Top 6 Brunch Spots With Mimosas and More in Virginia

At Koons Woodbridge Buick GMC, we know how important it is to find the perfect spot when you’d like to share a meal with loved ones. Sometimes brunch and a nice mimosa — or two — is just what you need to celebrate good news or catch up with friends and family on the weekend. We have a few self-proclaimed Virginia connoisseurs in our dealership staff that helped us put together this list of the top six brunch spots with mimosas and more in Virginia.

Tupelo Honey

Tupelo Honey has been around for more than 20 years. The restaurant specializes in a modern rendition of Southern food and culture. They work with farmers who use responsible practices to produce the ingredients that go into the made-from-scratch seasonal menus. In Virginia, there is a location in Virginia Beach and one in Arlington.

The bar menu includes four different kinds of mimosas and six different bloody mary cocktails for you to try. You could always choose the traditional versions of each, but if you’re looking to be more adventurous, we recommend the Blueberry Lavender mimosa and the Black Pepper bloody mary. Also, Tupelo Honey is known for their Biscuits for a Cause that not only taste amazing but also help fundraise for Tupelo employees who are in need. Other must-try items on the menu are the Classic Chicken & Waffles, the All I ‘Avo’ Wanted Bennie, and the Mountain Blueberry Griddle.

The Bungalow Lakehouse

If you and your friends and family are nature lovers, brunch outdoors and lakeside in Sterling at The Bungalow Lakehouse. The restaurant, which has a rustic, old Victorian country club feel, serves brunch on Saturdays and Sundays only. The wait for the weekend will be worth it for their breakfast pizza, featuring scrambled eggs, applewood smoked bacon, cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses, and sausage gravy. 

We also recommend you try the Chesapeake eggs Benedict, made with crabcakes Maryland-style with real crab, and served with sauteed spinach, a toasted English muffin, old bay hollandaise, and fruit and home fries on the side. There is a flight of vodka mimosas available that you may enjoy, and there’s always the classic mimosa if you’re looking for a bubbly refreshing drink to go with your brunch.

Silver Diner

Silver Diner is a regional chain with 10 locations in Virginia. The founders and staff have a strong commitment to their customers, providers, and community, which includes promoting health and wellness. For example, the restaurant raises funds for nutrition and fitness programs in schools. You can also see this philosophy come to life through their menu, which offers a variety of healthier options to cater to plant-based, vegetarian, gluten-free, and heart-healthy lifestyles.

We recommend you try the Avocado Toast & Eggs, which the diner serves on sourdough bread with hemp hearts, olive oil, microgreens, and cage-free eggs. If you’re craving a sweet brunch instead, go for the Caramel French Toast, which Silver Diner makes with challah bread. Choose among two varieties each of classic mimosas, deluxe mimosas, or bloody mary cocktails, or sip on a Baileys Cold Brew. While brunch is available all day, every day, you can enjoy cocktails only on the weekends at Silver Diner.

Palette 22

Palette 22 in Arlington has a weekend bottomless brunch special for $28.22. This means you may order nearly anything you like on the brunch menu. The restaurant specializes in tapas-style small plates, which means the vibe at Palette 22 is made especially for friends and family to enjoy the shareable, globally inspired dishes. There are plenty of tasty options to customize your meal, so this special is a local favorite. 

For brunch, we recommend you try the French Toast Sticks, made with brioche, and the Arepas Benedict, which comes with bacon, avocado, chipotle hollandaise, and a poached egg. Palette 22 also has options to add a bellini, mimosa, or bloody mary to your bottomless brunch for $4.22. Bottomless carries over into the restaurant’s lunch and dinner menu as well.

Hair of the Dog

This restaurant specializes in breakfast food and drinks. They have six mimosa varieties you can enjoy individually or as part of a flight taster. Bloody marys are also available as a flight, where you get to choose three out of six varieties. You can also try their three varieties of eggs Benedicts as part of a flight. It’s the reason some of the restaurant’s patrons return to Hair of the Dog often. If you’re not that hungry, start with the Pleasure Point eggs Benedict, made with poached eggs, roasted peppers, goat cheese, spinach, and hollandaise on an English muffin.

Other interesting dishes we recommend you try are the Betty White, which is a regular eggs, bacon, and toast breakfast that comes with a shot of whiskey; the French Toast, served with bourbon maple syrup; and the Carnivore Omelet, which features Andouille sausage, bacon, ham, and delicious Gouda cheese. If you are vegetarian or are just looking for something lighter, you might try the Vegetable Omelet instead. Both of them come with your choice of stone-ground grits, cheese grits, or home fries. This eclectic menu is a must-see and must-try.

Bistro L’hermitage

Our list could not be complete without a local favorite, Bistro L’hermitage. We recommend you try the Bistro Omelet or the Oeuf Benedict a la Norvegienne (eggs Benedict with smoked salmon and sauteed spinach) during brunch on the weekends. Bistro L’hermitage, located under 15 minutes from our dealership in Woodbridge, is a French restaurant that has been recognized by reviewers online for its romantic atmosphere and exceptional service.
