Spring arrives with intention this year, and Easter 2026 in Philadelphia and the surrounding region means tables worth reserving early, menus worth planning around, and a weekend that stretches well beyond the usual ham-and-potatoes routine. From rooftop brunches to Polish Easter traditions, Bucks County river views to Old City prix fixe menus, the options are the best they’ve ever been. We’ve been tracking Philadelphia’s Easter dining scene for years — and 2026 is the most expansive edition yet.

Where to Brunch in Philadelphia for Easter 2026

Aqimero at The Ritz-Carlton Philadelphia is setting the standard for the holiday with a special Easter 2026 edition of its signature Bubbles & Brunch on Sunday, April 5, from 12 PM to 6 PM. The four-course experience — $125 per person — opens with a welcome Mimosa or Bellini and moves through a chef-driven brunch that includes a raw bar, Avocado Toast, Tres Leches French Toast, and Seafood Benedict. Set in the heart of Center City, this is the Easter table for guests who want the full production. Reservations are strongly encouraged.

Forsythia in Old City makes the case for brunch as serious craft. On Sunday, April 5 from 10:30 AM to 3 PM, Chef Chris Kearse presents a four-course Easter menu at $95 per person that opens with a pastry assortment and builds to the Lamb Shoulder à la Provençale — slow-braised, finished with spring garlic jus, artichoke barigoule, and crispy potatoes — and a Carrot Cake Entremet with brown butter cream cheese mousse, pineapple confit, and pecan crunch. This is seasonal cooking at its best.

Little Walter’s, Philadelphia’s acclaimed contemporary Polish restaurant from Chef Michael Brenfleck, stages a one-day-only return of brunch on Easter 2026 Sunday from 11 AM to 8 PM. The holiday menu leans into traditional Polish Easter customs: Kiełbasy i Wędliny brings a selection of Polish sausage and charcuterie with zupa chrzanowa and beet pickled egg ($27), while the Pierogi Frittata features potato and farmer’s cheese with caramelized onions and sour cream ($18).

The Naleśnik Maślankowy — buttermilk crepes with blueberry rose jam, twaróg, and hazelnut crumble ($22) — is exactly as delicate as it sounds. The Jagnięcina z Rożna delivers rotisserie lamb shoulder with sweet potato kopytka, scallion, and horseradish ($32), and the Babka z Lodami chocolate babka sundae closes it right. Little Walter’s is also offering an Easter Takeaway Menu for pickup on April 4–5 at 2049 E. Hagert Street: house-made kiełbasa, pierogi, babka, and a Baranek Wielkanocny — cultured dill butter molded in the shape of a traditional Polish Easter lamb ($30).

Amada, Jose Garces’s Spanish tapas institution, opens both its Philadelphia and Radnor locations at 11 AM on Easter Sunday with the full tapas lineup alongside holiday features including Shakshuka (baked eggs with tomato pipérade, olives, salsa verde, and Mahón cheese toast), Croquetas de Jamón (golden Serrano ham bites with a smooth, creamy center), and French Toast topped with sidra-glazed apples and sherry caramel.

Red Owl Tavern, across from Independence Hall in Old City, extends its Easter specials across both Saturday, April 4, and Sunday, April 5, from 11 AM to 4 PM. Holiday additions include Steak + Eggs (coffee–black pepper rubbed flat iron with tallow fries, sunny eggs, charred scallion salsa verde, and horseradish crème fraîche), Jumbo Lump Crab Cake with smashed fingerling potatoes and Green Goddess remoulade, and Spanish-Style Torrijas — caramelized brioche in orange zest–cinnamon custard with strawberry–rhubarb compote and crema catalana. The Mimosa Brunch ($25 per person) pairs a bottle of sparkling wine with any entrée.

Square 1682 at the Kimpton Hotel Palomar adds Easter 2026 specials to its regular weekend brunch service: Eggs Florentine ($20), Easter Frittata with asparagus, tomatoes, and goat cheese ($21), and Mixed Berry French Toast with streusel and whipped cream ($18). Dolce Italian at the W Hotel runs Easter brunch from 7 AM to 2:30 PM at $30 per person for 90-minute bottomless mimosas. The Twisted Tail on Headhouse Square offers a three-course Easter prix fixe at $45 per person from 10 AM to 4 PM — the menu runs from an Easter Salad and Spicy Big Eye Tuna through Lamb Benedict and Spring Omelet, finishing with Lemon Tart, Vanilla Panna Cotta, or Chocolate Pot de Crème.
