Five Restaurants for Easter Brunch

Forget the chocolate bunnies. Easter’s most scrumptious dishes can be found on the brunch menus of restaurants across Fairfield County.  This year try making a reservation at one of these Easter brunch spots, and hop to it!

Its elegant and charming atmosphere makes The Roger Sherman Inn a special place to celebrate any occasion.  Their seasonal French-American inspired menu has been rated “Excellent” by The New York Times — and the inn’s special Easter menu looks just as mouthwatering.  Try their slow roasted Easter ham, herb crusted loin of lamb, or pan roasted duck breast with seasonal vegetables and divine sauces.

A favorite Sunday brunch spot in New Canaan, Gates will be serving from 9:30 a.m.-3:30 p.m. on Easter Sunday.  Start the morning off with their flakey, warm croissants and strawberry butter, and then choose from a wide variety of breakfast favorites like eggs Benedict or huevos rancheros.  Their long list of hearty salads and sandwiches available all day makes Gates brunch something that everyone will enjoy.

Celebrate Easter under the tranquil garden atrium of Winfield’s restaurant at the Hyatt Regency in Greenwich.  From 12-4 p.m., you can indulge in traditional favorites, sumptuous specialties, and one of the most delectable dessert buffets in Fairfield County.  The buffet-style brunch is $75 per adult and $36 for kids 5-12.  Children 4 and under dine free.

For incomparable French cuisine in a warm country setting, head for brunch at Bernard’s. The $45 prix fixe menu offers a 3-course meal from 12-1:30 p.m. including an appetizer, egg or entrée dish, and a trio of desserts.  If you can’t make the brunch seating, Bernard’s Easter dinner menu will be served from 1-6 p.m. and includes 3-course dish options like smoked salmon, lemon-rosemary roasted free range chicken, and beef Wellington for $65 per person.

For great holiday food and entertainment, try Easter brunch at The Dressing Room, where a live gospel choir will be singing during the 11:30a.m.-2:30p.m. brunch seating.  Served buffet style, the dishes are all made from local, organic, and natural ingredients at the restaurant located adjacent to the Westport Country Playhouse.  Seating is family-style with long tables to create a neighborly and community feel.  Easter brunch is $65 per adult and $30 for children.
