Can Can
Sunday Brunch · Richmond, VA
About
You'll first notice the enormous marble bar when you walk into Can Can, a French brasserie that took over a former wedding dress shop in Carytown. The custom zinc bar was imported from France, and the dedicated bakery and pastry kitchens produce house-made breads and desserts. It's a staple for Sunday brunch, with a menu that includes a raw bar and creative cuisine. Dog-friendly outdoor seating and happy hour specials make it easy to linger. The crowd leans mixed, and while it's not gay-owned, regulars note you'll feel comfortable bringing a date. For a quieter meal, aim for early evening before the bar section fills up and the noise level rises.

From the community
Can Can lives up to its name. The food is good, the wine selection is excellent, and the beer and liquor choices are also great, all served at a long zinc bar. The raw bar and bread are wonderful, and the menu is usually fantastic. It can get loud when the bar area is busy, but otherwise it's a great spot for dinner. It's not a gay-owned or gay-focused restaurant, but you'll feel comfortable bringing your partner. Mine loves it! Highlights: amazing wine list, creative dishes, foodie paradise, good for brunch, great date spot, nice atmosphere, can be noisy.
