Million Dollar Waffle brunch plate at Brü GastroCafe, the best brunch in Asheville

All-day brunch, no 11am cutoff

Most Asheville brunch spots stop at noon. We serve the full brunch menu from open to close — 8am to 3pm, every day of the week.

Farm-to-table from WNC growers

Eggs, produce and pork come from Western North Carolina farms. The menu shifts with what's actually in season here, not with a corporate calendar.

Coffee bar and 8 local taps

A full espresso program plus eight rotating Asheville-area drafts, so brunch can end with a cold beer or a blackberry cocktail.

One block off Pack Square

Walkable from every downtown hotel and the Orange Peel end of Biltmore Ave — no car, no shuttle, no waiting list across town.

What to order on your first visit

Million Dollar Waffle ($24) — two caramelized pearl sugar Belgian waffles stacked with folded eggs, brown sugar pepper bacon, aged white cheddar, crispy onions and truffle honey. It is the dish people come back to Asheville for.

Pastrami Hash ($22) — smoked pastrami, roasted potato, pickled onion, sweet peppers, sunny eggs and spicy hollandaise. The savory counterweight, and the one to split.

Chilaquiles ($17) — crispy tortillas, salsa roja, chorizo, cotija, crema, avocado and two fried eggs. Order it with a cold-foam iced espresso from the coffee bar.
