One of my favorites ways to spend a weekend morning (or pre-boulevard morning) is out to brunch with my girlfriends. For my friends and I, it’s a must a few times a month, and with so many fabulous restaurants to try out in Dallas, it should be for you too! Below are some of the brunch destinations in the Uptown area deserving of a visit.
Breadwinners Bakery & Cafe
Located in uptown, this Dallas favorite has that broken-in charm that might make you think your eating in a house built decades ago. With its narrow hallways and windy structure, and inside as well as outside seating, breadwinners is a relaxing way to spend the morning. Complementary slices of their to-die for breakfast breads (like Zucchini Spice and Pumpkin Streusel) are served at the table while you await your meal.
A Must-Try: Banana’s Foster Waffle
Penne Pomodoro
This Italian cuisine is located in Snyder Plaza right near SMU, and is a pre-boulevard favorite. Although small, once inside, the warm and bright ambience and friendly waiters will make you forget you are just minutes from campus.

Del Frisco Grille

This new-to Dallas restaurant is a laid-back version of the popular Del Frisco Steakhouse. Located across from Breadwinners, its uptown location and young, fresh vibe make it the new brunch hotspot. The menu might have something to do with that too, with cool twists on traditional brunch foods, like “The Grille Benedict.” Bonus: celebrities frequent it!

Sfuzzi
Known as nighttime hot-spot in uptown, Sfuzzi’s fantastic brunch may come as a shock to some. Its casual yet vibrant setting is the perfect place for the morning after a night out—even if you were there only hours ago! The fresh and unique menu is worth the trip back.
