Sunday's Best brings all-day brunch, rooftop bar to downtown Salt Lake City
Salt Lake City's growing Post District has a new all-day brunch magnet — and a rooftop bar to match. State of play: Sunday's Best opens Thursday, slinging morning-menu items like huevos rancheros, breakfast tacos and buttermilk pancakes, as well as an extensive collection of wines. This is the restaurant's third location after launching in Sandy and at Salt Lake City International Airport in the last four years. The intrigue: The new eatery is almost twice the size of the Sandy spot and features a rooftop bar cheekily called Sunday School, which restaurateur and co-founder Michael McHenry describes as a "first stop" before a night out. What they're saying: For McHenry, brunch is not just a meal, but an "experience" that allows people to gather, dress up and have fun. "One thing we've learned at Sunday's Best is that people come here to take pictures — and then eat," he said. McHenry, along with chef and co-founder Tyler Stokes, decided to open the Instagram-friendly restaurant downtown after it drew crowds in the suburbs. Salt Lake City's brunch scene is still in its early stages compared to other major metros, he noted. "We just wanted to bring the fun, upbeat brunch vibes from other cities that just hadn't quite hit in Salt Lake," Stokes told Axios. Between the lines: Besides its name, the restaurant's religious symbolism includes churchlike arches and chandeliers playfully nodding to Utah's dominant faith, McHenry said. Vibe check: The airy, upscale eatery features cozy velvet chairs, booth and bar seating, and pretty backdrops to strike a pose. What I tried: I indulged in the rich custard French toast with a vanilla mascarpone cream ($15) and a cup of coffee ($5).
