Brunch is a huge part of D.C. culture, and summer would typically be the prime time for diners to flock to patios and rooftops hosting day drinking sessions and bottomless meals. While those experiences don’t necessarily translate to a takeout format, a handful of businesses are figuring out how to package mimosas, bloody marys, French toast, and more for customers to eat at home.

A number of D.C. area restaurants have resumed dine-in service. However, this should not be taken as endorsement for dining in, as there are still safety concerns. The Washington Post is tracking coronavirus cases and deaths in D.C., Maryland, and Virginia. More information can be found at coronavirus.dc.gov. Studies indicate that there is a lower exposure risk when outdoors, but the level of risk involved with patio dining is contingent on restaurants following strict social distancing and other safety guidelines.

This list is ordered geographically from north to south.
