From Deli Counter to Brunch Destination
Born as Frances' Deli in 1938, The Brunchery has been Chicago's morning ritual for nearly 90 years.
Same Corner. Nearly 90 Years Running.
We started as Frances' Deli in 1938. Same corner, same warmth — just a lot more French toast now.

The Brunchery has been feeding Lincoln Park since 1938 — back when it was still a deli. A lot has changed. The loyalty hasn't.
What our guests are saying
I really enjoyed the vibe at The Brunchery. The atmosphere was great and the music was jamming, which made the brunch experience even better. The food was on point and the service was top-notch. Our server, Ivonne, was phenomenal, very attentive and friendly throughout the entire visit. She really helped make the experience enjoyable. I would definitely go back again!

I’ve been dying to come here for the past 2 years and I’m so happy I finally got to experience “The Brunchery.” Beautiful cozy brunch spot perfect for a brunch date with your significant other or friends! The mimosa flights were good. Next time, I’ll try the margarita flights! The bacon flight was definitely interesting and very tasty if you like trying new things. The French toast flight was absolutely delicious!!! The corned beef hash skillet was also very tasty. Definitely will be returning!!

I love this place so much! Lauren K was our server and it was our first time there. She was soo personable and patient, she explained the menu in detail and really took the time to talk about the dishes & drinks. I really liked their espresso martinis. I drink these often at many restaurants throughout the city and I can confidently say their espresso martini is in my top 3. I randomly stopped by after running the 5k turkey trot but will definitely be adding this one to my list of recommendation

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. The food is good, and beautifully presented. I didn't have to wait, but I made it a point to arrive right at opening time on a weekend morning. There are monthly specials, and portions are big.
