Among the many topics D.C.-area residents take seriously, brunch outshines them all once the sun rises over the weekend morning, with Baltic fare from Ambar, bottomless oysters at Brine, dim sum from Woodley Park’s new Han Palace, all alongside plenty of that liquid sunshine known as mimosas for the bleary-eyed. There’s something for everyone between bottomless deals, those tried-and-true essential brunch spots, sunny, portable breakfast sandwiches, and the hottest new brunches landing in the region.

Here’s a list of the top spots for bottomless brunch deals around the D.C. area, taking into account special dishes, drink selection, or overall value. All of the following offer a little something special beyond the bottomless mimosas.

Maybe the best unlimited brunch is the one not limited to the weekend. That’s the beauty of the Halfsmoke brunch, which offers a brunch entree and bottomless mimosas all day, every day for $45. The Halfsmoke lovers hash with Halfsmoke Italian sausage, eggs, potato hash, and white mushroom gravy is a solid savory choice. Sweet options don’t disappoint either, with a Cinnamon Toast Crunch-flavored French toast.
