THE BEST OF THE BRUNCH Be it a late breakfast, an early lunch or a bit of both, start your day sunny-side up at one of these versatile establishments. CHAPEL GRILLE Location: Cranston This stunning, historic, cathedral-like venue offers beautiful panoramic views and an award-winning brunch buffet with an intercontinental station (pastries, bagels, cheeses and smoked salmon), chef-attended stations (omelet, carving and pasta) and self-serving stations (scram- bled eggs, fresh fruit, bacon and more). Our Pick: Check out the mimosa and bloody Mary bar for unlimited drinks at just $15. DANTE’S KITCHEN Location: East Greenwich Dante’s Kitchen brings southern comfort and culture to the Northeast. Enjoy specialties like pulled pork hash, biscuits, huevos rancheros, jambalaya and fried chicken and waffles at this cool, intimate, urban loft-style eatery. Our Pick: Try out the flavorful Baton Rouge Lemonade, the Dante’s Inferno Bloody Mary or the South of the Border Sangria from the specialty drinks menu. CALEB AND BROAD Location: Newport Pop-art-meets-graffiti at this industrial “Sunday Funday” locale. Caleb and Broad has a unique menu consisting of sushi burritos, chicken lollipops, firecracker shrimp wonton and more. Try out the brunch bar snacks including crispy edamame and sweet chili crispy tofu bites. Our Pick: No one can resist the gluten-free breakfast bowl, made up of smokey home fries, creamed spinach, egg and linguica scramble and cheddar cheese. JULIAN’S Location: Providence Fanatics will say this modern eclectic establishment is all about the bennies (pick your poison: traditional, Florentine or even vegan St. Jamez), but Julian’s also boasts an impressive list of additional egg dishes, as well as hashes, sandwiches and sweets. Our Pick: The scrambled egg pizza is a must-have with its plum tomatoes, mild ched- dar and choice of avocado, applewood smoked bacon or smoked salmon on naan. PERSIMMON Location: Providence Get ready to mark your calendars: Persimmon preps and serves its delish brunch menu just once a month, usually the first or second Sunday from 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Visitors can expect typical brunch fare (think omelets and burgers), classic Persimmon offerings (like Bolognese or shellfish variations) and specialty cocktails (Aperol Spritz, anyone?). Our Pick: Though the menu is fluid, we always look out for options like the eggs Bene- dict, the smoked salmon and / or the house-baked cinnamon rolls. 26    YOUR ULTIMATE SUMMER GUIDE 2020 Brunch at Persimmon often includes options like cream- and chocolate-filled doughnut holes, house-baked cinnamon rolls, beef top loin tartare, a three-egg omelet with truffles, eggs Benedict and smoked salmon. ’t Don iss!
