Bell Tower Shops, widely known as a destination for casual lunches, romantic dinners and nights out with friends, has added another element to its food and beverage offerings.
Three restaurants now serve brunch on the weekends, offering unique culinary options to further diversify the dining experience at Bell Tower Shops.
“So many restaurants in Southwest Florida focus on breakfast, lunch and dinner, but brunch continues to grow in popularity,” said Shannon Palzer, marketing manager for Bell Tower Shops. “The restaurants at Bell Tower Shops have always been ahead of culinary trends, and a weekend brunch appeals to families, young professionals and foodies. And of course, Bell Tower Shops is a great spot for a leisurely stroll after cleaning your plate.”
Society’s new brunch menu debuts Sunday, Aug. 12. Entrée selections include coconut fried shrimp with homemade grits, surf and turf eggs benedict, crispy chicken and waffles, truffle grilled cheese, a variety of sushi plates and other selections, along with brunch-inspired cocktails, champagne and wine.
