Brunch in Salt Lake
Thirteen places for a weekend brunch, downtown first, then out through 9th and 9th, Millcreek, Taylorsville and Sandy, and up two canyons. Prices are from each place's posted menu where it lists them; these aren't reviews, so the notes stick to hours, booking and parking.
Salt Lake Valley only; every hour, price, address and booking link is from the restaurant's own site or the booking page it links to, TRAX stops come from UTA, and nothing here is a review.

21 and over, restaurant included. Book on SevenRooms from the site.
The Copper Onion
An American brasserie on Broadway that makes its food in-house daily and serves brunch both weekend days.
