Luna's Pub And Grill Launches Lakefront Sunday Brunch in Evanston

Luna’s Pub & Grill, the lakefront dining destination located on the campus of Northwestern University, announces the launch of Sunday Brunch.

Sunday Brunch at Luna’s is served weekly from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., inviting guests to settle in lakeside for a relaxed midday meal that spans sweet and savory. The menu also reflects Luna’s commitment to thoughtful sourcing, highlighting local and regional vendors including Slagel Farms, Phoenix Bean Tofu, Co-op Hot Sauce, Heaven’s Honey and more. Together, it creates a something-for-everyone brunch designed to bring both families and friends around the table.

From shareable sweets to hearty brunch mains and Luna’s signature pub fare, the new menu is built for the way people actually brunch: Ordering for the table, mixing breakfast with lunch and lingering over one more mimosa.

For the sweet side of the table, highlights include Salted French Toast Sticks served with crème anglaise and togarashi maple syrup, Five Spice Snickerdoodle Donut Holes with crème anglaise and Luna’s Pancakes topped with seasonal fruit, butter and maple syrup. Savory brunch lovers can dig into Smoked Brisket Hash with roasted poblano, red potato hash, eggs over easy, onion and cilantro crema; Biscuits & Sausage Gravy; Eggs Your Way; or a Bodega Breakfast Sandwich layered with a sunny-side-up egg, thick-cut bacon and American cheese on a potato bun.

For guests interested in something lighter, Luna’s also offers a Yogurt Bowl with sunflower granola, strawberry jam and fresh berries; Avo Toast with roasted tomatoes, everything seasoning, arugula herb salad and radish; and salads including Ancient Grains and Street Corn. Several Luna’s favorites will also be available during brunch, including The Burger, made with two dry-aged Slagel Farms beef patties, cheddar, red onion, tomato, pickles, arugula and Luna sauce, as well as the Hot Honey Fried Chicken Sandwich with pepper jack cheese, garlic mayo, local hot honey, coleslaw and pickles.

Seasonal brunch sips include the Stone Fruit Mimosa alongside classic cocktails, spirit-free options and, of course, plenty of coffee.

Set along Northwestern University’s Cohen Lawn, Luna’s offers a dining experience that feels distinctly Evanston. The restaurant’s dining room and expansive patio look onto Lake Michigan, giving guests a front-row seat to the water and a rare chance to turn brunch into a true lakefront outing.

Guests are encouraged to pair brunch with a walk along the lakefront path, time on the adjacent green space or a visit to nearby campus landmarks. Whether it becomes a post-campus-tour stop, a new Sunday ritual or a relaxed start to a lakefront afternoon, Luna’s brunch is designed to feel like more than a meal.

“We wanted Sunday Brunch at Luna’s to feel like a destination, not just another meal,” said Chef Demetrios Kyprianos, Northwestern District Executive Chef. “Our lakefront setting is something no one else in Evanston can offer, and we built the menu to match it with hearty brunch dishes, fun sweet treats, lighter options and a few new favorites we’re excited for guests to try. It’s the kind of brunch where you come for the food and end up staying for the view and the vibe.”
