Sunday brunches are the best shows.. and still a standard fare for many countries around the world..

BI Mauna Kea was excellent Sunday Brunch.. Banff Springs put on one of the nicest in Western Canada imo

However, we recently attended an engagement brunch at a small restaurant (for clarification it was a group of tables in a set aside area, but the food was the standard sunday brunch menu, along with other guests) and it was lovely! Salad and seafood bars, fresh cook to order brick oven pizza, 8 different entrees prepared by a chef as you waited (everything from gnocci to prime rib), yummy puddings, and free flowing champagne, bucks fizz and kir royals They did the full range of breakfast items as well. Really lovely food, all very fresh, very clean, I guess the patrons (well mannered) helped too. I am tempted to go again!
The stations are a nice option to get hot, fresh and custom order.. Done right, the brunches can be a good fare..

We like the Empire Brunch at Hotel MacDonald in Edmonton.. We attend this brunch whenever we are in YEG..
