Brunch is sacred in D.C. With so many restaurants offering some variation of it, choosing the right place to catch up with friends, family members, and significant others over a midday meal can be overwhelming. This top-notch list is full of
restaurants that are worth the time and investment, whether your tastes lean towards French toast and fried chicken biscuits or well-executed avocado toasts. The bottomless options are also growing across the city, for brunch-goers that like to go big for the midday weekend meal.
For newer brunches to try in town, go here. For the best bottomless deals around, check out this list. And for a superior breakfast any day of the week, consider these spots.

For this latest D.C. brunch refresh, we add: Barbouzard and Love, Makoto.
