The Best Brunch Menus in Des Moines

When the weekend rolls around and you are craving that special meal between breakfast and lunch, you have several options not too far from Springs Apartment to relax and enjoy a satisfying brunch. Whether you are looking for basic eggs and bacon, or something more along the fancy side, Des Moines has a range of brunch options to consider.

Django
210 10th Street

With the motto "All French, no attitude," Djano offers up a menu that is pure breakfast and tres bien. Dig into the caramel apple French toast served with sweetened mascarpone cheese, candied walnuts and dark rum caramel. Or for something savory, your choice could be the Fromage a Trois omelet, which lives up to its name with three warm cheeses - Swiss, Parmesan and bleu - nestled with baby spinach. And if you are hearing the call of the mer, or the sea, the seafood crêpes could be your breakfast siren song. Served with béarnaise sauce, the shrimp and crap meat crêpes taste extra good with a blood orange mimosa. 

Americana
1312 Logust Street

This elegant, sleek eatery offers a brunch buffet on Saturdays and Sundays that includes 30 tempting items like a customized grill cheese station, assorted pastries, veggie egg muffins and a Mexican egg fajita station. And don't forget the homestyle bread pudding for a little down-home yumminess in upscale surroundings. Add on the bottomless Bloody Mary and Mimosa option and you have a brunch quite different from Sundays at grandma's house. 

Home Plate Diner
304 East 30th Street

If a meal that conjures up grandma's house is your craving, then Home Plate Diner should be your brunch destination. With basic brunch goodness like eggs, hash browns, bacon, and sausage, this East 30th Street hashery will fill your belly and heart with well cooked food topped with love. Make sure you try the chicken-fried steak and biscuits and gravy. 

Le Jardin
2815 Beaver Avenue

Le Jardin serves up rustic French food using locally sourced foods and their brunch is both creative and flavorful. Order a serving of crêpe Bayonne made with smoked ham, gruyère and béchamel sauce. Or get a taste of the French countryside with an earthy mushroom omelet with white truffle oil. 

So, this weekend don't be satisfied with a bowl of Wheaties in front of the television for breakfast. Gather your friends and family and head out to one of Des Moines' great brunch places to eat some great food, relax and remember what a weekend is for.
