Sometimes a person needs infinity mimosas: Houston's best bottomless brunches

OK, I should come clean; my motivations behind this particular story are selfish. I was making dressy plans for Sunday brunch when I got to thinking how great it would be to have a comprehensive list of bruncheries (it's a word, now) that offer bottomless bevs. So without further ado, the best bottomless brunches H-town has to offer:

Michelangelo's — This little Italian restaurant at 307 Westheimer has existed in the same location for 40 years. The only thing better than the live tree growing through the middle of the converted house are the bottomless mimosas at Italian-style Sunday brunch.

Farrago's — Midtown eatery Farrago's, at 318 Gray St., serves bottomless brunch Saturday AND Sunday for $10. With a single costing $5, it'd be irresponsible not to indulge.

Berryhill — Multiple locations make for easy access, but we recommend the Montrose location on the corner of Westheimer and Hawthorne for optimum recovery amongst mimosas, black bean nachos, feather boas and a patio DJ.

t'afia — Hit it up Saturday for the outdoor market chef Monica Pope runs along with the Breakfast Klub and browse with mimosa in hand, or dabble in her funky ratafias — Texas wine and vodka infused with seasonal fruit.

Hearsay — The ambiance may be high-end but for Sunday mornings we opt for Hearsay's Mac and Four cheese with our bottomless bellinis. Other options are mimosas and fleur de lis and oh, yeah, the rest of the menu.

Tiny Boxwood's — Less a spot for weekend recovery than face time, Tiny Boxwoods, tucked away in Thompson & Hanson nursery, is the primo patio spot to get your money's worth among the greenery.

Cyclone Anaya's — The trendiest of Tex-Mex offers bottomless mimosas and poinsettias and a mean migas con fajita. Locations are in Midtown at 309 Gray St., 1710 Durham, CityCentre and at the corner of Woodway and Augusta.

Bottom's up!

Editor's note: CultureMap recently debuted a feature that highlights some of the best, most interesting or unusual things in Houston in list form. You'll find everything from Cool Hotel Pools to Fab Farmers Markets on these curated CultureLists, which are featured in the far right column of every CultureMap.com page.

The best bottomless brunches will become a CultureList soon. But first, you have a chance to tell us if we missed any that you think deserve to be included. Make the case for your favorite bottomless brunch by leaving a comment.

Mexican Sugar is coming to Regent Square in December.

A Dallas-based Mexican restaurant is coming to Houston. Mexican Sugar will open its first Houston location in Montrose this December.

Located next to Georgia James in the Regent Square mixed-use development, Mexican Sugar will occupy a two-story, 13,000-square-foot building. All that room offers seating for 375 as well as two private dining rooms with full audio-visual capabilities. Both the upstairs and downstairs patios will have a view of nearby Buffalo Bayou Park.

Its part of FB Society, the Dallas-based hospitality group behind Whiskey Cake, Sixty Vines, and Haywire, the Texas-inspired comfort food restaurant that opened its first Houston-area location earlier this year. Mexican Sugar has three locations in the Dallas area: Plano, Las Colinas, and Uptown Dallas.

In a release, Mexican Sugar touts its use of seasonal ingredients. It also makes its tortillas by hand. Menu highlights include skirt steak, lobster fundido, and a bone-in pork chop. At brunch, look for options such as cajeta French toast, Benedictos Rancheros, and vanilla-cinnamon pancakes.

Agave fans will find plenty of choices courtesy of more the 150 tequilas and mezcals. They’re available in individual pours as well as in flights that allow customers to compare the flavors of the different spirits.

“Our goal is to create a dining experience that blends bold Mexican flavors with our signature style of hospitality that stays two steps ahead,” Justin Beam, Mexican Sugar’s director of operations, said in a statement. “We’re excited to offer Houstonians an immersive Mexican experience in a fresh, light, and approachable way.”
