Going out to enjoy a long, deliberate, enjoyable Sunday brunch for some people is a weekly (or even monthly) occasion – something to look for as a reward after a long work week. Depending on your tastes, desires, and budget you can find a wealth of varieties everywhere from casinos to roadside joints, big city favorites, and mountain resorts. For a relatively upscale experience with amazing views, Navio is a delicious, road trip-worthy buffet destination.

Navio Restaurant is located at 1 Miramontes Point Road in Half Moon Bay inside the Ritz Carlton Hotel.

Taking inspiration from the coastal location in which it sits, the Ritz Carlton and Navio incorporate only the finest fresh local seafood, regional produce, and other superior quality food products into every dish.
Brunch at Navio is offered on Saturdays as well as on Sundays.

Although the focus here is on serving up, according to their website, "dynamic yet approachable cuisine that celebrates the bounty of the coast," diners can enjoy more than just seafood and fish. Meat, chicken, and more speak to all kinds of culinary tastes.
Perhaps the best part of a buffet, is that you can fashion your own gastronomic “theme” based on the offerings.

If you love seafood, go ahead and pile your plate high with shrimp, sushi, oysters, caviar, smoked salmon, and the like.
