Award-winning chefs are in charge at Lafayette, so it’s no surprise that this place offers up some of the neighborhood’s best brunch (with a French twist).

Pair your meal with an obligatory cocktail, from a classic bloody Mary to a rum ginger punch, or try something less traditional than your average mimosa and go for their ‘Le Métro’, a mix of Herradura Reposado tequila, Maestro Dobel tequila, Suze bitters, honey, orange, and lime.
