"We love Winkel. Whether you’re up before the sun on the weekend (they open at 8am) or you promised your parents that you’d finally go to brunch with them, the laid-back atmosphere is perfect for everyone. The Dutch restaurant has long tables that are great for groups, a few booths along the walls when you want to get comfy, and a menu that has something for everyone. From a la carte items like shakshuka, shrimp and grits, fried french toast, and a house-smoked salmon benedict. Come early, because seating is all first come, first serve–even if that means showing up in your pajamas and having your parents judge you for it." - candis mclean, alison kessler
"Helmed by JonCarl Lachman, this Gayborhood brunch destination specializes in Dutch-inspired fare like open-faced egg sandwiches, and pairs its signature dishes with a laid-back atmosphere and friendly staff that make it a go-to spot for relaxed weekend meals." - Ernest Owens
"There is no shortage of options for eggs benedicts or omelets at Winkel, one of Center City’s most treasured breakfast and brunch spots. Choose from fantastic options like the mustard-crisped crab cake benedict or the sardou (spinach and artichoke) benedict, or order one of its sizable omelets like the three-cheese omelet (made with gouda, cheddar, and Swiss cheeses) or the immensely flavorful Brussels sprouts, bacon, cheddar, and chili pepper omelet." - George Banks-Weston
