A Walk Through Seasons, DC's Most Expensive Brunch

Grid View

What does $80 get you at the most expensive brunch in town? An unlimited amount of pork chops, braised short ribs, seasonal vegetable dishes, custom omelets, french toast sticks, sausage, poached shrimp, crab claws, oysters, Asian noodles, bagels, salads, soups, mimosas and cured meats, just to name a few items.

You'll find the brunch at Seasons, the power breakfast spot within the exclusive Four Seasons hotel in Georgetown. The lower-level restaurant received a $1 million renovation to its design last year, and with it came an upgrade to the menu. Gone are more dated (but delicious) items such as the chocolate fountain, and replacing it are a raw bar, farm-focused dishes and more. The menu changes seasonally.

Can't afford $80 to drop on brunch (or $100 for the special holiday version)? Live vicariously and take the photo tour above, which chronicles a typical Sunday at the restaurant, and check out a sample menu.
