Best Sunday Brunch

(tie) READERS, UPSTATE | Hotel du Pont
11 W. Market St., Wilmington, 594-3154
and READERS UPSTATE | Michael’s
1000 Churchmans Road, Newark, 368-4230

2009 Highway One, Dewey Beach, 227-4600

CRITICS, UPSTATE | Deerfield Golf & Tennis Club
507 Thompson Station Road, Newark, 368-6640
October through Mother’s Day, Deerfield lays out an amazing spread: 111 linear feet of
buffet tables with eggs, waffles, carved meats, fresh fruits, pastries—and a raw bar packed with smoked fish, salmon, mussels and clams. (We’ve been searching for a brunch like this since the Columbus Inn closed.) The sunny room and fabulous view of the golf course are unparalleled.

CRITICS, DOWNSTATE | Victoria’s Restaurant
2 Olive Ave., Rehoboth Beach, 227-0615
Sunday brunch at Victoria’s Restaurant is simply a Delaware institution. Cozy up to one of the hightops beneath the black trellises and indulge on oysters, smoked seafood or Belgian waffles with Vermont maple syrup and applewood bacon. Piano standards by local fave Jeff Irwin set the mood, as do ample mimosas, bloody Marys and screwdrivers.
