The River Club

The Hottest New Brunches to Try in D.C.

"Dreamy, pink-filled River Club rolled out brunch in October, with a diverse menu of dishes combining Lebanese, Italian, and Spanish flavors. In March, the bar up front added walk-in service and a three-course brunch menu for $35 (11 a.m. to 3 p.m.) that includes a trio of mini cocktails for an extra $20, like a seasonal apricot Bellini. Other brunch standouts offered around the dining room include rosewater and za’atar croissants, papas bravas topped with eggs and shaved jamón ibérico, and big shared platters like the Lebanese breakfast that comes with everything to build your own ground lamb, falafel, and egg-filled pitas." - Tierney Plumb, Emily Venezky
