Best Lunch Restaurants in Bel Air

"This husband-and-wife-owned business features dozens of bins of vinyl to flip through while enjoying your morning dose of caffeine at this Mount Vernon café. After browsing the musical selection, you can enjoy local roasts from Open Seas Coffee, breakfast pastries and lunch sandwiches on the front patio. Want to expand your own record collection?"

"Atmosphere is everything at Baby’s On Fire, one of Baltimore’s hippest new cafes. The joint’s as much about delicious coffee and pastries as it is about the vintage vinyl records for sale inside. Located in a renovated former carriage house in historic Mount Vernon, Baby’s on Fire was established by a pair of Baltimore musicians."

"The Corner Pantry is a relaxed, contemporary restaurant that serves a menu of locally sourced, modern British cuisine. Located in Lake Falls Village, just north of the Mount Washington, the British-inspired Corner Pantry offers high-quality, locally sourced cuisine in a casual setting and is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and also offers grab-and-go fare. Breakfast is served Monday through Friday and features classic dishes such as avocado toast, croque madame, three-egg omelets, pancakes, egg soldiers, scrambled eggs, and quinoa bowls."

"One of the best brunch spots in Baltimore is The Corner Pantry in Mount Washington. Tucked away on Falls Road, this British inspired cafe is home to some of my favorite pastries and breakfast sandwiches with a regularly rotating specials menu. While everything always looks delicious, I always stick to my favorite when I visit – the egg and cheese sandwich."

"Corner Pantry has made a huge splash in the Baltimore food scene since it opened just a year and a half ago. Neil Howell is serving up some real deal British food at this eatery in Baltimore County. This place is so much more than fish and chips, though (which are not to be missed on Fridays)."

"This longtime Federal Hill favorite serves breakfast all day and is known for its over-the-top comfort foods like The Beast (buttermilk biscuits sandwich with fried chicken, fried eggs, smoked bacon, sausage gravy and cheese) and the 3B breakfast burger. Plus Spoons serves giant cups of house-roasted coffee to help revive you from the food coma that inevitably ensues."

"The wait is still very long to be seated, but they are very clear about their process--- and it has never actually taken t..."

"We live in Federal Hill and appreciate the effort that Spoons has made to be a part of this community."

"The American Visionary Art Museum is a fun place to visit as it houses various pieces of bright, intriguing art. This museum has a ton of vintage artifacts, quirky pieces, and interesting exhibits that display true imagination. Lovers of art and creativity would love to see this museum."

"The American Visionary Art Museum (AVAM) is an art gallery that features work done by self-taught artists in the federal hill neighborhood. You might see contemporary art pieces done by prison inmates or farmers. The purpose of the museum is to challenge what it means to be an artist."

"A visit to the Maryland Historical Society provides you with a great way to learn more about the history of Baltimore and of the state itself. You can look forward to learning through a variety of fascinating exhibitions and displays, with some wonderful collections and exhibits that form part of the museum. This is a place that can be enjoyed by children as well as adults, providing the whole family with a great opportunity to learn more about local history."

"One of the oldest cultural museums in Maryland, the Maryland Historical Society, has a collection of Maryland’s history since 1844. The museum is home to over seven million historic artifacts that date back to pre-Colonial times. Address : 610 Park Ave, Baltimore, MD 21201"

"1534 Eastern Avenue Baltimore, MD 21231 (410) 522-5800baltimoretattoomuseum.net/index.htm. The Baltimore Tattoo Museum offers a look into the history of tattoos, as well as photographs of some of the tattoos done throughout the years. You can also get a tattoo there, if you’re so inclined."

"The Baltimore Tattoo Museum preserves the history and art of American tattooing; while you’re there, add to its history by getting your own piece from one of their talented artists."

"Lebanese Taverna, since 1979, has been serving vintage Eastern Mediterranean cooking in a modern setting. The restaurant was established in Arlington’s Westover neighborhood by Tanios and Marie Abi-Najm, who had survived the civil war in Beirut just three years before. The mood is always merry and, as is the Lebanese tradition, dishes are delivered with sharing in mind."

"President St. in the Inner Harbor, the Mediterranean, Lebanese and vegetarian spot is the highest-rated vegetarian restaurant in Baltimore, boasting four stars out of 409 reviews on Yelp."

"Besides being a go-to spot for catching the latest soccer game, Claddagh Pub has an interior courtyard with its own bar and is covered by nothing but twinkling lights. Be sure to check out the surf and turf options, or an authentic Irish reuben."

"In a city dotted with dozens of well-worn tappies, Idle Hour stands out thanks to its insistence on being itself. The unassuming South Baltimore bar, plugging along since the early aughts, is dimly lit in the most-soothing sense of the term, its broken-in stools populated by easygoing locals listening to whatever’s spinning on the turntables (BYO records on nights without DJs). They’ve got all the stuff you’d expect from a quality hang (local drafts, local art), along with other stuff you wouldn’t — see the inexhaustible supply of Chartreuse, more commonly associated with high-end cocktail bars."
