Best Bets For Eating Out On Easter In Dallas
Family coming into town and now there are too many people to cook for? Burnt Easter dinner and now you need a back-up plan? Want a relaxing Easter brunch for two? Just want an excuse to indulge in the vices you gave up for 40 days? Here are some suggestions for a delicious Easter meal out, no matter what you are looking for.
Breadwinner's Café
3301 McKinney Ave.
Dallas, TX 75204
(214) 754-4940
www.breadwinnerscafe.com
Sunday Hours: 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., 5 p.m. to 9 p.m.
Brunch at Breadwinner's Cafe is always delicious, whether you prefer indulging in a bananas foster waffle or munching on a Caesar salad. There is always a crowd waiting outside the Uptown location, and the other locations are just as popular on holidays. The restaurant doesn't take reservations for Sunday brunch though, so be prepared to wait, especially if you go close to noon. For large parties, check out their reservation policies. Don't forget about the locations in Inwood Village and Plano.
Mi Piaci
14854 Montfort Dr.
Dallas, TX 75254
(972) 934-8424
www.mipiaci-dallas.com
Sunday Hours: 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
In addition to Mi Piaci's Easter champagne brunch, the restaurant is known for its Easter egg hunt when kids can take a break from their brunch to search the lawn for surprises. The food is far from a traditional Easter meal since this is an Italian restaurant, so if you are looking for something different, this may just be your spot. Reservations are a must.

Cafe on the Green is the priciest option on this list, but one to keep in mind, nonetheless. Dinner or brunch is available at Café on the Green, the dining experience at the Four Seasons in Las Colinas. The herbs and vegetables on your plate are truly fresh since they come from an on-site garden. Your whole family can enjoy this feast in one of the private dining rooms that hold up to 20 people. Call ahead for inquiries about one of these or to get the special Easter menu. Children menus are available as well.
