Easter Brunch

Easter brunch is one of spring’s best opportunities to go all out with food, family, and friends. This year, Chandler’s Cape Rey, the La Costa Resort and Spa, and 20|Twenty are serving up some of the best Easter Brunches Carlsbad has to offer.

For the complete Easter experience, Cape Rey is pulling out all the stops this year. The resort is not only hosting an elaborate brunch but is also taking little ones into consideration with an Easter Egg Hunt, the ability to snap a photo with the Easter Bunny himself, and arts and crafts. Brunch is available at two times: an Early Bird Breakfast from 6:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. with a buffet for families and Chef Teri’s Easter brunch that runs from 10:30 a.m. – 2:30 p.m. The Easter Egg Hunt has three different time slots throughout the day so that guests can be sure to enjoy the deviled egg bar, smoked salmon bar, prime rib, lobster, and much more without missing out on the festivities.
