The following is a list of restaurants in the Orlando area that are open for Sunday Brunch - some are open on Saturdays as well. These restaurants are stand-alone dining venues that are not contained within a hotel (that's another list). A couple have more than one location in the Orlando area and only Brio is part of a national chain of restaurants.

My list currently only contains 7 restaurants, but I'm always looking for more to add - log on to the Orlando Forum to share your experiences of the following or suggest a favorite that isn't listed here.

    Park Plaza Gardens
    319 Park Avenue South, Winter Park
    407-645-2475
    The menu is continually updated to include new chef specialties. In addition to soups, sandwiches, burgers and salads, the menu also sports a few more exotic brunch selections such as Prince Edward Island Mussels and Smoked Salmon. Sunday brunch is served from 11am-3 pm. Brunch is available on Easter, Mother's Day and Father's Day.

    The Bistro on Park Avenue
    348 Park Avenue North, Winter Park
    407-539-6520
    Though open Tuesday through Saturday for Breakfast from 8 am till 11 am, The Bistro on Park Avenue also offers a separate Sunday Brunch menu. For the early riser, The Bistro's Sunday brunch gets started at 8am and continues until 3 pm serving a nice selection of breakfast and lunch favorites. Sunday brunch is available on Easter, Mother's Day and Father's Day.

    Midnight Blue
    900 E. Washington Street, Orlando
    407-999-9012
    One of the largest brunch menus that I have come across, Midnight Blue in Downtown Orlando seems to have an outstanding selection of breakfast selections - some traditional and some intriguing! Depending on how hungry you are, start with the basic eggs or pancakes and add some of their sides to create your own personalized brunch. Brunch is offered Saturday and Sunday from 11am - 3 pm.

    HUE, A Restaurant
    629 E. Central Blvd., Orlando
    407-849-1800
    Flat breads, salads and burgers are served Sunday mornings from 11 am till 4 pm along with some of Hue's brunch specialties including their signature HUE stuffed toast. HUE, located in the Downtown area of Thornton Park though beautifully decorated inside, is a wonderful place to enjoy outdoor dining while watching life in Thornton Park pass you by. On the third Sunday of each month, be sure to check out their famous Disco Brunch. Enjoy Groovy drink specials while a DJ spins tunes from the 80's.

In addition to a wonderful buffet brunch complete with an omelet station, specialty cheeses and meats, Harmoni Market has live music and an outdoor market where you can pick up some fresh baked bread or a bouquet of cheery flowers.
