Patio Season at Sonsie: Brunch, Rosé & People-Watching on Newbury
When the weather warms up in Boston, there’s one place that locals and visitors flock to: Sonsie’s iconic patio on Newbury Street. Whether catching up with friends, treating yourself to a leisurely morning, or just soaking up the sunshine, Sonsie’s brunch is the perfect excuse to sit outside, sip something sparkling, and take in the best people-watching spot in the city.
Brunch With a View
There’s something magical about enjoying brunch while the city strolls by. At Sonsie, patio dining means watching Newbury Street come alive. At the same time, you sip on a mimosa or Aperol Spritz and indulge in a menu that strikes the perfect balance between comfort and creativity. The open-air setting is as chic as it is inviting, framed by flowering planters and the historic charm of brownstone architecture.
Signature Dishes That Steal the Show
Sonsie’s brunch menu is full of crowd-pleasers and elevated favorites. Start light with Island Creek Oysters, served with a classic mignonette, or go bold with the Chilaquiles Verdes, topped with a sunny-side egg and fresh avocado. For those who like something hearty and handheld, the Breakfast Sandwich, featuring an over-easy egg, sausage patty, Swiss cheese, and spicy mayo, is a go-to, especially when paired with golden, crispy homefries. The Gil’s Wagyu Burger, with Grafton Village Cheddar and caramelized onions, is an indulgent option for late risers who treat brunch like lunch. Prefer something sweet? The French Toast, crusted in cornflakes and finished with berries and Chantilly cream, is a brunch-time dream. Or go for the Belgian Waffle, loaded with mixed fruit and maple syrup, for a dish that looks as good as it tastes.
Fresh Greens & House-Made Pizzas
Lighter options like the Burrata Salad with heirloom tomatoes and prosciutto crisp or the Little Gem Salad with blueberries and goat cheese are perfect for spring brunching. You can add grilled chicken, shrimp, or salmon to make them a full meal. Of course, pizza fans won’t be disappointed. The Prosciutto and Arugula Pizza adds spice with chili flakes and lemon vinaigrette, while the Angry Pizza turns up the heat with Calabrian nduja and hot honey. Every bite pairs perfectly with a crisp glass of rosé or a spritz from the Aperol Pitcher designed to share with friends.
