SAN FRANCISCO, May 9, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- As we look
forward to feting the moms in our lives over brioche French toast and bellinis on Mother's Day, the
most popular day to dine out for brunch, OpenTable, the
world's leading provider of online restaurant reservations and part of The Priceline Group (NASDAQ: PCLN), today unveiled the
100 Best Brunch
Restaurants in America for 2017. These awards reflect the combined opinions of more than 10 million restaurant reviews
submitted by verified OpenTable diners for more than 24,000 restaurants in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.
From restaurants serving up classic comfort dishes and lavish buffets to those offering eclectic twists on traditional brunch
fare, the complete list features winning restaurants in 36 states and Washington, D.C., and
includes El Techo in
San Francisco, The Rainbow Room in New York
City and Brennan's in New Orleans. California, a hot spot for both its beaches and ingredient-driven food scene, comes out on top with
10 winning restaurants, followed by Texas and Virginia with
eight each, Florida and North Carolina with six a piece, and
Pennsylvania and Washington both claiming five.
Because brunch has become such a decidedly American pastime, it isn't surprising that the majority of winners specialize in
American fare. However, Creole, French, fusion, Italian, and Mediterranean cuisines are also present on the list.
"Brunch has become as synonymous with Mother's Day celebrations as it has the weekend, and the
repertoire of dishes associated with the midday meal has expanded exponentially," said Caroline
Potter, OpenTable Chief Dining Officer. "No longer an after-thought, this meal at these winning restaurants has become a
showcase for culinary diversity, with restaurants serving everything from classic Eggs Benedict and buttermilk pancakes to
succulent fried chicken with waffles, chorizo scrambles, and luxe buffets with made-to-order stations and raw bars that would
delight even the most avid eaters."
The 100 Best
Brunch Restaurants in America list is generated solely from more than 10 million verified OpenTable diner reviews collected
between March 1, 2016 and February 28, 2017. All restaurants with a
minimum "overall" score and number of qualifying reviews were included for consideration. Qualifying restaurants were then scored
and sorted according to the percentage of reviews for which "great for brunch" was selected as a special feature.
Based on this methodology, the following restaurants, listed in alphabetical order, comprise the 100 Best Brunch Restaurants in America for
2017 according to OpenTable diners. The complete list may also be viewed at https://www.opentable.com/m/best-brunch-restaurants-in-america-2017.
