These Are the Most Indulgent Brunch Spots Ever

Cafe Fleuri, Boston, Massachusetts

Puritanical restraint takes a holiday at Boston's Cafe Fleuri, at least when it comes to brunch. The all-you-can-eat buffet begins with a cocktail from the Bloody Mary and Mimosa Bar and ends with a trip (or five) to the Chocolate Bar, where discerning diners can choose from an array of chocolate desserts: pies, puddings, tarts, creme brulees, cakes, crepes, ice cream, and a chocolate fountain.

LAVO, New York City, New York

The Saturday Party Brunch may be perfect if you like your breakfast less French toast stick and more glow stick. At New York's LAVO restaurant, sink into a red leather banquette behind your most glamorous sunglasses. At 2, you eat your brunch, maybe demurely sip a cocktail. At around 3, the bass drops. The lights dim and the Champagne gets sprayed as the crowd spills out onto the dance floor to get down with models and pro athletes.

Ellyngton's, Denver, Colorado

This Champagne-soaked brunch is definitely not for those on a "Two-Buck Chuck" budget. At Ellyngton's, the lavish restaurant in Denver's The Brown Palace Hotel, a buffet spread of breakfast favorites, seafood, salad, and sushi plays second fiddle to the bubbles. Choose from three tiers (Domaine Chandon, Moet et Chandon, or Dom Perignon). Then drink your breakfast away.

Border Grill, Los Angeles, California

Border Grill, an urban Mexican mini-chain in California and Las Vegas, has one of the best deals the world over. For $30, diners get unlimited small plates, from Oaxacan pancakes to spicy chilaquiles to shots of banana cream pie. Yes, the offerings are unlimited: That means you can try all 20-some dishes in one go. Add to that bottomless mimosas and you have quite the brunch bargain.

La Boum, Washington D.C.

This DC institution warns that it's "not for the conservative or the weary," but we imagine its champagne-fueled brunch is a bipartisan effort even Congress could endorse. For three hours every Saturday and Sunday, a 21-and-up crowd gets down to a DJ, eats brunch, and has a party. There may be dancing on tables. Make a reservation online way in advance.

The Cosmopolitan, Las Vegas, Nevada

The ever-popular Sterling Brunch at Bally's may be the longtime Vegas favorite, but we think Bubbles & Brunch at The Cosmopolitan is the toast of the town. After a quick, refreshing lap in the adjacent pool, tuck into gooey caramel-pecan monkey bread and bottomless Chandon (hair of the dog, right?). Finish with a tray of alcohol-infused sweets, take a nap, and prepare yourself for another night out, you bright young thing, you.

Foreign Cinema, San Francisco, California

If eating an artisanal Pop-Tart while watching a Bunuel film sounds like the perfect Sunday, Foreign Cinema is your hot spot. The well-known restaurant draws crowds for its eclectic brunch menu of local produce, farm-raised eggs, and oysters. The hungry masses stay for the foreign and indie films that are screened in the covered outdoor courtyard—how San Francisco is that.

Rosebud, Atlanta, Georgia

If you're anything like us, getting out of bed in time for brunch can be especially rough on the weekends. Rosebud, a cute locavore restaurant in the Morningside neighborhood of Atlanta, has a solution: Monday-night brunch. A full breakfast menu of Southern classics, accompanied by traditional a.m. cocktails, is available each Monday evening. Go traditional with local shrimp and grits or go insane with The Ultimate Pancake (a stuffed monstrosity with sausage, bacon, eggs, and maple syrup).

Broussard's, New Orleans, Louisiana

In NOLA, tucking into a boozy brunch is as traditional as donning Mardi Gras beads. One of the most indulgent options is Broussard's, a quintessential French Quarter spot where a three-course brunch of tasty eats—like the File Gumbo Broussard and pain perdu French toast—is accompanied by live jazz. (And the $12 bottomless mimosas are music to our ears.)

Sobelmans, Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Celery? Yawn. A lemon wedge? Boring. You know what your Bloody Mary needs? A full-sized cheeseburger. Sobelmans, a popular college haunt in Milwaukee, serves up meals on sticks—submerged in breakfast cocktails. "The Beast" Bloody Mary contains 80 ounces of the tomato-juice-and-vodka cocktail, plus a whole fried chicken, so bring a couple of friends. Like, twelve of them.
