(202) 332-6767

Agora, in Dupont Circle, is one of DC’s hottest brunch spots, serving traditional Mediterranean cuisine inspired by Executive Chef Ismet Sahin’s upbringing in Turkey. For the incredible value of $45 per plate, you’ll get far more than your money’s worth with drinks and food. You’ll start off with champagne and/or mimosas, which the servers make sure never run dry. Then there will be new plates of food on your table every few minutes: pita so fresh and hot it’ll burn you to tear, htpiti, a salty roasted red pepper and feta mixture, the mixed cheese flatbread, which is the perfect marriage of cheesy garlic bread and a white pizza, not to mention plenty of delicious egg options, like a Manchego Omelette and Salmon Eggs Benedict. Your entire group will be stuffed, buzzed, and ecstatic with your experience.

14. Pisco Y Nazca

N 19th St & N 18th St, Washington, DC 20036
(202) 559-3726

Peruvian food is always an excellent idea, especially when you combine it with bottomless mimosas! It’s a steal at just over $20 per person. Combine it with their prix fixe menu to get a sampling of all the good start. We love the causa, a Peruvian potato based delicacy and the cholo benedicto with pork belly and plantain. Be aware that bottomless service ends at 3:45pm so plan accordingly.
