Sunday Brunch in New orleans, where can I find it? I mean a real brunch, not another breakfast/lunch ala carte menu. I want one price gets it all. Popping the corks on the bubble-y would be a good thing too.

My buddy from Metarie who lives in Atlanta now, likes "the court of two sisters", so I'm gonna throw that one out there.

We are heading down first week of November for a 2 day party (Desparados 5) in Slidell at my friend's sister's house (last year was catered by Jaqueimo's) and will follow-up on sunday with an all day frolick in the French Quarter. I know we are going to want a sunday brunch to nurse the prior two days and if that don't work there is the hair of the dog.

The brunch at Begue's in the Royal Sonesta is pretty good (don't know if the bubbly is free flowing or not), for a hotel brunch scene.

The Court of Two Sisters is a lovely location -- really one of the nicest for courtyard sitting. Unfortunately, I have found that the food for brunch doesn't quite live up to the surroundings. You'll do well at the places above and I'll throw in a couple of others: Commander's Palace (which is kind of an institution) and Cafe Degas on Esplanade Avenue. You won't get any music at Cafe Degas, but the food is good and the atmosphere very relaxed. Just my two cents.

[T]he cocktail was originally intended as a brief drink, a quick aperitif to stimulate appetite and stiffen the flagging gustatory senses, but it has passed into accustomed usage as a drink to be absorbed in considerable quantity despite the admonitions of the judicious. -- Lucius Beebe

I believe Commander's Palace is ala carte. I'm looking for fixed price.

Commander's has a fixed-price option:

The entry at the bottom for the Traditional Jazz Brunch

Cafe Degas does not, however. Are you, perhaps, looking for not just fixed price but also buffet style? There used to be several of those around town, but several have been phased out. Court of Two Sisters remains and I believe they do a jazz champagne brunch buffet on Sundays at Harrah's, but I haven't tried it myself. And, of course, Begue's as already mentioned.

Yes buffet style is what I am looking for in a brunch. I was going to check Harrah's online already, now i will definately give it a look. The added bonus is my wife has never been to a casino. The last time I went, I plugged in $50 in the slots and when I hit a $150 jackpot I quit.
