Did you know that National Brunch Month is celebrated every April? It's a time to celebrate with brunch in Fort Lauderdale!

The word "brunch" and the meal have a long history. Created in England during the 19th century as an afternoon meal following church services, it eventually evolved into a multi-course affair. It wasn't until the 1930s that it became an integral part of the US vocabulary. Many establishments offer their customers various food and drink options, and they often have a buffet-style meal that's perfect for everyone. Besides the usual fare, such as eggs, fresh-baked bread, and fruit, other options like coffee, tea, and champagne are included alongside the heartier dinner menu. 

Brunch is an excellent way to end your weekend with family and friends and visit an area restaurant. We've rounded up some of the best brunch options in Fort Lauderdale for you to try during the month of April!
