Best Brunches in Austin | Eater Austin

"When searching for a fancy start to the day, head to this beautiful brunch at this Hancock luxury hotel restaurant. Lutie’s serves an American-ish menu filled with some of the best pastries in the city courtesy of co-executive chef Susana Querejazu, plus classy drinks, and brunch classics, such as bagels and lox, crepes, and Gulf shrimp-stuffed omelets. From the velvet seats to the greenery hanging from the ceiling, it’s got a strong Alice in Wonderland vibe and decor that’s a true exercise in maximalism. If you need to dial it down a notch, there is less intensely decorated seating outside. Brunch hours are from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on weekends." - Nadia Chaudhury
