Sauvignon Wine Locker opens for brunch on Sundays at 10:30. They have some spectacular Italian and American dishes on the regular menu that can be ordered during brunch, and the brunch items will blow you away as well. Our favorites are the Biscuits & Sausage Gravy and the Oxtail Hash.
The Bier Boutique uniquely does brunch on Mondays from 11-3. This makes for a fun crowd of service industry folks, tourists, and anyone that doesn’t have a 9-5 Mon-Fri gig, (which is more and more people these days). We love the Breakfast Tots – A pile of housemade tater tots loaded up with cheddar cheese, bacon croutons, a fried egg & chives with a side of sour cream. Also, the Tots & Gravy and the Brunch Burger are excellent choices.

Cassis offers American classics with subtle French influences for brunch, lunch, and dinner. They serve simple, hearty food and drinks at affordable prices right on Beach Drive. Cassis has lots of outdoor seating offering a great view and is ideal for people watching. My favorite item is the Chorizo Sausage Benedict – homemade biscuit, avocado, smoked paprika, hollandaise. By the way, they have the best sausage links I have ever had and they offer fresh squeezed orange juice.

Datz is certainly the place for a hearty brunch. They are the home of comfort food with flair, a foodie wonderland filled with bacon, cheese, and house-made breads. The Shrimp & Grits have cream cheese and an Indian Makhani sauce that is delicious. They have a bunch of great burgers that use Certified Angus Beef, and two that they’re famous for are The Cheesy Todd, where instead of a bun, you have two bacon-jalapeño mac n’ cheese “buns.” And there’s the Double D where you have two whole glazed doughnuts instead of a hamburger bun.

Noble Crust has been famous for their brunch since day one, when they opened in 2015. People rave about the Lemon Ricotta Pancakes, Fried Chicken Biscuit, Sausage gravy + egg, Fried Chicken + Waffle, Strawberry Cheesecake French Toast, and Bronzed Salmon Benny. We love the Short Rib Benny – Poached eggs, caramelized onions, bearnaise, crispy shallots, buttermilk biscuit, and from the regular menu (which you can order during brunch) the F.G.B.L.T. – fried green tomatoes, Tabasco-honey glazed pork belly, pimento cheese.

With two bars, an indoor and outdoor, an elaborate fountain with outside courtyard dining and the most extensive selection of tequilas and Mezcals in the South, Red Mesa Cantina is nothing short of a lively Mexican brunch with a menu that delivers bold, fresh flavors. I love the Steak & Eggs – 6oz. grilled steak, chile arbol sauce, queso fresco, fried potato hash and two eggs any style. They also serve breakfast tacos, burritos, ceviches and quesadillas along with many other scrumptious offerings.

For an ultimate, all-American, gustatory experience, visit The Urban Stillhouse in the Warehouse Arts District in St. Pete. The Urban Stillhouse offers a completely immersive adventure for your tastebuds and senses. This extraordinary restaurant is influenced by the history of Horse Soldier Bourbon and offers a wonderful space to enjoy great food by Chef Kenny Tufo. The 16,000 sq. ft restaurant houses an extensive restaurant on two levels, two stunning bars, intimate private event spaces and more. The atmosphere is charming with a rustic and modern twist from the leather couches, bourbon barrels, a beautiful fireplace and striking decor every which way you look. Pretty much anytime I go out for breakfast or brunch, my eyes immediately look for the eggs benedict. The Stillhouse Eggs Benedict is now my favorite in all of St. Pete with biscuits, fried green tomato, porchetta, chive and hollandaise served with home fried potatoes. Steak and Eggs with two sunny side up eggs, a medium-rare steak, and home fried potatoes.
