Easter brunch doesn’t always come together weeks in advance, and in Austin, it doesn’t have to. Many of the city’s best spots still leave room for a last-minute plan, whether that means a late reservation, a walk-in table or a slower-paced holiday menu that runs all weekend.

From longtime favorites to hotel restaurants that specialize in holiday service, there are still plenty of ways to put together an intentional and special Easter brunch. If you’re still deciding where to go, these Austin favorites are the perfect place to start.
