The Best Brunch Spots in Washington, D.C., From Classic Diners to a Viet-Cajun Cafe | Condé Nast Traveler
"A little bit from the Mid-Atlantic, a little bit from southern France, a lot from the sea: that's the thread connecting the dishes at The Imperial from chef Russell Jones (formerly of Jack Rose Dining Saloon ). The restaurant really goes all out for its brunch. The lengthy menu includes lump crab Benedicts; sausage, egg, and cheese sandwiches on a brioche bun; and grouper and grits with sherry gravy and piquillo peppers. Start out with a build-your-own bagel board featuring made-in-house trout rillette and everything bagels, and then if you're really hungry, there's steak and eggs with béarnaise sauce and grits. Brunch drinks (cocktails are a big deal here) include an espresso martini with a nutmeg chicory tincture." - Adele Chapin
