Sunflowers are the design theme here and are utilized both indoors and on the dozen or so patio tables. Located adjacent to La Baguette Bakery, Chef Ghini uses fresh-from-the-oven breads and the freshest local ingredients in her house specialties, including Eggs Provençale (tomatoes and eggs with garlic and thyme. A daily special features Chef Ghini's own seasonal creations.
Don't plan on too many other activities on any Sunday that starts with brunch at The Canyon Cafe. Not only will the meal be the highlight of your day, but you're likely to be too full to function after wards. Start with Eggs Benedict, perhaps, then work your way through the carving station and be sure to stop off at the seafood spot. Put in your order with the pasta chef, but be sure to save room for a trip to the dessert station. This gourmet marathon is sure to be one of your most memorable meals in Tucson.
