Destroyer

No detail goes unaccounted for at Destroyer, where otherworldly presentation and high-quality ingredients combine for the most aesthetically pleasing (and delicious) brunch menu in town. Helmed by Jordan Kahn, the same critically acclaimed chef behind still-closed Vespertine, the pricey, counter service-style daytime café never fails to draw a crowd on late weekend mornings, so be prepared to wait for a seat to eat your strikingly plated food—and to jockey for the limited street parking in the area. Those who have the time and patience, however, will be treated to the joys of unearthing a bite of beef tartare from underneath a tangle of microgreens or digging into Destroyer's luscious avocado confit—a fine dining-esque experience without the sky-high prices.
