Market on South 2603 E. South St., 407-613-5968 This restaurant, bakery and bar combo offers a plant-based dining experience. But just because there isn’t any meat on the menu, don’t think that means you won’t find be able to find a hearty meal. Veggie-lovers and carnivores alike love the Georgia peach sloppy joe and the pulled Carolina BBQ jackfruit sandwich. And because everything is vegan, you don’t have to feel guilty when you complete your order with some crispy Brussels sprouts and a giant cranberry-lemon curd donut. Photo via marketonsouth/Instagram
Slate 8323 W. Sandlake Road, 407-500-7528 At Slate, a tidy little cocktail menu is surprisingly refreshing, especially the Morning Aperitivo: Aperol, lemonade, Bittermen’s Boston Bittahs and bubbles. The menu is to die for as well, making the drive down to Dr. Phillips more than worth it. Photo via Slate/Facebook
The Osprey Tavern 4899 New Broad St., 407-960-7700 Dining here is a sensuous experience. The farmer’s board to start, and the sausage burger with avocado, fried eggs and roasties on an English muffin are both best menu picks. Instead of a class mimosa, try a glass of the brunch punch.

Chef Eddie’s 595 W. Church St., 407-826-1731 Judged on food alone, Eddie James could very well be serving the finest comfort food in town. We made quick work of the complimentary plate of jalapeño crackling muffins (served with pineapple honey butter). The speciality is chicken and waffles, so you must try one of the sweet yet savory dishes. There’s red velvet, butter pecan, banana walnut and apple cinnamon. Photo via imabiznessmayne/Instagram
Plancha 10100 Dream Tree Blvd., 407-313-7777 This Caribbean-infused brunch is inside the Tranquilo Golf Course clubhouse at the five-diamond resort, the Four Seasons.

Outpost Neighborhood Kitchen 2603 Edgewater Dr., 407-930-6282 The sun is shining at College Park’s vintage-tinged Outpost when it’s brunchtime.

Whether you’re biting the hair of the dog or just looking to fend off the hunger, you won’t want to skip out on the buffalo shrimp Benedict. Photo via rachelpaoyo:/Instagram
Artisan’s Table 22 E. Pine St., 407-730-7499 Don’t let its lavish-looking exterior fool you; your wallet will find a variety of options here that are both economically feasible yet surprisingly filling.

Nothing kick-starts your day like a Tequilaccino. Photo via josecarlosguzman/Instagram
Kokino 7705 Turkey Lake Road, 407-270-9199 It’s a toss-up what you’ll get a Kokino’s Sunday brunch since they change the menu each week, but we can guarantee you’ll get a meal worth talking about. They’ve got a huge variety of morning dishes like steak and eggs, frittatas and broiled oysters – and with most dishes served tapas-style, you won’t have to miss out on any of the delectables at this brunch.

Central Blvd., 407-849-1800 Greg Richie’s imaginative take on Southern classics has made Soco one of downtown’s favorite brunch destinations, thanks to dishes like slow-roasted barbecue-glazed pork belly biscuits, their Soco-style chicken and dumplings and crab-stuffed deviled duck eggs.

Pharmacy 8060 Via Dellagio Way, 407-985-2972 The libation slingers at Pharmacy just recently got their doctorate in brunch and our hunger couldn’t be more pleased. Expect to see the usual suspects like omelets, fried chicken and waffles and maple sticky buns on this brunch menu, but while you’re here, you’ll have no choice but to order one of their carefully crafted cocktails, like the Bloody Michelada – a whiskey and Bloody Mary concoction.

Hamburger Mary’s 110 W. Church St., 321-319-0600 It might actually be a felony to skip out on a burger when you go to Hamburger Mary’s, even if it is 11 in the morning.

We all know meals tastes better accompanied by a show, and the esteemed performers at Sunday’s Broadway Brunch never disappoint. Photo via gothikbettie/Instagram

Two Chefs Seafood Oyster Bar 743 N. Magnolia Ave., 407-270-4740 Try not to judge this resto by its decor. Judge it by its fried chicken instead. Did the crackling skin elicit hearty grunts of approval? Did the flesh induce in us a lubricious haze? Were our digits licked clean of crunchy, seasoned residue? Yes, yes and oh hell yes.

California Grill 4660 World Dr., 407-939-3463 Come here for brunch with a view. You can feast on shrimp and cheddar grits with a spicy tomato broth while overlooking Magic Kingdom. Finish the over-the-top brunch with the chocolate truffles. Photo via jonbusdeker/Instagram
Christo’s Cafe 1815 Edgewater Drive, 407-425-8136 There’s no better place to have a pre-noon meal. That sentiment has less to do with the food than with the utterly calming environs, though a recent breakfast on a cool morn amid a light drizzle was made all the more memorable by the lamb and feta-filled Greek omelet, a stack of silver dollar pancakes, deep-fried French toast with bananas and bottomless cups of coffee.
