McGinty’s Brunch

I’ve mentioned before that I have a love of all things breakfast food related and think breakfast should be served all day long, which makes brunch pretty much perfect in my book!  A few weekends ago some friends and I went to McGinty’s Public House, an Irish restaurant and bar, in Silver Spring.  They have a prix fixe menu where you get 3 courses and a mimosa for $20.95, which 4 of us decided to get.

Their regular brunch menu also had a bunch of delicious options.

We started out with our round of mimosas.

For our starter all of us decided on McGinty’s Brunch Tart, which was a tart with avocado, tomato, mozzarella,  scallions,  bacon and an egg, it was a great combination of flavors!

We got a variety of entrees.  Alyssa, Nick, and I all got McGinty’s Crab Cakes Benedict, which was absolutely delicious, the chipotle hollandaise sauce really set everything off.

Don ordered the steak and eggs which came with home fries and kale.

Brooke ordered the corn beef hash which came with eggs, home fries, and asparagus.

For out final course we each ordered a different dessert and I have to say, they were all amazing!  I went with the crepes brulee which was 2 crepes filled with berry compote and topped with lemon cream and pecans.  The crunchy caramelized sugar was soooo great!

Alyssa got the granny smith apple strudel, it came with sea salted caramel and balsamic strawberry ice cream.  The ice cream had a really great flavor and went really well with the sea salted caramel and apples.

Don went with the brioche bread pudding that came with vanilla ice cream.

Last but not least, Nick ordered the profiteroles.  the crunch outside and the gooey inside was fantastic, especially with he strawberry compote.

Everything was incredibly delicious, I highly recommend McGinty’s for your brunch needs if you find yourself in Silver Spring!
