Davanti Enoteca Chicago

Copy Link

Bloody Mary fans will be in heaven at the sight of Davanti Enoteca’s massive Bloody Mary bar. Create your own from a variety of sauces, pickled items, meats and more. Then start with a plate of cheeses and cured meats before moving onto Italian brunch dishes such as frittata Bianca, rigatoni with sausage and oven roasted tomatoes, and a selection of pizzas.

If the Asian fusion cuisine doesn’t make you feel better, one look at the ridiculous Sunda Bloody Mary Cart will. Build your own monstrous concoction with a plethora of ingredients before digging into a menu full of signature maki (rainbow roll), dim sum (oxtail potstickers), noodles (pad thai) and other more traditional brunch flavors such as chicken & waffles and smoked salmon & crab benedict.

Longman & Eagle

A little hair of the dog and a shot of whiskey will cure any lingering ailments from the previous night and you won’t find a larger selection than at Longman & Eagle. If that’s not enough, order the PBR Breakfast with two eggs, bacon or housemade sausage, house potatoes and a can of PBR. Other dishes include steak & eggs, chicken & waffles and a wild boar sloppy joe that’s better than any other version you’ve had of the sandwich.

Au Cheval

Au Cheval is good pretty much any hour of the day but it’ll definitely hit the spot after a night of drinking.
