CAPITOL HILL: Garrison Debuts Sunday Brunch Service

Beginning Sunday September 27th, Chef Rob Weland will now offer Sunday brunch service at his independently owned and operated restaurant, Garrison.

The menu features raw and cured ingredients, vegetables, dishes from the griddle and locally grown eggs, all of which serves up a fresh palate to the neighborhood restaurant. Weland uses simple ingredients and house-made techniques to create unique combinations. The duck and pork sausage in the Duck Sausage & Biscuits ($24) is made in house and paired with a buttermilk and thyme biscuit. The Gougères & Soft Scrambled ($25) is stuffed with soft, airy scrambled eggs and topped with poppy seeds, smoked trout, caviar and crème fraîche – adding a new flavor to the brunch scene.

Menu highlights include Æbelskiver ($12) – a Danish doughnut with lemon curd and jam, Red Flannel Hash ($24) made with house cured pastrami and Dutch Pancakes ($15) served with ricotta, summer preserve and lemon sugar. The five egg dishes on the menu are made from local eggs sourced from the Path Valley and Tuscarora farms.

Libation offerings, including four cocktails concocted by cocktail talent Gina Chersevani and Garrison bartender Jessica Moyer and an extensive beer and wine list, complement Weland’s seasonal brunch menu. The Bloody Mary ($12) is garnished with togarashi salt and pickled okra, the Stone Fruit “Mimosa” ($12) with house-made fruit sorbet and cava, and the Breakfast Old Fashioned ($12) with cherries and pork washed bourbon. A classic Aviation ($12) with crème de violette, gin and maraschino liquor rounds out the cocktail menu.

The imaginative brunch creations reflect Weland’s culinary training and use of traditional techniques such as smoking, canning and pickling. Weland’s passion for local products is woven throughout the menu and made possible by his partnership with One Acre Farm and relationship with local producers in the Mid-Atlantic region.

Brunch is available from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. on Sundays, and the full menu is available here.


Garrison is located at 524 8th Street, SE at Barracks Row.
