Second Place: The Jefferson

Third Place: Can Can Brasserie

It's inconceivable that anyone will ever knock Millie's brunch out of Richmonders' hearts and plates. Perhaps it's because it was doing brunch so well long before most, but the devoted still line up in the heat, the rain and the cold for the devil's mess or the gargantuan spicy black bean burrito set to a jukebox soundtrack. The Jefferson's Sunday brunch is another tradition, although it requires a much larger commitment on the part of stomach and wallet. Can Can, with both a view of Carytown and outdoor seating, shines with the house-baked pastries and breads that define a European morning meal.
