I don’t know why Easter and brunch go hand in hand. You hardly ever hear of anyone talking about Easter dinner and certainly not Easter breakfast. So brunch it is, and why not? Any opportunity for eggs Benedict and Bloody Marys is a good opportunity. Here is a list of places to check out this Sunday afternoon.
State Road Restaurant in West Tisbury is reopening on Thursday, April 5, after their winter break. Sunday will be dedicated to brunch (no dinner service) and while the menu is still in the works, it promises to be spring-inspired. Call 508-693-8582 for details.
The Harbor View Hotel in Edgartown is hosting their annual Grand Easter Brunch Buffet starting at 10 am in Water Street Restaurant. The lavish brunch display will include a carving station, omelet station, and raw bar featuring local oysters in addition to cold selections such as salads, seasonal fruit, a cheese board, vegetable quiche and smoked salmon with accoutrements. Hot selections include organic chicken breast with spring potatoes and blue lake beans, and New England cod cakes with dill and capers. Dessert will follow for those who save room. Brunch is $48 for adults and $24 for children under 12.
The Easter Egg Hunt starts at 10:30 am on the front lawn of the hotel and is open to the public. Thanks to the Martha’s Vineyard Museum, the Edgartown Lighthouse will be open for tours. Time to dust your Easter bonnet off and be sure to wear it to the Easter Egg Hunt, as the best bonnet will be rewarded. Call 508-627-3761 for reservations.
