When I moved to Tucson, I really didn't think that there were places to "brunch." Now, brunching can be a dressy after church type of function on a Sunday, or or a I stayed out all night on Saturday relaxed look with a hangover:) But, brunches to me are a necessity. It's just nice to have somewhere to start your week with friends in a more late in the day relaxed way. New Yorkers do brunch and when I went to LA a couple of months ago I saw that people in LA enjoy brunching on Saturday and Sunday.
Places to brunch in Tucson:
Acacia @ St. Philips
Jazz Brunch 10-2 on Sundays
Blue Willow
More of a laid back ambiance, but still a close fit to a brunch and they serve Mimosa's~an essential for brunch of course:)
Arizona Inn
I have never been to this location, but it looks fabulous. You do have to call to make reservations and it looks like this would be the place to wear your nice summer dress. This probably would be a place where people would say is for "special occasions". I love and excuse to dress up, so I think this is for any special Sunday:)
Cup Cafe at the Congress Hotel
I love this location! The entire building is full of surprises and the food is AMAZING! It feels like a creative getaway in Tucson. I go here with my husband or alone with a magazine or a book. This is very casual and in the downtown area.
Hacienda del Sol Grill
Since we are in the southwest, it just seem right to go to a brunch featuring Mexican food. Check out this resort for Sunday Brunch that is rated one of the top resorts by Zagat Survey! This is on my lists of to do's for venturing out in Tucson:)
