’Tis the sea­son for eggs and French toast? It sure is feel­ing like it with sev­eral new brunches being offered recently.

It’s not on the Café Hon web site yet, but accord­ing to the flier left at my door last week­end, the recently Gor­don Ramsay-fied Ham­p­den spot has returned Sat­ur­day and Sun­day brunch to the menu. Brunch will be served from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. each day.

The Dog­wood Restau­rant, another Ham­p­den go-to, has also resumed brunch ser­vice from 10:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Sat­ur­days and Sun­days. The menu includes a smat­ter­ing of Tex-Mex, includ­ing Taos chiles rel­lenos and Park City huevos rancheros; a dash of the Irish in Bridget’s Irish break­fast of baked beans, boiled pota­toes, sausage, bacon, and poached eggs; and a lit­tle touch of the South with fried Chesa­peake oys­ters and hop­pin’ John. Sand­wiches, sal­ads, and burg­ers are also available.

The Four Sea­sons’ Wit and Wis­dom has been open sev­eral months now, but its brunch is a new addi­tion. The menu takes its cues from both Wit and Wisdom’s din­ner menu—lobster corn­dogs, grilled rab­bit boudin sausage—and the menu at the hotel’s LAMILL cof­fee shop, where fresh beignets share the menu with crab or Nutella “pop” pies, a gourmet take on Pop­Tarts.  Other brunch entrées include toad in the hole, chicken-fried steak, brioche pan­cakes, and a cast-iron skil­let omelet. Brunch is served from 10:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Sat­ur­day and Sunday.
