Need a socially acceptable excuse to start drinking champagne at 11 a.m.? Sounds like you’re in the mood for brunch.
Where to get brunch, however, remains the ultimate question. Sure, you could pick the nearest brunchy restaurant (or the one with bottomless mimosas, if that’s your thing). But for the best dining experience, it’s worth seeking out a top-notch eatery with stellar reviews, lovely ambiance, and, ideally, something edible to go with your peach bellini.
To that end, OpenTable has released its 2025 list of the “Top 100 Brunch Restaurants” in the country. This year, restaurants in 24 states and Washington D.C. made the cut, each having earned very respectable reviews among OpenTable diners using the online platform.
