During weekends or weekdays, brunch is our preferred mode of choice when it comes to achieving a glorious, noon-ish start for the day. Whether you’re escaping from work to get a bite, or plan a brunch with the squad over the weekend, here’s a list of delicious brunch options with both Eastern and Western culinary influences around K-town for you to try out!
Our personal favorite from Q is their Lebanese pancakes. A fusion mixed with halloumi and zaatar served with fried eggs. Fun tip: ask for a side of Labnah and then spread it in-between pancakes for a creamy texture! Their Peachy iced tea is also a bonus drink on the side.

The Kind Ones
The Kind Ones provide a lovely variety of salted and sweet buns, either dripped with syrup or stuffed with various choices. Be it fried or scrambled, it’ll all come through within their bun. Stay kind, they say. But, we wouldn’t mind staying salty either!

Rejoice, there’s an all-day brunch at Lunch Room!

Morning flatbreads, southern buns, gluten-free pancakes, and their Middle Eastern platter. Table Otto has no chill when it comes to brunch, as they just keep on killing it with their brunch menu! For our first experience at this fine establishment, check out our original review.

If you’re looking for aesthetically pleasing dishes that are meant to be destroyed and completely consumed, Rococoa is the place to go. Be mesmerized by their clotted cream with roasted apple-croquant waffle, and Beetroot-fava hummus design, then simply attack!

The name of this delicious destination says it all. The artisanal approach to their baked goods, yummy jams and sauces make this place one of our all time faves! Both locations at JACC and Souq Sharq make for a scenic but delicious brunch excursion. Tip: their croissants and baked good are must-haves. No pressure, but THIS is how a croissant should look like:
