By Town

Bridgeport – Boca Oyster Bar Waterfront, fresh oysters, high energy. One of the better dining surprises in the county.

Easton – Greiser's Coffee & Market Farm town chic done right. Coffee, pastries, good vibes. A beloved spot that locals protect fiercely.

Fairfield – The Sinclair Stylish modern brasserie. The kind of place that works for a weekday lunch or a leisurely weekend brunch.

Greenwich – Moli Trending, sophisticated, hard to get a table. Book ahead.

New Canaan – Rosie Chic but actually welcoming. Great for a long, slow brunch with people you like talking to.

Norwalk SoNo – The Spread Industrial-chic in South Norwalk with a creative menu and cocktails that earn their reputation.

Stamford – The Wheel Energetic and hip. The most buzzy option in the city right now.
