\nThere are few things more wonderful than enjoying Sunday brunch with family and friends\u2013especially when you\u2019re enjoying eats as innovative and delectable as those at St. Francis in Phoenix. On weekends, St. Francis offers brunch from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m in a super-cool setting that melds modern with industrial with rustic design. On its brunch menu, St. Francis dishes up egg plates, hearty lunch entrees, indulgent eats from the wood-fired oven, a.m. cocktails and much\u00a0more. (St. Francis is\u00a0a great spot to take the kiddos, too, as those 10 and under eat free.)
\nThose craving breakfast-y dishes can choose from house-made biscuits and gravy, a veggie-packed farmers\u2019 market frittata, eggs benedict, hearty baked eggs with braised beef, a turkey scramble and much more. For a sweet start to the morning, St. Francis\u2019 iron skillet pancake is a true treat and possibly the best pancake in the Valley. The thick, warm pancake is chock-full of dark chocolate chips and crowned with caramelized apples, olive oil and a dollop of creme fraiche. Side it with a few strips of delectable bacon, some silky scrambled eggs and a glass of fresh-squeezed OJ.
\nFor something savory, the pumpkin soup is\u00a0velvety goodness topped with chives, pomegranates, croutons and creme fraiche. The pork chile verde is a flavor-packed, slightly spicy dish that will surely wake up those taste buds and is especially tasty when St. Francis\u2019 homemade cornbread is dunked in it. Other savory favorites include the French onion burger, the roasted salmon superfood dish and the chicken salad sandwich.
\nTo end on something sweet, sticky toffee pudding, cheesecake in a jar and chocolate stout cake grace St. Francis\u2019 must-sample dessert menu. www.stfrancisaz.com<\/a>.
