"I thought I knew about brunch...until I did the Peabody brunch."

This is a quote from a friend after she and I experienced the absolutely ridiculous brunch buffet at The Peabody Hotel.

Imagine every kind of breakfast, brunch, and lunch food ever - meats, cheese, waffles, seafood, fresh-baked breads, pasta, carving station, salads - all spread out on multiple buffets. And don't get me started on the desserts. They're as delicious as they are beautiful. And there's a whole section for them.

Brunch at The Peabody is everything you've ever thought about brunch, taken to the next level. They use the word "lavish" and I really can't argue.

Usually, the brunch is set up in Capriccio Grill. You'll be seated, order your beverages (unlimited French Press coffee and mimosas are included in the price), and then make your way to the breakfast section within the restaurant, and then the humongous table set up in the hallway outside to all the other, salads, pastas, seafood, meats, vegetables. The desserts (you must save room!) are a menagerie of delicious, delicate pastries. It's like the Nutcracker's land of sweets come to life. 

For Easter and other holidays, the Peabody sets up the brunch on Mezzanine overlooking the Lobby. They also add holiday favorites and extra desserts and pastries in addition to the usual smorgasbord.
