Who wouldn’t enjoy Sunday brunch at one of the Valley’s best restaurants for less than 13 bucks?

At Cork, the restaurant and wine bar located on the northeast corner of Alma School and Chandler Heights roads in south Chandler, Sunday brunch includes bottomless flutes of mimosas, Bellinis or champagne and free housemade doughnuts with cinnamon and honey.

Unlike the appetizer-sized “small plates” offered during the week, Cork’s brunch entrees are full-sized. My choice: a Monte Cristo ($12) made with thin slices of Virginia smoked ham from Edwards & Sons, Swiss cheese and sourdough French toast.

This isn’t a Monte Cristo you pick up with your hands and eat like a sandwich. You drench it with maple syrup — a sweet balance to the salty ham — and eat it with a fork. It also comes with lightly fried potato pieces. Delicious!

The bill for my Monte Cristo, potatoes, doughnut and three mimosas, including tax, is just $12.97. You can bet I’ll be back.

The rest of the 14-item brunch menu ranges from customized omelets ($10) to biscuits and gravy with eggs and bacon ($11) to a mushroom cheeseburger with fries ($15).

Cork, 4991 S. Alma School, Chandler, is open 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sundays for brunch (and at 4 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday for dinner). Info: (480) 883-3773 or corkrestaurant.net.
