Before brunch was the staple it is today, there was Easter brunch. (Although maybe in olden times, they called it lunch.) Whatever it was called, the migration to munch following Easter Sunday services is a tradition that dates back decades.

In more recent years, brunch has evolved into a weekly celebration — but the Easter Sunday brunch will always remain a standout brunch and thus deserves its own list.

In 2026, Easter falls slightly on the early side: April 5. That's less than a month away. Never too soon to get those reservations in.
