San Fran’s Haute 5 Brunch Spots: Because Who Doesn’t Love Bloodies on Sundays

Weekend brunches used to be reserved as a Sunday tradition, but thank goodness we have embraced the 21^st century and now we can brunch both days of the weekend.

Murray Circle at Cavallo Point

Murray Circle at Cavallo Point is here to help us with our embrace by offering Saturday and Sunday brunches from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. The Michelin award-winning restaurant, located at the Lodge at the Golden Gate, adheres to our San Franciscan appetite for Mother Nature’s bounty from local and organic farms, ranches, and culinary artisans, brought to life under the watchful eye of executive chef Joseph Humphrey.

Murray Circle at Cavallo Point is located at The Lodge at the Golden Gate at 601 Murray Circle, Fort Baker Sausalito (415.339.4750)

Rose’s Café

We know your initial reaction might be to cringe, but we promise that the breakfast pizza at Rose’s Café is worth the wait. It’s usually crowded at Rose’s Café, a neighborhood joint popular with the locals, but isn’t that the sign of an authentic palate-pleaser? And even when the weather outside gets frightful, there are copious amounts of heated outdoor seating. And green eggs and ham are not just for Sam. At Rose’s Café they are one of the brunch favorites, we swear.

Rose’s Café is located at 2298 Union Street (415.775.2200)

Harry Denton’s

“Sunday’s A Drag” is the theme here, but all to celebrate Sunday funday, and by drag we don’t mean a bore. Harry Denton’s offers a classic brunch buffet and according to our own haute insiders, “with a stellar, Vegas-style performance.” It’s hauter than it sounds, in part due to its location at The Starlight Room on the 21sst Floor of the Sir Francis Drake Hotel, and in part due to the fact that it is a salute to old-fashioned variety show

Harry Denton’s is located at in the Starlight Room of the Sir Francis Drake Hotel, 21^st Floor; 450 Powell Street at the corner of Sutter Street (415.395.8595)

The Four Seasons

The Four Season also embraces the idea of not just a Sunday brunch, but a full weekend brunch as well, offering diners the same appetizing hours as Murray Circle on Saturdays and Sundays from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. We know that raving about the Four Seasons is a bit redundant because the quality is summed up in the name alone. And it’s not just the food that is impeccable; it is the manner in which it is served. Attention to detail is an understatement when describing what goes on behind these doors—so much so that the service can almost trump the cuisine.

The Four Seasons is located at 757 Market St. (415.633.3000)

Ad Hoc

It almost goes without saying that if it comes from the hands and creative genius mind of Thomas Keller, then it is going to be spectacular. And his Sunday brunch in Yountville is no exception, going from 10:00 a.m to 1:00 p.m. Rave reviews? A resounding yes is the answer, particularly to the buttermilk yogurt parfait.

Ad Hoc is located at 6476 Washington Street in Yountville (707.944.2487)
