The Jefferson

The Sunday Champagne brunch at The Jefferson is a Richmond tradition that draws loyal diners from miles around. Served in the Rotunda lobby amongst marble columns and around a mezzanine, its mood is charmingly old-fashioned — complete with a trio of musicians playing in the background as you make your way through the vast buffet. Because the chef uses seasonal, regional ingredients, new dishes are ensured on a regular basis. Among standards such as made-to-order omelets and oysters on the half shell, you will find specialties like The Jefferson's Signature Spoonbread and housemade charcuterie. If you still have room after helpings of poached shrimp and glazed ham, top it all off with a treat from the sundae station, which includes stuffed crêpes, waffle cones and cherries jubilee.
