While in Salt Lake City, we asked my brother-in-law where culinary enthusiasts and brunch aficionados alike are drawn to for weekend brunch in the city. He immediately booked us for a Saturday brunch of enchanting flavors and warm ambiance at Manoli's. Nestled in the vibrant 9th and 9th neighborhood, Manoli's offers a brunch experience that goes beyond mere sustenance; its Mediterranean-inspired dishes, are crafted with passion and culinary finesse.

Indulging in a brunch feast at Manoli's, flavors take center stage! We started our meal with pipping hot black coffee and sipped on Elderflower Mimosas. This refreshing and elegant cocktail made by combining sparkling wine, with elderflower liqueur gave floral and slightly sweet notes of elderflower complement the effervescence of the sparkling wine, creating a delightful and sophisticated beverage.

Next we dove into our mains which included the Breakfast Sandwich—bacon, eggs, arugula, and more on sourdough. The Vegetarian Polenta Cake, seared herbed polenta, sautéed veggies, and a perfectly cooked egg with orange yolk, while the Manitaropita showcased a delightful blend of mushroom and spinach tyropita goodness. Not to be missed was the Lamb Burger for our son, a juicy lamb and beef patty masterpiece with a medley of Mediterranean flavors. Saving room for the grand finale we couldn’t leave without sharing a plate of—Myzithra Pancakes topped with whipped cinnamon butter and Metaxa maple syrup. The whipped cinnamon butter and Metaxa maple syrup further enhance the overall experience, adding sweetness and warmth. Expect a delightful blend of savory and sweet flavors that creates a distinctive and delicious pancake sensation.
