Description:
CHINATOWN. Once a theater, the ornate building that houses this beloved Chinese eatery has seen its share of stars over the years. No doubt, Emperor's (or Empire's, depending on to whom you speak) Garden is one of the brightest, thanks to its superb Cantonese dishes. The pre-lunch and Sunday brunch crowds find much to laud about the place's imperial dim sum. |

Description:
CAMBRIDGE. This eclectic restaurant, located in the elegant Charles Hotel, emphasizes New England-inspired dishes, and the use of fresh local ingredients has become one of Henrietta's most enduring qualities. That said, their Sunday brunch buffets have garnered numerous awards over the years, thanks no doubt to the omelet, carving and grilled vegetable stations. Farmhouse-chic decor distinguishes the interior, and sidewalk seating is available, weather permitting. A three-course, à la carte brunch is featured on Saturdays. |

Description:
FINANCIAL DISTRICT. Owned by chef and restaurateur Todd English, this great seafood restaurant is awash in vivid color. Seafood comes from the kitchen steaming hot and tender, as you'll see after ordering crispy bass. Grilled quail satay is also delicious, and you'll find a notable bar scene and a well-selected wine list. In addition, KingFish hosts an exceptional Sunday brunch. Be warned, though, that noise levels can reach epic proportion when diners really pack the place. Smart casual dress. Reservations accepted. |

Description:
WATERFRONT. It's hard to trump the setting of this State Street number, sitting as it does on the waterfront within easy walking distance of the New England Aquarium, Long Wharf and Faneuil Hall. In fact, what truly sets Sel de la Terre apart is its knack for outstanding Provencal brunch favs like poached eggs with baked cornbread, forest mushroom quiche, skillet-roasted bass and steak frites with red wine-shallot sauce. Needless to say, the setting, relaxed and unpretentious, is perfectly conducive for a Sunday afternoon sip of Westport Rivers Rosé, the house wine. |

WEST METRO. This Boylston Street gem is tucked away in a strip mall, and it boasts a pleasant decor imparting a very French feeling.

Follow up with the seared duck steak or steak frites and then a sweet and oh-so-smooth chocolate mousse. Beer and wine available by the bottle or glass. |
