21c Museum Hotel's Metropole Launches Daily Brunch Service

Metropole, the restaurant at downtown Cincinnati’s 21c Museum Hotel, is now offering brunch from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. seven days a week.

A contemporary restaurant with a menu that blends Midwestern charm and the culinary traditions of the Ohio River Valley with French and Italian influences, Metropole says its brunch offers a fresh take on mid-morning dining. Brunch service will include house-made pastries, as well as innovative takes on familiar dishes that are elevated, yet approachable. Ingredients are also thoughtfully sourced, with Metropole collaborating with local producers like Blue Oven Bakery, Sixteen Bricks and more to ensure the menu features Cincinnati flavors.
