Terra brunch diners at Eataly Dallas are in for a special treat this month, with Sugar & Sage Bakery collaborating in a special Terra Takeover for August weekends. The Dallas bakery’s delicious sweet and savory pastries will be available at Terra for weekend brunch (10:30 a.m.-3 p.m.) now through Aug. 23.
Having brunch, dinner, or any meal at Eataly’s Terra restaurant is always a special occasion. Terra’s attentive, experienced wait staff and the elegant surroundings and table settings provide the setting for a lovely meal, one that starts with a complimentary glass of Prosecco. Chris Waits and I had been invited by Eataly to try the Terra Takeover brunch specials.

Another standout from Sugar & Sage Bakery was the scrumptious Danish alla Pesca, a pastry featuring Peach, Goat Cheese & Thyme Danish, Fresh Brûléed Peaches, and Smoked Vanilla Gelato…
