Houston Sunday Brunches


Fine dining is not centered only on Friday and Saturday nights, especially in Houston.  Houston still leads the world in amount of times citizens dine out per population but, not only dining out but, fine dining in Houston is also big business.  This focus on Houston fine dining is Sunday brunches.  This article is broken up into buffets we have tried, the best menus and divided between different areas of Houston.  Brunches and buffets are two different things as a buffet is often defined as all you can eat and a brunch is simply a meal that often combines lunch and breakfast.  Manyof the brunches, especially in Houston, are fine dining but, if you are into other such as a country buffet or maybe a Sunday pizza buffet we have those covered as well.  Sunday brunches though are not just for theholidays, so plan on checking out  some of these wonderful restaurants for Sunday brunch as a change from the routine restaurants who only offer their daily menu.
The OpenTable.com Diner's Choice winners are listed on 1 Touch Reservations mobile, www.1tr.mobi, which all offer Sunday brunches.  These restaurants can also be viewed via PC/ Laptop at www.menus.ws and 1 Touch reservations has written here their best choices for Sunday brunches.  Starting with Spring Sunday brunches, Strack Farms on Louetta and Candelari’s off of 290 we have tried and are both good.  Strack Farms we have dined at many times on Sunday and strongly recommend therestaurant for non-fine dining but, A+ rated food starting with breakfast items early on at 9am and adding barbecue while continuing the breakfast items at around 11am.  The brunch is very worth of a trip in fromHouston for the price.  None of the Houston brunches will get you so filled for the price.  If buffet is of interest and you have a taste for Pizza, Candelari’s, www.candelaris.com is worth the trip from Spring or Houston Another restaurant we have dined at several times is the Potato Patch.  Although they do not offer a Sunday brunch, their daily lunch menu is awesome and a very good choice for a Sunday brunch, especially for the price.  The Sweet Tomato we have dined at but, not their Sunday brunch.  The menu looks good but, they only offer a Sunday breakfast until noon.  The Sunday breakfast is a typical breakfast of eggs, the meats, Belgian waffles, pancakes and on.  You can visit their site at www.sweettomatoes.com.  Just north of Spring in The Woodlands offering Sunday brunch is Hubbell and Hudson and America’s.  We have not dined at Hubbell and Hudson but, we shop there on many occasions and enjoy their market very much.  The review I read on Yelp about America’s Sunday Brunch beside that it is very good is that not many people know about it so, no wait exists.  I could not find any menu or info about their Sunday brunch.  You can visit their website at http://www.cordua.com/americas.  The Hubbell and Hudson Sunday brunch menu I did find at their website, www.hubbellandhudson.com and the menu is quite extensive and appetizing.  Another choice restaurant forSunday brunch in The Woodlands is Perry’s Steakhouse, who seems to me on a Benedict kick for Sunday brunch.  The menu is small but, appears to be appetizing.  You can view their site at www.perryssteakhouse.com.  They have a location in Champions, which ads another location to SpringSunday brunches.  So, for North of Houston, the Spring, Woodlands and Cypress area, those are some of the Sunday brunches we are aware of but, the bulk of Sunday brunches appear to be in Houston.
The Houston area I must admit has some awesome choices for Sunday brunch and for those in Spring, a drive every once in a while cannot hurt for a change in Sunday brunch.  Before jumping into the Houston Sunday brunch choices,  we want to touch on Clear Lake for our favorite buffet and Sunday brunch is in Clear Lake and that is at the South Shore Harbor Resort.  They have a buffet on Wednesday nights as well and Chef David Melgar changes the menu each week.  The food is so outstanding we strongly suggest even a weekend trip to the area and dine at and or stay at the South Shore Harbor Resort.  The photo on this page is of their buffet desserts.  More information, hotel promotions and online booking is available at our reservations site, www.houstonreservations.info or call our agency direct for more information.   Perry’s Steakhouse has alocation in Clear Lake, so that is another choice for the Clear Lake area.  Star Fleet Yachts is another good choice for a Champaign Sunday brunch and details are available at www.starfleetyachts.com The best ofHouston Sunday brunches from OpenTable.com are as follows: Bernardo’s @ Hotel Galvez (Galveston), Brady’s Landing, Benjy’s in the Village, Max’s Wine Dive – Houston, Café Benedicte, Birraporetti’s Downtown, Hubbel and Hudson, Rainbow Lodge, Churrascos – West Chase and Brennan’s of Houston.  The Rainbow Lodge seemed to have one of the best menus for Sunday brunch.  Direct links to all these restaurant are available on the home page of HoustonRestaurants.ws.   Visit Houston for Sunday brunches but keep in mind the value of the North areas.
