The Best Hungover Brunch Spots in Town

Highland Bakery.
by Sonia Chopra

Hangovers are the worst. They really are, and once one has invaded your body and taken away any shred of productivity that may have been left after a night of hard drinking, there's only one way (well, okay, here are a few more) to get rid of it— brunch. The Hungover Brunch is one of the oldest traditions in this fine country, and Eater is here to point the way to some of the best Atlanta spots for the meal. Remember that the booze doesn't start flowing until 12:30 p.m. on Sundays, so brunch cocktails may be out of the question, but the food at these thirteen hangover-eradicating restaurants will get you back into tip-top shape sooner than a frat boy can down a Jager Bomb.

A brunch map couldn't exist without Ria's Bluebird. Hector Santiago of Pura Vida says, "I always have the same thing: a short stack, some fried eggs over easy, some bacon, and I’m good to go. They have good coffee, too— I have a couple macchiatos and I'm set."

Holeman & Finch Public House

Holeman & Finch is pretty damn good at everything they do. Their morning menu is no different, but the secret is that the otherwise super-limited 10 p.m. burger is sold all through Sunday brunch.

West Egg Cafe

West Egg's doesn't take reservations, which means that if you show up on a weekend, the wait is usually at least 45 minutes. The food and atmosphere are worth it, though, so grab a cocktail while you wait (if it's after 12:30, that is).

Sun in My Belly

Copy Link

The key to brunch at Sun in My Belly is to get any kind of egg and cheese dish. Try it scrambled with herbed boursin or omelet-style with pimento. There's also a menu item called the Hangover, so, you know, how can you go wrong?

Cinébistro at Town Brookhaven

The brunch at CineBistro is good, but what's even better is that it's served, along with cocktails, in a cool, dark movie theatre. Is there a hangover cure that can trump that?

The breakfast sandwiches, egg dishes, and peanut butter french toast at Highland Bakery are great, but the real hangover cure is the jalapeno cheddar focaccia. Add a side of it to any meal and you'll be good to go.
