Sunday Girls Brunch

[DowntownChick]

Looking for a fun and different brunch place in Boston or Cambridge. Have done lots of the S. End - Union, Aquitane, Garden of Eden, etc. Had a great brunch last weekend at Eastern Standard. Looking for a suggestion that I might not otherwise think of. Thanks!

Go for the "dim sum" menu at New Shanghai in Chinatown for Shanghainese and some Northern Chinese street snacks and small plates.

Maybe Ashmont Grill? I haven't had their brunch so I can't say how that is, but I have liked the food I've had there at dinner, and if it's warm enough, their patio is a really nice space. Anyone been who can give a thumbs up or down re the food at brunch?

East Coast Grill in Inman has a good brunch. Plus they have build your own bloody mary bar!

Ok, both the Blue Room and B-Side got nixed. The ladies are thinking maybe Toro. Any thoughts on Toro for brunch?

i didn't nix B-side. I would go there. but toro sounds good.

No first-hand experience, but I've heard that Toro's brunch is awful. (I like it at dinner.)

Some brunches I like that you haven't already mentioned: Sel de la Terre, Beacon Hill Bistro, Red Fez (great patio when it's warm enough), Cafe Polonia, the Blarney Stone. B-Side is probably my favorite overall.

Mc Slim, I was looking at the Cafe Polonia website and they don't have a brunch menu. Do they brunch?

[MC Slim JB]

The "polka brunch", with a few egg dishes added to the weekday lunch menu, is still mentioned in several places on Cafe Polonia's website, so I'm assuming it's' still on, starting at 8am on Saturday and Sunday. Their potato pancakes are the best hash browns in Boston.

Thank you!

The Blue Room or B-Side lounge.

i second b-side... if you're looking for funky and fun, b-side (in cambridge) is a great place for sunday brunch.

What about dim sum for brunch? Hei La Moon, Chau Chow City, or China Pearl could be options. If it has to be eggs, yumyum's recent write up of B Side's brunch sounds like something "different" for you.

I haven't been, but Tremont 647 has a pajama brunch ...

Frank Sinatra Brunch at Lucky's. Can't speak for the food (we're going for the first time this Sunday), but it's different and looks like fun!

Menu looks good: http://www.luckyslounge.com/BRUNCH-me...
