An Enduring Newbury Street Brunch Institution
For more than 30 years, Sonsie has been part of Newbury Street’s everyday rhythm—an international bistro and wine bar where Back Bay residents, shoppers, and brunch enthusiasts gather from morning coffee to late-night brick oven pizzas. Our French doors and European-style sidewalk cafe blur the line between Boston and a bustling European boulevard when the season allows, while the wine room and bar bring a sophisticated yet inviting atmosphere inside.
We’ve always believed in timeless quality over passing trends. Our brunch has become an enduring favorite because it balances international flair with classic comfort, all wrapped in warm neighborhood hospitality. On New Year’s Day, that same Sonsie heritage becomes the backdrop for your first celebration of 2026.
The 2026 New Year’s Day Brunch Experience: How It Works
This New Year, we’re elevating brunch into an experience—with a chance for your entire table’s brunch to be on us. Here’s how our 2026 New Year’s Day Brunch Experience works:
- Reserve your table. Reservations are required for New Year’s Day brunch and for a chance to be selected in our hourly celebration. Make sure your booking is confirmed for January 1, 2026.
- Arrive ready to celebrate. Bring your most festive group and settle into our international, versatile dining room on Newbury Street. The more celebratory your table’s energy, the better the vibes all around.
- Hourly drawing for a free brunch. Every hour during our New Year’s Day Brunch Experience, one lucky reservation will be randomly selected. If your table is chosen, your group’s brunch is free—yes, the whole table eats on us.
- Gratuity remains your choice. While the winning table’s brunch is on us, gratuity remains at the guests’ discretion and responsibility. It’s a simple way to thank your team for starting the year with you.
Think of it as Sonsie’s way of saying “happy New Year” with a touch of international style and a generous neighborhood spirit.
