Brunch is the perfect way to get together with friends, whether just for fun or to celebrate a special occasion like a holiday or birthday. The versatile meal mixes a variety of flavor profiles as well as delectable drinks. Here are a few ideas for planning your next brunch with your friends.

3 Brunch Ideas

1. Varied Menu

Choose a restaurant that offers a variety of dishes to suit each guest’s palate and dietary restrictions, such as gluten-free or vegetarian diets. Have a selection of meats, veggies, fruits, and both hot and cold plates. Many menus feature a variety of omelettes, some with meat, some without. Make sure your vegan friends have more options beyond a fruit salad.

2. Themes

Add a theme to your brunch date for extra fun. Themes can be incorporated into your outfits and decor for the table as well as influence the menu choices. For a sweet treats party, look for a bakery or restaurant that specializes in donuts and baked goods. For a tea party, head to a quaint cafe where guests can deck out in their best dresses and hats to sip tea and nibble on scones.

3. Bottomless Drinks

brunchBottomless drinks are a popular choice these days. The usual cocktails for brunch are mimosas and Bloody Marys, which pair well with both sweet and savory dishes.

However, when choosing this option, make sure guests drink responsibly. Keep water on the table, and make sure everyone is eating enough to match their beverage intake. Also, swap out the cocktails with mocktails before anyone drives home.
