Some restaurants have Easter brunches worth planning a whole spring getaway around. Celebrating the holiday with a tasteful, well-prepared meal will be a lovely part of the day regardless of where you’ll be. Many will be home, but others will be out of town to see family or otherwise while enjoying their vacation time.
As many attend church on Easter Sunday, dining afterward on a delicious brunch can feel like a part of the day’s celebration. Churchgoers will likely be dressed in their Sunday best – which is also perfect for brunch. These dining destinations will likely be hosting Easter brunches or have already shared plans for the holiday. All of those listed are worth traveling for or checking out if you’ll already be in town for Easter Sunday, celebrated on Sunday, April 20 this year.
Salamander Resort – Middleburg, Virginia
The Salamander Resort in Middleburg, Virginia is a fantastic Easter getaway for anyone in the greater Washington, D.C. area.

The expansive buffet included breakfast pastries, chilled seafood, an omelet station, a dessert display, and more.
