6 brunch places in Buffalo we have eaten in, sorted by editor score. All cuisines in Buffalo | Brunch across every city.

Buffalo brunch leans on the neighborhood restaurant rather than the hotel dining room, often built around farm-driven kitchens that open late on weekends. Betty on Virginia Street and Remedy House on Rhode Island Street anchor the modern brunch scene, while Sophia's Restaurant on Military Road draws a steady morning crowd for its sprawling breakfast menu. The result is a brunch culture spread across the West Side and Allentown rather than concentrated in one strip.
