Brunch in Newark

Imagine this: it’s Sunday morning, and you wake up in your comfy hotel bed in Newark to the sun peeking through the blinds after an epic night out. You rub your eyes, stretch toward the heavens and realize there’s only one thing on your mind.

Food! But what to eat? The gooey goodness of a classically Jersey Taylor Ham, egg and cheese sandwich would certainly hit the spot, but you’re also craving the decadent deliciousness of stuffed french toast covered in syrup, or perhaps a salty Caesar salad with a side of truffle fries? There’s only one solution to such a situation: get out of bed and head out to tackle the most versatile and satisfying meal of all, brunch.

Here in Newark, we take brunch very seriously. When else can you truly take your time relishing in the flaky flavor of a perfectly cooked quiche, or savoring every moment of bliss that a Bloody Mary can bring? Whether you’re wanting something sweet or savory, a mimosa or a macchiato, pancakes or potatoes, there is a Newark restaurant that has you covered.
