Put on your Sunday best. Whether heading from church or an egg hunt, Easter brunch in San Antonio is a chance to see and be seen — and enjoy seasonal specials all over the city.

Biga on the Banks
A must-visit destination anytime of year, this River Walk staple is especially lovely during patio weather. The exact Easter menu hasn't been finalized yet (maybe the chefs have been distracted by the views), but the restaurant is teasing a choice of starters, a mixed green salad, and hearty entrees like Benedicts, steak frites, a Texas mushroom chile relleno, and a grilled Australian lamb rack. Book a spot by calling (210) 225-0722.
$75 for adults, $35 for kids 12 and under.

Corinne San Antonio
The Plaza San Antonio’s flagship restaurant is hopping into the season with plenty of fun for adults and young children alike. There's Easter egg hunts planned for 11:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m., and photo opportunities with the Easter bunny. Adults can find their own sort of bounce at the bottom of a mimosa. Reserve a spot on OpenTable.
$65 for adults, $17 for kids.

Kona Grill
This pan-Asian chain will be open all day, offering unexpected brunch options like lobster deviled eggs and classics like berry-topped pancakes or a savory breakfast burger. Slept past your alarm? Guests dining in later in the day can feast on decadent entrees such as the bacon Wagyu meatloaf with mashed potatoes and asparagus or the Kona Loco with seared ham and fried eggs.
À la carte.

Ostra
If you’re looking for your prix-fixe fix, check out the Mokara Hotel & Spa’s signature eatery. The coastal-inspired restaurant has a $62 three-course menu that includes Gulf blue-crab beignets, soft poached eggs accompanied by a soft-shell crab Benedict, and key lime baked Alaska for dessert.
$62.

Roca & Martillo
Chef Jason Dady has a hearty Easter brunch planned at his standout Italian restaurant at the Rock at La Cantera. The star of the show is a Tuscan marinated sirloin carving station, but there’s lighter fare like a spinach and white Cheddar frittata with chive crema or petite lemon baked salmon. Kids probably won’t be able to get enough of the chicken and waffle bites.
$59.95 for adults, $19.95 for kids.

Whiskey Cake
Don’t be surprised to see Bugs Bunny at the bar. This Northwest Side favorite is spiking its Bloody Marys with carrot juice (they call it the Root Awakening). Grab one before picking a take-home brunch bundle packed with deviled eggs, chicken and waffle sliders, and candied bacon. Both specials are available from April 3 through Easter Sunday.
$30 brunch bundle, in-house dining à la carte.

Zocca Cuisine d’Italia
The Festive Easter brunch options at this downtown spot include standout dishes like spiced carrot cake pancakes with rum raisins and garden nest avocado toast, complete with two sunny egg yolks. Zocca's regular brunch menu will also be available, so order burrata and peaches to share with the crew. Guests can book in advance on OpenTable.
À la carte.

Healthy Valley grab-and-go chain to make San Antonio debut

Fork to Fit Kitchen/ Facebook

RGV chain Fork to Fit Kitchen is expanding to San Antonio.

A new Rio Grande Valley chain is set to make its San Antonio debut, but it may not be what locals expect. Instead of serving the region’s legendary Tex-Mex, Fork to Fit Kitchen will dish out macro-optimized meals when it opens in the Culebra Commons shopping center (7010 W Loop 1604 N.) in late 2026.

Fork to Fit bills itself as “a different kind of fast-food company.” Cofounders Alex Velasco and Jose M Guerra dreamt up the company when Velasco was Guerra’s personal trainer, opening with a single-door refrigerator at the gym where both entrepreneurs worked out.

The concept was intended to be an alternative to the fast food fare that dominates the Valley’s dining scene. Like San Antonio, the area is a mainstay on “fattest cities” lists, regularly dinged for systemic barriers like a lack of easily accessible, healthier meals and economic restraints.

"I started Fork to Fit Kitchen because I believe healthy food should be convenient and accessible," Velasco explains on a company blog. "Coming from a background in fitness and nutrition, I saw how challenging it can be for busy people to find balanced meals that taste good. I wanted to create something better — a place where people could get real, nutritious food without sacrificing time or flavor."

Like almost everything in contemporary society, what is considered nutritious is a matter of some debate. Fork to Fit relies on macros — protein, carbohydrates, and fats — fine tuned for specific health goals. Some nutritionists side-eye the approach, but the company largely avoids dietmaxxing excess (no raw game here) by focusing on foundations like caloric intake.

The largely affordable meals themselves span a variety of international cuisines, but are protein-heavy dishes like barbecue beef bowls, chicken Alfredo pasta, and seasoned salmon with rice. But the company makes room for flavor — even Tex-Mex dishes like birria tacos and enchiladas. Fork to Fit also acts as a coffee shop with favorites like matcha, refreshers, and smoothies. There are even sweets like a chocolate chip cookie loaded with protein.

According to a new Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation filing, San Antonio’s first Fork to Fit location will be done with its buildout by late July. Project timelines are subject to change without notice.
