If there’s any weekend meal to splurge on, it should be brunch. It’s a rare chance to indulge in food and drink in celebration of the past week as well as prepare for a new one. Plus, no matter what your activities were the previous night, you can still get a pretty fabulous meal because of the lenient hours (hereby known as brunch-o-clock).
So if you’re ready to enjoy a tasty brunch with your pals this weekend along with a coffee or a mimosa, you will definitely want to check out these Arizona restaurants.
Please note, 5 Points Market & Restaurant is temporarily closed.
This place is packed day and night, so the busy atmosphere during brunch is no different. Try the frittata with a cold mimosa, which can be a little pricey but the meal is worth the price.
Postino has a few locations in the Phoenix area and their brunch menus are always on point. Their food is reasonably priced and quite tasty! We recommend trying out the ciabatta french toast, which is served with preserves and crème fraiche.
Stop in for a delicious meal from their extensive brunch menu. A couple of stand outs include the duck confit hash and, my personal breakfast favorite, their lox. Top this off with a prickly pear mimosa and you have quite the luxurious meal!
While they don’t have an exclusive brunch menu, you can order from the breakfast menu on weekends until 1 p.m. Plus you can enjoy a bloody mary or their signature cortado with a spicy chilaquiles. Yum!
The last time I was in Tucson, I had brunch here and enjoyed a surprisingly good breakfast salad with toast and a latte. My boyfriend also had nothing but good things to say about the huevos rancheros.
Looking for unique eggs benedict or a snickerdoodle pancake? You need to stop here! Baja Cafe has a ton of options to choose from, which is one of the best parts of participating in brunch.
We’ve mentioned this place before in other articles, but MartAnne’s is really worth the stop. The chilaquiles are their signature dish but you should also give the rancheros and omelettes a try!
If you’re looking for a laid back brunch while in Prescott, this is the perfect placec to stop for a meal. Also, the plates are huge! The photo makes it seem like a small meal but these are actually some hefty portions.
