The Palm Springs area is an incredible destination for magnificent brunches.

Here’s ten places to take dad for Father’s Day brunch.

1. Fleming’s Steakhouse,  Rancho Mirage

Offering a three course brunch that starts at 11:30 AM.  Customers love the prime rib and wedge salad.  Very nice place to take dad and the whole family.

2. Melvyns, Palm Springs

An ode to the rat pack days, this is a fun place featuring a restored 1895 mahogany bar.  Great ambiance.   Waiters in white linen jackets.  Their great brunch gets started at 9:00AM and goes till 3:00PM.  The banana flambe with vanilla ice cream is a show stopper for dessert.

3. Trio, Palm Springs

Great choice for a full three course meal on Father’s Day.  Located in the trendy uptown district, menu favorites include Crawfish Pot Pie,  Barbequed Ribs and a host of other delectable entree’s that any man would love!

7. Jackalope Ranch, Indio

This place gets rave reviews for both decor and the food!  They are puttin’ on a huge brunch with many choices, including breakfast items, steak and shrimp.  Champagne served all day.

8. Spencer’s, Palm Springs

Nestled at the bottom of Mt. San Jacinto, this restaurant is referred to as ‘casually elegant’.  Known for their very elaborate Sunday Brunch, Father’s Day should be a doozy!  How about Crab Cake Benedict, Lobster Potstickers or Jumbo Shrimp Cocktail?

9. Cheeky’s, Palm Springs

One of Palm Spring’s brunch hot spots, they focus on making the ordinary extraordinary… they have a bacon bar, and fresh squeezed orange juice, gluten free items, poached eggs with chard. Interesting and unique with a bit of trendy health consciousness in the mix.

10. Marriott Desert Springs Resort, Palm Desert

Includes champagne of course, as well as all of the favorite resort style fares:  seafood, beef, crab legs, sushi, pasta station… beautiful classy atmosphere, a perfect spot for a perfect day out with dad!
