Nothing says Idaho cuisine better than Fork’s menu, full of locally and regionally sourced ingredients. Their fare includes American staples like a hearty burger, tantalizing grilled cheese, and Idaho favorites like Rainbow Trout and the Northwest Filet.
Located at the corner of 8th and Idaho in a historic bank building, the robust stone exterior gives way to a classic interior with giant arched windows along the perimeter. The bar itself is quite the centerpiece and photo-op backdrop. Their heated outdoor patio has a front-row seat to the happenings in the heart of downtown Boise.
Their brunch menu really is why we love this place, full of delicious, wholesome, and quality foods that will be sure to keep you satiated.
Our brunch picks: Chef’s Benny and the Build Your Own Mimosa Bar.
Open: 11:30am-2pm Mon-Fri and 10:30am-2pm Sat & Sun for brunch

This nationwide chain may not be local, but has made a beautiful impression here in Boise.
Located atop the 8th and Main corridor, the gorgeously designed space has an ambience that’s uniquely southern boho with a soft color palette, hanging greenery, and elegant textiles. Ample windows flood the space with natural light, providing the perfect lighting for Instagram-worthy photos. The food complements the airy atmosphere with decadent flavors and stick-to-your-ribs goodness.
Our brunch picks: Fried Chicken and Buttermilk Waffles, Tupelo Shrimp and Grits, and Tumeric Ginger Tonic.
Open: 10am-4pm Sat & Sun for brunch
3. Bacon

The name says it all, this place knows how to make bacon. From chocolate-dipped bacon by the slice to stacked BLTs, everyone is sure to find something that satisfies their bacon cravings.
Nestled in a quaint urban space with a fabulous courtyard patio in Downtown Boise, BACON is home to an expansive breakfast menu that is served all day. Come early or after the morning rush to secure your spot, it gets busy. The signature item that is featured in dozens of reviews is the Bacon Bloody, and yes, it is a must.
Our brunch picks: Bacon Bloody and Bacon LT.
Open: 8am-2pm 7 days a week
4. Goldy's Breakfast Bistro

Jump onto Yelp and you’ll find that Goldy’s reigns Boise’s breakfast scene.
If you plan to go on a weekend morning, be prepared for an hour-long wait. However, you can skip the morning rush just in time for brunch. This charming downtown bistro doesn’t have a fancy entrance, in fact, it’s like a hole in the wall that can easily be passed by. But that’s what makes it such a secret gem of Boise.
Another reason? The blow of an hour-long wait can be softened by a mimosa and pastry next door at Goldy’s Corner, the cafe version of Goldy’s that has a relaxed atmosphere and board games to keep you occupied. The fun part is you can bring your drink with you to the restaurant.
The interior itself is a simple and classic atmosphere, where the focus is on the quality of the food and service.
Our brunch picks: Spicy Chicken and Bacon Benny and a Sunrise Mimosa
Open 7am-2pm Mon-Fri and 7:30am-2pm Sat & Sun
5. Waffle Me Up

If you’re looking for something on the faster and laidback side, look no further than Waffle Me Up.
Serving up scrumptious Liege-style waffles topped with sweet or savory ingredients, this darling family-owned business is sure to please. What’s a Liege-style waffle? These waffles are made from a dough with whole sugar crystals, not batter, that gives them a dense & chewy texture with a hint of delightful sweetness.
Located just a stone’s throw from the Capitol Building, the restaurant has a casual open atmosphere with colorful plates and family-style seating.
Our brunch picks: BOBacado Deluxe and Waffle Me Banana
Open: 9am-2pm Thurs-Sun
