Brunch is the cure-all for weekend hunger and hangovers with the right combination of breakfast, lunch, and lots of drinks. It's when it is acceptable to arm yourself with cocktails and coffee, while you hunker down with pancakes, burgers, and so many eggs. The Eater Austin brunch heatmap is your returning guide to the newest and buzziest destinations for the weekend and daytime drinking and dining.

This September update is a tour of Europe, adding French restaurant Paris 13, Spanish restaurant El Raval, and Italian restaurant L’Oca d’Oro.

For more mid-morning weekend ideas, check out Eater's guide to essential brunches. and dim sum. If there is a favorite new restaurant or bar — or an established one trying new things — that is missing from the brunch map, let Eater know through austin@eater.com.
