Whether you’re celebrating something, catching up with friends, or just need a reason to put on a real outfit on a Sunday — these are the Westchester brunch spots that deliver.
Westchester has a lot of restaurants that serve brunch. That’s not the same as having a lot of great brunch spots. We’ve eaten our way through the county — bottomless mimosas, prix fixe tasting menus, French toast that costs more than it probably should — and narrowed it down to 15 places that are genuinely worth your time.
We organized these by vibe instead of town, because nobody picks a brunch spot by ZIP code. You pick based on what kind of morning you want to have.
When you want the full experience
These are the spots you save for birthdays, promotions, or the kind of catch-up that deserves cloth napkins.
X2O Xaviars on the Hudson — Yonkers
Three-course prix fixe brunch with unlimited prosecco and cocktails, $48 per person. The dining room sits on a pier over the Hudson with views of the Palisades, and the food matches the setting. This is where you go when someone in the group has news.
Details: Sunday 11:30 AM–2:30 PM. Reservations recommended — call (914) 965-1111. Valet parking, $10.
Moderne Barn — Armonk
A converted barn with high ceilings and enough natural light to make everyone look good in photos. Westchester Magazine named it Best Celebration Restaurant for 2025, and the outdoor seating in warmer months is hard to beat.
Details: Saturday and Sunday 11 AM–3 PM. Reservations at (914) 730-0001.
Crabtree’s Kittle House — Chappaqua
A Westchester institution in a historic inn with one of the best wine collections in the state. The vibe is old-money Westchester in the best possible way — relaxed but polished. Sunday brunch only, so plan ahead.
Details: Sunday 11:30 AM–2:30 PM. Book on Resy.
Bedford Post Inn — Bedford
The drive up to Bedford is half the experience. The inn sits on a quiet country road, and brunch here feels like you left Westchester for the English countryside. The food is elevated without being fussy. One of those places where you linger for two hours and don’t feel bad about it.
Details: Brunch 10:30 AM–3 PM. Reservations on Resy or call (914) 234-7800.
River views and outdoor terraces
When the weather cooperates, these spots make a strong case for staying in Westchester instead of going into the city.
Half Moon — Dobbs Ferry
Floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the Hudson. The brunch package includes a first course, a second course, and complimentary bubbles. The raw bar is worth exploring if your table is into seafood. Come early enough on a Sunday and you’ll catch good light off the water.
Details: Saturday and Sunday from 11 AM. Reservations on OpenTable or call (914) 693-4130.
Red Hat on the River — Irvington
One of the most photographed views in Westchester — you can see the river, the Cuomo Bridge, and on a clear day, the city skyline to the south. The terrace is the move in warm weather. French and Italian influences on the menu.
Details: Saturday 11:30 AM–2 PM, Sunday 11:30 AM–2:15 PM. Call (914) 568-3233.
3 Westerly Bar & Grill — Ossining
This one’s a sleeper. It’s a modern American restaurant inside a freestanding lighthouse on the Ossining waterfront, right next to the Metro-North station. Multiple outdoor areas, all with Hudson views. The fact that it’s train-accessible is a real plus if your group is coming from different towns.
Details: Saturday and Sunday 12–4 PM. Reservations on OpenTable or call (914) 762-1333.
Bottomless brunch energy
For the mornings where you want unlimited drinks and you’re not driving home first.
Greca Mediterranean Kitchen — White Plains
A three-level Greek-Mediterranean restaurant on Mamaroneck Ave with unlimited Bellinis, mimosas, and Bloody Marys at brunch. The tsoureki French toast (made with Greek brioche and candied walnuts) is a standout. The interior is striking — genuinely photogenic without trying too hard. Free valet parking at the Opus Hotel across the street.
Details: Weekends, hours vary. Reservations recommended.
Fortina — Armonk
Breakfast pizzas, Nutella French toast, and bottomless mimosas. The wood-fired oven is the centerpiece, and the energy in the room is buzzy without being overwhelming. The Rye Brook location runs the same brunch if that’s closer.
