The lunch menu’s variety of sandwiches won’t disappoint.

The Annie’s new Sunday brunch is already one of the best in Houston. Expect live music, an array of egg-centric dishes and strong cocktails. You can also order the restaurant’s classics and sandwiches from its regular lunch menu.
Don’t miss the lobster open-face omelette for something different. Though, Annie’s classic French toast is awful hard to beat.

Oysters and cold bars are underrated when it comes to brunch foods but Liberty Kitchen’s menu, which revolves around fresh seafood, shows that seafood should be more commonplace midmorning too.
Perfect for a group outing, Liberty’s Cold Bar includes shareable items, including Liberty Tower (which comes with half a dozen mixed oysters, five jumbo cocktail shrimp and avocado crab cocktail), the Liberty Stacked Tower (which is basically the Liberty Tower but doubled and with one pound of poached lobster), and the Cured Salmon & Caviar Board.
There is also gumbo and more typical breakfast foods, including egg & prosciutto Benedict, red velvet waffles & fried chicken strips, and the honey butter French toast.
The brunch menu is available at Liberty Kitchen & Oysterette in River Oaks and Liberty Kitchen at The Treehouse in Memorial, both of which open at 10 am on Saturdays and Sundays.

Suffice to say that any top Houston brunch list wouldn’t be complete without a Hugo’s mention. Helmed by James Beard Award-winning Chef, Hugo Ortega, Hugo’s serves a delicious spread of authentic Mexican cuisine. From 11 am – 3 pm on Saturdays and Sundays, their brunch selections include a host of robustly flavorful options not limited to Huevos Rancheros, Ceviche, and Chile Relleno de Desayuno. Our personal favorite is the Huarche de Puerco, a sizeable masa cake filled with slow-cooked pork, queso fresco, tomatillo salsa, rajas, crema, topped with a fried egg. It wouldn’t tequil-ya to compliment your meal with a margarita.

Snag a bottle of bubbly or a Mimosa to pair with Jalapeño Buttermilk Fried Chicken and Waffles, Cheesy Grits and bacon in a spicy fennel broth, Red Velvet Pancakes, and an Eggs Benedict riff that takes crispy chicken, throws it on some honey-coated biscuits, adds poached eggs, and finishes the whole experience with a black pepper cream gravy blanket.
