Best Easter Brunch Menus In Minnesota

By Linda Cameron

On April 1, the race will be on for Easter brunch at Minnesota restaurants. Some will supplement regular brunch, breakfast and lunch with an Easter menu. Others will serve their regular weekend breakfast, lunch and brunch specials. Whether you willingly shell out for a fancy feast or sparingly squeeze out brunch money, local restaurants will be dishing out their Easter best.

Whether you come to Burnsville or go to Brooklyn Park, Sunday brunch at Roasted Pear is the perfect way to celebrate Easter. The eggs benedict dishes, made to order in classic Hollandaise or Florentine style, or with salmon or sausage, are in a class of their own. Even standard brunch fare - namely eggs, bacon, waffles, hash browns and sausage - have their own breakfast twists. The usual brunch prices change for Easter Sunday but why bicker? Lunchtime begins at 11:30 a.m., if you can wait. Whether brunch or lunch, you get complimentary juice, mimosa or glass of champagne.
