New brunch destinations in Washington, DC feature diverse menus and unique offerings. Balos serves a combination of dinner and brunch items, including onion soup and crab cake Benedict. A new pop-up in Union Market emphasizes cheffy fried chicken with inventive dishes. An NYC transplant in Penn Quarter offers carbonara pizza and frozen bellinis in its brunch lineup. A Scottish restaurant at the Wharf incorporates local ingredients with dishes like overnight oats and lobster and eggs, while a McLean spot boasts an eclectic brunch menu and appealing cocktails.
The focus of its short menu is cheffy fried chicken (it's a trend!). At brunch, you can sample the sorghum-and-molasses-brined birds on a corn waffle with ham and havarti, or as part of a breakfast plate with fried eggs, more corn waffles, and maple syrup.
One of the most coveted pieces of real estate inside Union Market-the central bar that previously housed Rappahannock Oyster Co. and Yasmine-is now home to a brand-new pop-up from the Shilling Canning Co. crew.
Weekend mornings starting at 11 AM, you'll find a menu that mixes dinner fixtures like onion soup and a wagyu French dip with brunchier fare like a crab cake Benedict and steak frites with eggs.
The cocktails are as much of a draw as the food at this McLean restaurant from the owners of DC hit Donsak Thai Restaurant.
