Brunch Opening May 31, 2011

Brunch, a new restaurant opening in River North promises to be the place for breakfast and lunch in Chicago. Featuring a modern, environmentally-friendly interior, in addition to contemporary menu items. Appealing not only to the leisure breakfast and lunch crowd, Brunch distinguishes itself with several unique features that will appeal to local businesspeople. The restaurant will feature a shoe shine booth, a private meeting room equipped with a teleconference system and Wi-Fi, a newsstand, and a convenient express station located at the front of the restaurant, which offers pastries, espresso, and coffee to-go.

Under the direction of Executive Chef Daniel Tibbetts, the menu features a mix of classic brunch items like over-easy eggs and toast, as well as a wide variety of omelets, pancakes, pastries, and lunch items, including sandwiches, burgers, soups, and salads. The dining room will also spotlight its breakfast bar with fresh, cooked-to-order waffles, smoothies, and a wide variety of soda, and organic beverages.

Brunch focuses on environmental sustainability with a special reusable coffee mug program, which allows customers to bring in their own coffee mugs to use for hot drinks, in an effort to reduce the amount of water wasted when washing dishes. Patrons also have the choice to leave their mugs at the restaurant, which will then be put into a regular rotation with the rest of the serving dishes. In addition, Brunch utilizes take-away boxes made from recycled material.

The restaurant is open daily from 6 a.m. to 3 p.m. The restaurant is easily accessible by public transportation
