With so many great places to eat in Philadelphia, it can be difficult to choose just one for your weekend brunch. If you’re having trouble deciding, consider adding Café La Maude to your list. This popular local favorite is always busy on the weekends, but it’s well worth the wait if you’re a fan of European-style dining and some of the best people watching in town.

The restaurant’s French decor features black-and-white cane chairs and bistro tables both inside and out, a striped, Parisian-style awning, and antique furnishings throughout the light-filled dining room, and although it feels quite upscale, the atmosphere is anything but pretentious. Start your brunch with a cappuccino topped with impressive latte art or bring your own champagne to make BYOB mimosas. Next, move on to decadent egg dishes like the Parisian Za, croquet madame, sweet potato eggs Benedict, and many others, all at very reasonable prices.
