The Irvine Standard recently published an article<\/a> on the best brunch spots in Irvine because when Sunday rolls around, Irvineites (yes, we just coined that) are often left wondering where the best french toast is. Here are the recommendations (and we’ve added our own, too!)<\/p>\n

The wine enthusiast
\nCucina Enoteca<\/strong>\u00a0means \u201cwine shop\u201d in Italian, which makes it the perfect place to pair Sunday brunch dishes with a glass of wine. The extensive but approachable wine list has a collection of global wines offered by the glass so you can try a new favorite. How about a warm breakfast pizza from the wood-fired oven, topped with bacon, cr\u00e8me fraiche, potato and a farm fresh egg? Cheers!<\/p>\n
