Best Brunch Restaurants in Downtown Des Moines

We had a lovely brunch today after a long flight into town. The food was delicious, served very quickly and wonderfully presented. Our server was friendly and engaging. We were even able to sit in a booth to watch Hawkeye football. Highly recommend for people who are looking for healthy, delicious, gluten free options.

Enjoyed a work lunch. Meal was good. Was told by teammates who had the shrimp and grits the grits weren’t very flavorful but overall, we had a good experience and would return again.

First time visiting Mulberry Street Tavern and we will definitely go back. Wonderful and well- timed service. Our server Andre was one of the best and able to thoughtfully answer any questions about the food. Overall a really awesome experience, setting, and food.

Food and cocktails (which are never cloyingly over-sweet as is common in DSM) are consistently well-balanced and excellent in every respect. My lovely dining companion, an amazing cook in her own right, loves it here, and trust me, that is a very high bar. Only demerit in my opinion is the loud Manhattan-esque techno music that makes it hard to hear people. The younger and less curmudgeonly might love that , though. We will go back.

Dined on a Sunday afternoon. We had a party of 6. The server was very attentive and the pace was just right. We started off with the beignet and cheese curds. Both were excellent. Rum butter dipping sauce for the beignet was delish. The squeaky cheese were fried in a light batter which is how I like it. Had the eggs Benedict which was great. Also try the house rose wine.
