Staunton's Mockingbird Cafe

Brunch was a highlight of our day trip to Staunton. The choices seemed endless:

• The Beverly Restaurant
• Mill Street Grill
• The Dining Room
• Zynodoa
• Depot Grille

We finally settled on the Mockingbird, a charming downtown restaurant that has live music on Sunday morning and assorted other evenings.

It's the kind of place with cool tin ceilings, chalkboard specials, and local artisan bacon. Yum.

What to order?? We finally picked out the ricotta pancakes with citrus butter (and also with surprise blueberries!), and an assortment of sides. Everything was delicious, but the pancakes and bacon were the best.

Just what we needed to fill our tummies before going to see Woodrow Wilson's childhood home ...
