Every Saturday and Sunday from 10am-2pm, the tasteful café prepares a menu of exquisite brunch offerings (some with an Italian twist!). One of its specialties is the Roma frittata, a hearty blend of eggs, potatoes, fresh tomato, Italian sausage and basil. Another worthwhile indulgence: an individual 10-inch pizza. Those hankering for something a little sweeter, there are banana Nutella crepes and cranberry French toast. Pro tip: Take advantage of the sidewalk tables while the weather is still warm.

Waterzooi
The Belgian bistro, decorated with old-world Brooklyn aesthetics like stained glass and rustic architecture, has a weekend brunch selection to write home about. There is lobster eggs Benedict, French onion soup, gourmet burgers and of course the famous mussel pots. Diners can also dabble with the Brussels waffles, a tasty traditional Belgian treat served with a variety of toppings and sauces. Just think chocolate sauce, wild raspberry preserve, candied pecans, fruit and gelato. Phone: 516-877-2177 | Address: 850 Franklin Ave Click to taste

Revel’s weekend brunch includes a range of creative favorites. There’s peanut butter and jelly stuffed French toast, ricotta gnocchi, carne asada street tacos and truffle lobster mac and cheese. The dessert is also in a league of its own. Try the cheesecake crème brulee or dark chocolate peanut butter mousse and it will be hard to look at a cookie in the same light again.
