Mouthwatering options for the best meal of the day, whether you prefer savory or sweet Story and photos by Hannah Hoffmeister

runch: It’s without a doubt the most important meal of any weekend. Food is an important factor, yes, but any brunch worth writing home about also has an inviting atmosphere, the type of place that makes you stay for another cup of coffee. These four restaurants are my go-to brunch spots — what are yours? Send me an email; I’m always open to trying a new place!
If you’re in need of a hearty meal:

Brunch Cafe, located next to the Fox River, offers both indoor and outdoor seating right in the heart of downtown St. Charles. The food is even more noteworthy than the location, though — and it’s abundant. Here you’ll find towering skillets, sugary pancakes and an extensive list of lunch options, too. There are also Brunch Cafe locations in Addison, Fox River Grove, Huntley, Kildeer, McHenry, Niles and Roselle.
EDITOR’S CHOICE: Breakfast sliders: These three miniature sandwiches come with scrambled eggs, turkey sausage and American cheese. Served with breakfast potatoes, you can’t go wrong with an order of these. And they heat up well for lunch!
Voted best breakfast in Kendall County by readers in 2020, Southern Belle’s is a delicious, relaxed place to grab any style of brunch, whether you’re feeling light or filling. “Innovative southern comfort food” is how the restaurant’s Facebook page describes the food — and judging by the taste of their biscuits, that’s a spoton description. Southern Belle’s has several locations throughout northern Illinois, including in Plainfield and Carpentersville.
