Default Sunday brunch

Are there any Sunday brunches left in the area? Lakeside Grille is menu only at this point. The Junction has one coming in October. Surprisingly nothing at the Lake Estate.

The Mount has one, has anyone done it?

Looking for one for this Sunday for my wife's birthday.

I believe the Lakeside Grille still offers somewhat of a brunch just not as big as before. I know they still offer their omelette station and other assorted pastries but I believe other main offerings are menu ordered. See menu below...

I believe Hermit Woods Winery offers a Sunday Brunch or at least they did. I would call to confirm...

Gilmanton Winery offers Sunday Brunch. I have been there for dinner and it was excellent!! It's a pretty cool place. I have never been for brunch however...

Question

Harts used to have one, but I haven't been there in a few years so I'm not sure they still do it?

If you can catch one of the Masonic Temples in either Alton or Wolfeboro on the right Sunday, they serve up one heck of a brunch / breakfast. The food is good, plentiful, and definitely priced right!

Problem is your wife may not be impressed by the ambiance!

Great to hear! This place is one of my "hidden gems" for dinner! A very "local" out of the way establishment...

I don't think there are any buffet brunches left. You may have to settle for ala carte.

The trend is clear: Sunday brunch and buffets in general are not as common as they once were.

For example, buffets were once common in Las Vegas strip casinos, but not any more.

Covid killed them, along with inflation and changing dining preferences.
