The coolest meal is about to hit one of Des Moines' coolest new spots. Brunch is coming to Eatery A starting Friday at 10 a.m., and boy howdy, does the menu look promising. Brunch will be served every Fri.-Sun. from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Day-drinking options include the usual brunch suspects – bloody Marys and mimosas – but also a sparkling pomegranate punch and the "2932 Cocktail," a grapefruit-Campari-St. Germaine combo that sounds like a snort of heaven.

For eats, the list looks like a selection of brunchy favorites with some Eatery A finesse. Like the Belgian waffle served with salted honey semifreddo (mousse-like frozen magic). Or the omelette with avocado, goat cheese and sweet corn. Then there's some off-road choices like a wild mushroom tartine with hummus or cavatelli with chorizo, sweet corn, jalapenos and soft-cooked egg. How about crab-stuffed piquillo peppers? There's a couple of pizzas on offer, as well as sides of potatoes, sausages, eggs etc.

You can also choose from a simple but nicely curated selection of meats and cheeses. Those have also been added to Eatery A's regular menu, which has been tweaked a bit. A couple of new pizzas and dessert choices have arrived, plus salmon, those stuffed piquillo peppers, mushroom agnolotti with housemade ricotta and a chorizo stew.

You can see the whole mouthwatering brunch menu on Eatery A's Facebook page and find the new dinner menu on Eatery A's website. (The brunch menu will eventually get there, too.)
