The Avo’gooday at Snowbird Cocktail Lounge & Kitchen in Frisco.
| Snowbird Cocktail Lounge & Kitchen

In Dallas, brunch is a contact sport that ends in clinking glasses and the finest preparation of eggs, pancakes, and pastries. This is why it’s essential to know exactly where to find French toast worth going to the mats for, crispy bacon worth waiting for, and the strongest mimosas one can find to block out the memory of how long it took to get a table.

This city is littered with excellent brunch options, but these options are worth putting on the bucket list.

This East Dallas bakery has all the croissants, danishes, and other breakfast bites any heart could desire, but it’s also serving up brunch-y specials every weekend. There is no set menu.

Dolce Riviera
