For a Mediterranean brunch on the lower east side, try Mezetto. They have a bottomless brunch (proceed at your own risk) and tons of sharing options. The menu is split into spreadable, brunch bites, and proper brunch plates. If you’re having a hard time deciding which to choose, we recommend sharing a bunch of bites and a spreadable, or a few of the brunch plates.
Some brunch bites we recommend are the calamari frito, ricotta jalapeno poppers, and falafel steam buns. If you’re looking for a well-rounded meal, try the classic Mezetto breakfast (fried eggs, quinoa, Israeli salad, avocado, and hummus), the sweet potato frittata, or the bah-bah burger with tzatziki and potatoes.