Details: Saturday and Sunday from 11 AM. Book on OpenTable.
Charming and low-key
Not every brunch needs to be a production. Sometimes you want a quiet table, good food, and a neighborhood that’s nice to walk around afterward.
Saint George Bistro — Hastings-on-Hudson
A small French bistro in one of Westchester’s most charming river towns. It feels genuinely European — unhurried, unfussy, and the kind of place where you stay longer than you planned. Classic French brunch fare done well.
Details: Saturday and Sunday 11 AM–3 PM. Reservations on Resy or call (914) 478-1671.
The Cookery — Dobbs Ferry
Chef-driven, ingredient-focused cooking with a menu that changes daily. Sunday brunch only. The housemade pastas are the draw, and the desserts are hard to say no to. It’s an intimate neighborhood restaurant, not a scene — which is exactly why people love it. Michelin-recognized.
Details: Sunday 11:30 AM–3 PM. Book on OpenTable.
Nonna Carola — Mamaroneck
Elevated Sicilian food in a white-tablecloth setting that somehow still feels relaxed. The back-deck patio is tucked away from Mamaroneck Avenue — quiet, almost hidden. Burrata ravioli, brick-oven pizza, and the kind of truffle pasta you think about later.
Details: Open daily from 12 PM, brunch service weekends. Reservations at (914) 899-3130.
Worth the drive north
These are the “make a day of it” spots — further out, but the trip is part of the experience.
Purdy’s Farmer & the Fish — North Salem
An 18th-century farmhouse next to its own four-acre working farm. The food is genuinely farm-to-table — not the marketing version, the actual version. Michelin-recognized. The drive up through North Salem’s horse country is beautiful, and there’s a farm shop on-site for provisions. Bring a cooler.
Details: Weekend brunch available — call to confirm hours at (914) 617-8380. Reservations on OpenTable.
The group-friendly picks
Ruby’s Oyster Bar & Bistro — Rye
Seafood-forward brunch on Purchase Street in downtown Rye. The lobster frittata and Eggs Benedict lineup are both strong. After brunch, the whole group can walk the street — Rye’s downtown is one of the best in Westchester for shopping and wandering.
Details: Saturday and Sunday 11 AM–3:30 PM. Reservations on OpenTable or call (914) 921-4166.
Freebird Kitchen & Bar — White Plains
Southern comfort food — Nashville hot chicken, fried green tomatoes, pimento cheese — with a rooftop bar that has solid views. The energy is fun and a little loud, which works when you’re with a group. Not the place for a quiet catch-up. Definitely the place for a birthday with ten people.
Details: Saturday and Sunday from 11 AM. Book on OpenTable.
A few more worth knowing about
- The Beehive (Armonk) — Voted Best Breakfast in Westchester 2025 by Daily Voice. Elevated diner with Greek touches. The banana Nutella French toast has a following.
- Basso by PXK — No-menu Sunday brunch for $42. An endless parade of pasta, meat, fish, and risotto, all prepared tableside. You don’t order. You just eat.
- Jack’s — 90-minute bottomless brunch: an entree plus unlimited mimosas, Bellinis, Bloody Marys, or lager for $42. Weekends 11:30 AM–3 PM.
Before you go
A few things we’ve learned from doing this a lot:
- Reservations are non-negotiable at most of these spots, especially on Sundays. Book at least a few days out. For X2O, Moderne Barn, and Bedford Post Inn, book a week out or more.
- If you’re doing bottomless brunch, designate a driver or plan for a car home. Some of the best spots (Greca, Fortina) have free or cheap parking but you probably shouldn’t be using it.
- Go early. 11 AM gets you better light, shorter waits, and more relaxed service than 1 PM.
- The river towns (Dobbs Ferry, Irvington, Hastings, Ossining) cluster well. If one spot is full, you have options within a 10-minute drive.
