Burma Love Menlo Park Brings Bold Burmese Flavors to Brunch
Brunch in the Bay Area just got a vibrant new twist, thanks to Burma Love Menlo Park. The award-winning Burmese restaurant, known as the contemporary sibling to the legendary Burma Superstar, is now offering weekend brunch, and it’s anything but ordinary.
The menu highlights Burma Love’s signature dishes while introducing playful, inventive plates that put a Burmese spin on brunch classics. Beloved staples like the Tea Leaf Salad, Mohinga, and Samusa Soup make an appearance, alongside an array of shareable bites, salads, and noodle dishes. For those looking to sample a little bit of everything, the Tiffin Lunch offers a feast of Burmese Curry, Kebat Stir Fry, accompaniments, Tea Leaf Salad, and warm Roti Platha.
But it’s the brunch exclusives that truly shine. The Mohinga Benedict, for instance, reimagines the iconic Burmese fish soup as a crab cake topped with mohinga hollandaise and a poached egg, while the Shan Shakshouka combines chicken curry, tomatoes, and basted eggs with a coconut crema and roti platha for dipping. Other standouts include Burmese Fried Chicken & Platha with Vermont honey butter and pandan jaggery syrup, a comforting Congee en Croûte with chicken porridge and puff pastry, and a Laphet Tofu Scramble paired with sticky rice hash browns.
Drinks get equal attention, with inventive cocktails like the Burma Mary made with Espelette chili vodka, Thai chili, and basil, or the Orwell, blending Vietnamese coffee, vanilla vodka, and amaretto coffee air. A mimosa selection includes flavors as creative as a Carrot Cake Mimosa, while hot and iced teas round out the experience.
Named Best Burmese Restaurant in the Bay Area by SF Gate’s 2025 Best of the Bay Awards, and FSR Magazine’s Top 50 Independent Restaurants of 2025, Burma Love has built its reputation on artfully prepared dishes rooted in tradition and elevated with modern flair. At the Menlo Park location, brunch offers yet another opportunity to explore the layered flavors and communal spirit of Burmese cuisine—this time, with a weekend-ready twist.
