This is not just any sunday brunch in Yosemite, it is the once a week Sunday brunch at the Majestic Yosemite Hotel – previously called the Ahwahnee hotel, and the finest dining restaurants in the park – the Sunday brunch is no exception. The Ahwahnee hotel in Yosemite, one of the grandest national park hotels is rustic and elegant within it gorgeous surroundings. Considering it’s in a national park with typical park concessions, the dining options and brunch is a level above the regular concessions in the park with spectacular surroundings. The dining room is set apart from the hotel with huge French window/doors overlooking magnificent park views with mature oaks and some dramatic views of Yosemite Falls.

A perfect Sunday Brunch in Yosemite

Majestic’s Sunday brunch is a casual affair compared to the more formal dinner, but the menu is just as extensive with various serving stations to cater to those interested in more brunch menus. The buffet area has many food stations including a seafood and sushi bar,  a custom-made omelet station, cold cheese and anti-pasta, a carving station with prime rib, ham and various hot meat entrees, a station just for home-baked breads, waffles and French toast and a very impressive dessert bar.
