Where To Go For Brunch In Charlotte
Because French toast and mimosa flights are the best part of the week
Stacks of pancakes, smoked salmon, crispy bacon, eggs all kinds of ways, and maybe even a breakfast cocktail (or three) make this a meal worth getting out of bed for. Here’s where to go if you’re looking for brunch in Charlotte:
Supperland
1212 The Plaza
A buffet table in the main aisle of the church-turned-restaurant holds pastries, salads, cured meats, fresh fruits, and tea sandwiches. Hot items like frittatas and Benedicts are lined up along the chef’s counter. But before you can help yourself to this tempting spread, another server appears with a platter of warm cinnamon rolls topped with thick dollops of icing and offers you a pair of tongs. Just say yes and settle in with this confectionary masterpiece—a buffet pre-gamer, if you will.
