9 brunch rooms in Burlington we have eaten in, sorted by editor score. All cuisines in Burlington | Brunch across every city.
Weekend brunch is a genuine Burlington institution, split between waterfront crepes, old-school diner plates and newer chef-driven rooms. The Skinny Pancake on the Lake Street corner pours cheap crepes with lake views, Handy's Lunch keeps the 1945 corner-diner tradition going, and Sneakers Bistro and Cafe has served two floors of brunch in downtown Winooski since 1980. Newer additions like Misery Loves Co.'s bruncheonette and the weekend brunch at Onion City Chicken and Oyster carry the contemporary end.
