SUNDAY HUNT BREAKFAST

The most famous brunch in Connecticut can be found in Essex at the Griswold Inn...  The Griswold Inn brunch, widely known as a Hunt Breakfast, is so popular - with families, couples and large groups - that you absolutely must make a reservation.

Enjoy the thrill of the hunt each Sunday when a bountiful spread is laid out buffet-style. A dining convention started by the British when they occupied The Griswold Inn during the War of 1812, Hunt Breakfast remains a popular tradition today. This sumptuous offering includes a wide array of breakfast and lunch entrées with made-to-order Belgian waffle and omelet stations, breakfast breads, freshly prepared salads, and assorted desserts.  Refreshing beverages to accompany the meal are at the ready, including our classic Bloody Mary, Champagne Cocktail, and Mimosa.  Hunt Breakfast is served from 11:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m. and reservations are suggested, 860.767.1776.

MENU EVENTS

The Inn’s chefs artfully craft fresh local fish, regional meats and produce into a distinctly native and seasonal menu. From appetizers to desserts, imaginative presentation and exceptional taste characterize the Griswold Inn’s memorable dining experience.

In autumn, the New England Harvest Menu embodies all that is fresh and locally grown or produced. December hosts an extraordinary Holiday Bill of Fare featuring a selection of farm-raised game entrées. Bistro-style offerings are highlighted in our Fireside Menu presented during the winter season, while the pairing of unique wines by the glass with fresh, seasonal appetizers headlines the Spring Dinner Menu. In summer, classic grilled meats, fish and seafood, as well as fresh produce season the menu.
