They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but we think brunch is even better. Here are our top 10 favorite brunch spots in Scottsdale.
This boutique eatery in downtown Scottsdale has served up fresh French country-inspired dishes—think blueberry crepes, ham and cheddar cheese quiche, peach French toast casserole and more—for over 30 years.
It’s not just a hit film—Old Town Scottsdale’s Breakfast Club is a delicious exercise in morning meals. The menu runs the gamut of breakfast favorites, from toast with loads of decadent toppings to Benedicts, breakfast sandwiches, omelets, waffles and more.
Kickstart your morning with something spicy from El Chorro. The Paradise Valley resto’s brunch stuns with ricotta toast, huevos rancheros, tamale bowls and breakfast hash. Sweet offerings include a whole-grain porridge waffle and lemon ricotta pancakes.
Who says healthy has to be boring? This certainly isn’t the case at Farm & Craft, where each weekend brunch is certifiably delicious with none of the pesky guilt. Start with the strawberries and burrata, then graduate to a more hearty meal, like vanilla protein pancakes or the harvest avocado toast.
Fuel up for a fabulous shopping spree at Scottsdale Fashion Square’s Francine. The resto’s French fare features a Mediterranean twist, as seen in the orange and almond brioche French toast, omelets crafted with Boursin cheese and succulent seafood, from oysters on the half shell to crab, shrimp and more.
Get the party started with Hash Kitchen’s electric brunch. The home of the original build-your-own bloody mary bar also cranks up the tunes with local DJs every weekend. Standout menu items include the cannoli donuts, Billionaire’s bacon, Benedict fries, and a wide variety of hashes, Benedicts, pancakes and scramblers.
Head to Lons in Paradise Valley for fresh, regional ingredients crafted into chef-driven favorites. Whet your whistle with a bloody Maria, a spicy take on the bloody mary, with tequila and jalapeno-tomatillo juice, best paired with breakfast fried rice and pork pozole with poached eggs.
Cozy booths, mood lighting and California-Mediterranean fare transport diners to the French Riviera at Olive + Ivy. Must-try brunch items include the eatery’s famous cinnamon rolls, bacon-wrapped dates, Atlantic salmon and lasagna bolognese.
Boasting two Scottsdale locations, The Herb Box makes brunch easier (and more delicious) than ever. Swing by on Saturday for $20 bottomless mimosas or on Sunday for 50% off select Champagne bottles, plus dedicated breakfast favorites, flavorful shared plates and more.
The Mission’s sophisticated yet casual Latin cuisine extends to its weekend brunch menu, featuring items like grilled street corn, chilaquiles, a chorizo scramble and plenty of tempting tacos, from crispy rock shrimp to mahi mahi.
