Best Brunch – Montrose: Bludorn

When one of the city’s buzziest restaurants starts offering brunch, you visit it at brunch. Such is the case with chef Aaron Bludorn’s namesake restaurant, a stunner that has taken Houston by storm since opening at summer’s end in 2020. Consider a Sunday brunch reservation and you can dive into things like “oysters everyway” (raw, fried, roasted and topped with all the goodies); egg Benedicts accompanied by crab cakes, smoked salmon, and spinach and artichoke Béarnaise; and decadent treats from shareable cinnamon buns to a brioche doughnut with foie gras and Bing cherry. Pretty much everything is excellent here, including the world-class service.
