A Memphis Must: Fantastic Brunch Feast At The Peabody Hotel
A Memphis Must: Fantastic Brunch Feast At The Peabody Hotel
"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.

This year is our 20th anniversary. We have several things planned throughout the year including food and travel. We have never had a Peabody Brunch and we love to experience the best brunch in Memphis.

I'd love to try the Easter brunch at the Peabody because I'm currently super pregnant and it'd be fun to have a big decadent brunch outing with my husband before we dive into this crazy new life. Plus that dessert buffet sounds beyond amazing! Thanks for the giveaway as well as the consistently awesome blog.

I'd love to win as we have no family in town, and the family that we normally celebrate Easter with has to be out of town for a wedding this weekend. And we still haven't made any plans as to what we will eat.

This weekend is my one year anniversary with my boyfriend - we have been a long distance relationship since I moved to Memphis 3 months after we started dating. Luckily, with great planning (both with schedules and finances) I have been able to visit him in Wisconsin one weekend per month, and he has been able to come to Memphis once per month. He is here in Memphis for this weekend for our anniversary. I have been eyeing this brunch but with our travel costs it is expensive, and it would be a wonderful gift if we would win this brunch! As well, as a wonderful way to celebrate Easter!

Because me and the hubby could use a brunch out. Two little girls at home and another one on the way!

The Peabody is iconic Memphis and it seems this brunch is iconic deliciousness. Please pick me!

My husband and I went to my senior prom at The Peabody (a few years pre-restoration.) We are about to celebrate our 42nd wedding anniversary in May, but he is likely to be having spine surgery then, so would love to go to the brunch in April.

I’d love to go to this brunch because I just finished up two years of serving my country with AmeriCorps VISTA and it will be close to my first wedding anniversary with my partner!

Being new to Memphis, we have enjoyed the charm of the Peabody lobby and fountain area many times. Would love to have brunch there!

Hi! First and foremost my boyfriend and I LOVE this blog. Our goal has been to eat at every single brunch location on the blog and although we still have a long way to go we have enjoyed every minute of it! Sunday brunch is our favorite thing to do to spend time together as we prepare for the upcoming week and what better place to get to experience for the first time on Easter Sunday than at the Peabody! Hopefully we can start a new tradition. Please pick us!

I’ve always wanted to try the Brunch at the Peabody because it sounds very delicious! I have only lived in the area a few years and have always wanted to try it but the price is a bit steep! Happy Easter!

Ooo this sounds amazing! I would love to go to the Easter brunch because I've never been to a fancy brunch before.

I would love to attend the Peabody Easter brunch! This will be the last Easter I spend in Memphis and I would like to soak up all the great Memphis experiences I can before moving back home in August. I am an SCO student and my fiancé will be coming in town, so it would make our weekend extra special! I actually discovered the Peabody has amazing desserts just last week. I would love to experience all they have to offer at this brunch as well :).

My boyfriend and I started our relationship in two different cities, Memphis and Chicago. This went on for several years. We’re finally together in one city and this is our first Easter together. I can’t think of a better way to spend it than at the amazing Peabody! I would love to surprise him with this!

Thanks for the opportunity!
This is our first year without family to visit. The Peabody would be a fun extravagant exclamation mark.

I would love to be able to enjoy a great meal on Easter! After moving down to Memphis almost 7 years ago I have not been able to join my extended family back in Iowa for Easter Service and Lunch. We always enjoyed some great Easter food together and hung out playing card and board games. I have never eaten at the Peabody and this looks absolutely wonderful!

I’m committed to trying every restaurant downtown and this would be amazing! Plus, a great reason to call a new friend to come and join me

Holly!!!! I want this magical experience. I'm a foodie #1, I love to experience the downright unusual but epic things that Memphis has to offer, and I ultimately love the Peabody and just the magical ambiance of that place. Oh and I need a reason to wear this dress that would be a nice fancy brunch at the Peabody type dress.

I'm unable to go home to Cincinnati for the holiday so this would be a lovely treat.

Well I have never been to The Peabody Hotel before so it would be a splendid experience if I were granted the opportunity of going. I’m a big foodie, that came along way from Southern California to Memphis TN and I feel as if you can’t claim to be a foodie if you have never eaten at The Peabody Hotel. I would love to surprise my hubby by taking him with me. He’s a hard city employee and I would love to show him how much I love him as well as the city of Memphis. Well with that being said I hope I win because I’m getting hungry!

Yay! Hoping to win and take my daughter for something special to do on Easter, now that she's too old for Egg Hunts. Thanks!

It would be amazing to take my husband for brunch at the Peabody. We rarely get time alone and what better way to ensure we get some time together than a giant 32 foot dessert buffet?!?

My husband and I were married at The Peabody 14 years ago, and our daughter would just LOVE to see where it all began! I feel we would all enjoy a celebratory brunch and the duck walk .

I just moved to Memphis and have never been to the Peabody! This would be the perfect magical afternoon to experience it. Also I think there's nothing better in life than a buffet.

As residents of East Memphis for many years, my husband and I are now rediscovering all that downtown has to offer!
Easter brunch at the Peabody would be a great way to kick off a fun Sunday downtown, and we might bring some other suburbanites along for the ride, to show them Downtown Memphis is really a fun place to be!

This will be my first Easter in Memphis and away from my family. I would love to take my boyfriend to the Peabody for brunch so that we can have a great first Easter in Memphis together!

I'd like to win these tickets and give them to my in-laws as a nice surprise. They've had a super busy first quarter of the year with their personal and professional lives and haven't done anything for themselves - and won't unless someone does it for them.

I really want and need to win this. I have two main reasons why. 1. I have never won a drawing of any type and I think it is time to change that. Lol. Second this would be a perfect birthday surprise for my husband whos birthday is on April 2nd. I think this would be perfect for him simply because the Man can EAT!! Thanks for the opportunity!!!
PS......... PICK ME !!!!!!!

I would love to be able to share a beautiful birthday/anniversary brunch date with my husband. Having moved from LA to Memphis to be closer to my husband's family, I have always wanted to go to the Peabody. I've heard amazing things about it but have never been able to go.

I would love to go! I am going to be away from my family for easter so this would be a nice treat since I cannot be with my family.

I just moved to Memphis in August 2017, and am still whittling away at my bucket list of things to do in my first year. I have been to the Peabody rooftop party, but I haven't experienced a Peabody brunch! This would be a cool experience for me because I'm an SCO student and would never choose to spend this much money on myself.

April will be the last month my classmates and I spend in Memphis before moving away after working together for the past 4 years towards our doctorate degrees. We have become each others family away from home throughout these years and it would be so special to be able to share a fabulous Easter brunch on one of our last weekends together!

My significant others favorite thing to do in the afternoon during the summer when I’m at work is to come to the Peabody and watch the ducks! However, he’s never been to actually EAT at the Peabody! Not even a pastry! I’ve offered to treat him several times; however he never accepts. This week has been especially rough for him, since his grandmother passed away on our anniversary, and his team had immediate away games he’s just been running around nonstop and we haven’t had any time to celebrate. I would love to be able to surprise him after a week of traveling to such a nice treat!

I would love to take my husband and 2 daughters to the brunch. We love the Peabody and this would be a nice relaxing treat after having moved and living out of boxes for a week.
