Editor's Pick

A New Orleans brunch institution born after Katrina and grown into a local favorite across several locations, with the Canal Street spot the most convenient for visitors. The shrimp and grits are legendary and the Eggs Cochon — poached eggs over cochon de lait — are the other order to fight over, with a Bloody Mary to start. Weekend brunch is the move, but book ahead, because the city agrees with you. It is comfort-driven, generous, and a reliable anchor for a slow morning.
