Easter provides an opportunity for Christians all over the world to reflect on the miracle of Christ’s resurrection and the profound sacrifice he made for humanity.
While we’re not sure how eating an elaborate brunch became so closely associated with the holiday, Houston restaurants have embraced the trend wholeheartedly, with epic feasts in a range of cuisines and price points. Thankfully, Houstonians of all faiths — or no faith at all — can feast without committing to any particular religious viewpoint.
Since the holiday doesn’t take place until Sunday, April 5, CultureMap will update this list periodically as more restaurants share their plans with us. Given the holiday’s popularity, reservations are strongly recommended.
