, Bistro 31 is dishing out French-inspired classics that’ll make you say oui oui! Highlights include perfectly poached eggs Benedict, dreamy lemon ricotta pancakes and béarnaise-covered steak frites. And that’s just the beginning — there’s plenty more where that came from.
Mirador
1608 Elm St, Dallas
Check it out
Mirador is a stunner — floor-to-ceiling windows, sleek vibes and a tea service that’s downright legendary. We’re talking three indulgent courses (plus a scone warm-up), three tea pairings and a glass of champagne to keep things bubbly. Feeling fancy? There are extra pairings to really turn things up. More of a brunch traditionalist? No worries — they’ve got steak and eggs, fluffy buttermilk pancakes and even a caviar donut, because why not make brunch a little bougie?
Dallas Museum of Art
1717 N Harwood St, Dallas
Check it out
Mimosas and Monet? Say less. Sunday Funday just leveled up with a new brunch at the museum once a month. Come for the chef-inspired food stations, stay for the art, entertainment and, of course, the bubbles. Your ticket includes a welcome mimosa (because brunch isn’t brunch without one), an art activity to unleash your inner Picasso and plenty of surprises. Culture, carbs and cocktails — what more could you want?
