Easter is just the occasion to pull out your pastels, hand-dye some eggs and enjoy special family time. But it is also a fabulous excuse to eat. Easter Brunch is not just any breakfast — it's one of the most extravagant morning meals of the year. Instead of toiling away in the kitchen, restaurants around town will be offering special prix fixe menus and lavish spreads.
The question is, where will you be indulging this year? If you're still undecided, we've done the legwork and hunted down the best Easter brunches imaginable throughout every corner of the Mile High City. But, we recommend making reservations.
From breakfast buffets to exclusive menus, Easter Sunday is being celebrated in spirited fashion on the dining scene throughout Denver this year. Delectable holiday favorites and out-of-this-world boozy breakfast specials are just a few of the enticements chefs use to woo guests to a daytime celebration.

EDGE Restaurant And Bar At Four Seasons Hotel Denver
For high quality and class, don't miss the Four Seasons' Easter feast and festivity. The sprawling spread ranges from citrus lump crab salad with butter brioche croutons to eggs benedict with barbecue beef short rib.
An elaborate, all-you-can-eat Easter brunch will be offered at the Tavern locations in Lowry, the Denver Tech center, Littleton and Platt Park from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Featured on the extensive menu, baked ham, roasted sirloin, an omelet station and more. Adults eat for $35, kids under 12 eat for $12, and the really little ones dine for free.
Hop on over to Centro for some delicious and creative Mexican food and classic Easter Sunday cocktails: Chilaquiles, cazuela, carnitas benny, cinnamon sugar dusted churros, mimosas, Bloody Marys, grapefruit Margaritas, and much, much more. There will also be live tunes starting at 3 p.m.
Post up at Uptown's Ace Eat Serve starting at 2 p.m. on April 16 with dim sum, shaved ice, and a series of springtime desserts, including the pineapple wontons and strawberry matcha shortcake.
From 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m, enjoy the pre fixe brunch menu for $36. First course starts with a choice of charred broccoli rabe or ricotta and dried beignets and only gets better from there.
If you're feeling fishy, head to Cherry Creek's Blue Island Oyster Bar. Seafood specials abound, such as the pan roasted halibut with wild mushrooms and house made lox with dill egg salad.
Obviously you like brunch; really, who doesn't. So Del Frisco's in Cherry Creek is extending its brunch hours 'til 4 p.m. on Easter to accommodate the crowds. Grab a steak knife and dig in to the prime rib special. The cocktail of the day, the peepin' cold brew, is an eye-opener with vanilla vodka, fresh cold brew coffee and salted caramel over ice.
Nothing says Easter Sunday like a live DJ – Dio Mio visitors can expect a full brunch menu, complete with Bellinis and other drink specials. The event will be first come-first served.
Serving up a farm fresh family-friendly feast, Uptown's Humboldt has a series of small plates, entrees and desserts to enjoy for the holiday. Try the smoked trout dip, veggie hash with mushrooms, arctic Patagonian salmon mustard crush and more.
Starting of the celebration with an Easter egg hunt for the kiddos, promptly at 9:45 a.m., brunch will be served thereafter until 1:30. Guests can try some of Lola's classic dishes, such as the crab cake Benedictos, lobster tamalitos, Michelada pops and Mexican mimosas.
Denver's newest breakfast destination is serving up an eclectic menu for Easter. Try the daily breads special – a molten carrot cake pancake special, accompanied by the Easter elixir, a carrot spritzer with ginger ice.
For an extended morning from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., guests can enjoy the $20 bottomless bar car brunch including the Big white Russian bar. For grub, try the griddle biscuit sandwich or plantains foster French toast.
In the buzzing Baker neighborhood this Sunday, enjoy a nontraditional Easter meal met with private karaoke, bowling, skee ball, retro arcade games and more. Oh, and the food – try the crispy chicken biscuit with bread and butter pickles, spicy honey and crisp potatoes or the mushroom biscuit 'n'n gravy – for all those vegetarians out there – with mushroom gravy, avocado and eggs between two buttermilk biscuits.
This family-friendly venue serves up a special spread and hosts an Easter egg hunt. Dishes include the grilled ham steak with huckleberry sauce, a roasted 8 ounce left leg of lamb, and creamy cheesecake for dessert.
Celebrate Easter Sunday with Sunday brunch including, but not limited to fried chicken benedict, pork shoulder heaves and Post chile rellenos, alongside some ice-cold beermosas and bloody Marias.
Perhaps traditions aren't meant to be monkeyed with, but they can be experimented with and improved upon. Head to Vesta this year where executive chef Nicholas Kayser is pushing boundaries with a cavatelli special of all-natural, tender, delicate braised rabbit with English peas. Pair with the rosemary mezcal Paloma, the "poor man's Margarita."
