Just in time for Mother’s Day, reservation service OpenTable has released their 2021 list of the 100 Best Brunch Restaurants in America, including three Massachusetts spots that they say are worth getting out of bed for: The Aviary Restaurant & Bar, Buttermilk & Bourbon and Ledger Restaurant & Bar.
We’re not guaranteeing you’ll be able to get a table – that’s on you – but, if you’re looking for a place to enjoy your favorite comfort foods and boozy breakfast drinks, these come highly recommended by OpenTable diners.
The Aviary Restaurant & Bar in Swansea serves brunch on Sundays and is known for dishes such as their BLT omelet, huevos rancheros and The Nutty Pananacakes - buttermilk banana pancakes with Nutella, toasted almonds and whipped cream.
Buttermilk & Bourbon, located in Boston’s Back Bay, is a Southern restaurant with a weekend brunch that offers crawfish étouffée, pulled pork benedict and biscuits & gravy. They’ve also concocted a soft serve mimosa – a combination of sorbet and prosecco.
Ledger Restaurant & Bar in Salem offers Sunday brunch, with creative menu items like pork belly & grits, chicken and waffles and fried brussels sprout hash.
OpenTable based their list on diner reviews published between April 1, 2020 and March 31, 2021.
