Fried chicken and waffles at Birch and Barley

1. Birch & Barley

Birch & Barley

For an extravagant Sunday brunch experience, try Birch & Barley‘s boozy breakfast special. It comes with freshly fried donuts, two brunch cocktails, an entrée, and is washed down with bottomless iced tea or coffee. It’s likely to be the best decision you make all weekend. The fried chicken and waffles is perhaps the most popular brunch entrée – Belgian waffles served with buttered pecans and maple-chicken jus. Other options include strawberry-rhubarb french toast, an assortment of flatbreads, and a stracciatella omelette.

Slipstream‘s goal is to serve up delicious coffees, cocktails and eats in a comfortable and relaxed environment, and we reckon they’ve nailed it. Slipstream is paradise for the coffee drinker, as its team is constantly testing and refining its selection to ensure that only the best brews are on the menu. On the weekends, this coffee and tea haven offers up appetizing treats for those looking for a different brunch experience – try the lobster roll or the avocado and goat cheese toast.

3. Commissary

Restaurant, American, Beer, Vegetarian

Commissary is the perfect brunch spot for a large group. Inside, you’ll find a spacious lounge area that’s cozy and comfortable. Or, grab a table in the outdoor patio and enjoy the weather on a sunny day. Commissary’s breakfast specialties are intriguing – highlights include potato pancakes, breakfast tacos with chorizo, goats cheese and sun dried tomato omelet, and the pulled pork benedict with cornbread and home fries. Best of all, breakfast is served all day, so you definitely won’t miss out. Pacific oysters | ©Guido/Flickr

4. Pearl Dive Oyster Palace

Bar, Restaurant, Seafood, American, Gluten-free

Fancy some fresh oysters for breakfast? Pearl Dive Oyster Palace is the place to go. The menu isn’t limited to oysters, though. You’ll find a bit of everything here, from smaller items like the daily doughnuts and potato latkes to larger plates like huevos rancheros and the brioche French toast. The New Orleans-inspired Pontchartrain, however, has become a brunch favorite. It involves two poached eggs, an english muffin, blue crab, ham, crawfish and cayenne Hollandaise sauce – delicious.

5. Barcelona 14th Street

Bar, Restaurant, Spanish, Mediterranean, European

Brunch at a Spanish spot known for its tapas and wines? Barcelona 14th Street does indeed do brunch, and very well. You’ll see all the regulars – eggs benedict, steak and eggs, french toast, even buttermilk pancakes. But you’ll definitely be tempted to share the tapas, such as the spiced meatballs, potato tortilla, or crispy calamari. Complete the Spanish experience with some sangria, or create your own cocktail with help from the bartender.

6. Le Diplomate

Cafe, Restaurant, French, European, Vegetarian

Le Diplomate has earned a place among the best restaurants in all of DC, let alone Logan Circle. Any meal here is a special one, and brunch is no exception. Start off with a cup of French-style coffee and a basket of freshly baked pastries, and you’ll feel as if you just walked into a cafe in Paris. Everything at Le Diplomate is classy and on theme, from the decor to the menu.

7. Drafting Table

Bar, American, Pub Grub, Beer

Opened in 2012, Drafting Table is yet another great brunch option on busy 14th Street. This neighborhood pub has a simple brunch menu with a couple of standouts that you won’t find elsewhere. The fried pickles are some of the best in the city. The draftsman burger comes with blue cheese, apricot chutney and bacon-onion jam, while the grilled cheese sandwich comes with duck, provolone cheese and hoisin sauce for dipping. On Sundays, arrive early to take in an English Premier League match.

8. The Pig

Charcuterie, Restaurant, American, Gluten-free

Grab a couple of friends and head over to The Pig for a pork-filled brunch extravaganza. Dare to try the ‘big pig’ – a feast of charcuterie, pickles, olives, fruit, pesto and bread that’s ideal for four to six people. There’s also the ‘little pig’ for a smaller group. Brunch at The Pig is definitely a pork-centric experience, where you’ll discover pulled pork benedict and chicken fried pork and waffle on the menu. Expect a relaxed, easy-going atmosphere.

9. B Too

Bar, Market, Restaurant, Belgian, European, Vegetarian

You simply can’t go wrong with a Belgian waffle for breakfast. At B Too, though, you may find yourself agonizing over the many delectable choices. Feel like ordering something sweet? Then go for the french toast waffle or the ‘decadentes crêpes’ that come with banana, nutella, and vanilla ice cream. There are waffles with an American twist too, like the cornbread and pulled pork waffle. At B Too, you can experience Chef Bart Vandaele’s creation of a space that celebrates Belgian cuisine and culture in an American setting. Homemade pop tarts from Ted’s Bulletin | © m01229/Flickr

10. Ted's Bulletin

Diner, Restaurant, American

Located at the very northern edge of the Logan Circle neighborhood is Ted’s Bulletin. Brothers Ty and Mark Neal opened the restaurant in honor of their father, Ted, who was known for always being ready to welcome guests with a home-cooked meal. Ted’s Bulletin is a throwback to the old-fashioned American diner. The generous portions will no doubt leave you satisfied, but don’t leave without trying a homemade pop tart or shake.
