Doctor up your mimosas from a bar of syrups and juices, then graze on Levantine plates like a halloumi omelet with summer squash or shakshuka at this Dupont Circle dining room. The $48 pricetag includes three courses and bottomless drinks, and brunch starts at 10 AM.

79 Potomac Ave., SE
You’ll find bottomless brunch cocktails—Aperol spritzes, grapefruit mimosas, bellinis—for $28 at the Navy Yard location of this pizza shop. Carbonara-style risotto, banana bread with Nutella buttercream, and baked eggs with spinach and goat cheese are among the daytime options.

Belga Cafe
514 Eighth St., SE
This Belgian spot on the Hill is extending its Restaurant Week offerings into Labor Day. The $25 two-course brunch—which includes a coffee, lemonade, or glass of sparkling wine with purple basil—features a few waffles (cornbread with beer-braised pork; strawberry with meringue), plus a truffled egg sandwich and avocado toast. Dessert is a yogurt panna cotta with granola.

116 Rhode Island Ave., NW
Bloomingdale’s neighborhood tavern serves one of the best hangover cures—a messy cheeseburger topped with caramelized onions, pork belly, and a fried egg—in town. You’ll also find homemade cinnamon rolls, a hot-honey chicken benedict, and—for $23—bottomless bloodies, mimosas, and spritzes.
