Pre-Valentine's Date Over
Brunch
We're a week away from Valentine's Day, but that doesn't mean it's too early to treat yourself or your significant other to brunch. Des Moines has a number of brunch spots for a pre-Valentine's Day date this weekend, and you won't have to deal with crowds that are sure to pack some of the city's most popular restaurants next week. Here are a few:
- Bubba—Southern Comforts: Shrimp and grits, fried green tomato Benedict, chicken-fried steak and eggs—many of the weekend brunch offerings here swing Southern.
- Centro: From the prosciutto and eggs with country Italian toast to the breakfast pizza, brunch is elevated by executive chef George Formaro’s breads.
- Eatery A: With choices such as lemon-ricotta pancakes with blueberry compote and wild crab eggs Benedict with charred avocado and harissa aioli, Eatery A's brunch dishes arrive robust yet beautifully detailed.
As always, it's advisable to call ahead and make reservations.
