Know When to Go

Brunch in Boston is serious business, and the crowds can get intense. For the best experience, try to make reservations and arrive on time. If you don’t have reservations, try to arrive early (around 9:00 AM or 10:00 AM) or after peak brunch time (usually 1:00 PM). This will help you avoid long waits, especially in neighborhoods like the South End, Back Bay, and Cambridge.

Tips for a Smooth Brunch Experience

Invite a friend or family member.

Brunch or any gathering is best enjoyed with someone special. If you plan to dine at a restaurant for brunch, consider asking a friend or family member to join you for a meal. You can order various dishes and share them, making it a fun experience for everyone. This approach helps you discover which meals you want to try next time.

Arrive at the restaurant hungry.

While brunch doesn’t have to be the most substantial meal of the day, it does blend breakfast and lunch, so it’s typically more filling than either. You might grab a light snack in the morning, but make sure to come to the restaurant hungry to truly appreciate the delicious offerings.

Gradually increase your pace.

Proteins and carbohydrates tend to fill us up quickly, so it’s wise to begin with lighter items, such as fruits or vegetables. Starting with something like an apple, you can then move on to carb-rich options, such as bread or cereal. Ideally, you won’t feel overly full, allowing room for some protein-rich dishes, such as beans or eggs.

Complete your brunch experience.

Once you finish your meal with family or friends, everyone will likely feel satisfied and ready to rest. If you’ve enjoyed one or more alcoholic drinks, consider ordering some coffee along with delightful desserts to round off your brunch.
