Bluebird Café
Often packed with locals and staff from nearby hospitals, the Bluebird's calling card is breakfast. The menu goes beyond the traditional eggs and grits combos. The huevos rancheros are a spicy Mexican repast, and the 'powerhouse eggs' dish contains nutritional yeast, tamari and cheese. The Bluebird is also known for its malted pancakes and Belgian waffles. For lunch, sandwiches (burgers, vegie melts and BLTs) are available. Usually you'll wait for a table. Cash only.

Brennan's Restaurant
Brennan's prides itself on having introduced the luxury breakfast to New Orleans. Indeed, breakfast in one of the restaurant's 12 elegant dining rooms or its lovely courtyard is no petit déjeuner: It's a virtual gastronomic extravaganza that could start with an 'eye-opener' (if you can imagine downing a Sazerac cocktail before breakfast), followed by a baked apple or turtle soup, any of about 20 egg dishes, and then dessert (bananas Foster is a Brennan's original). The dinner menu emphasizes Creole seafood dishes.

Huey's 24/7 Diner
For top-notch breakfast chow anytime of day or night, Huey's your place. It's a tad fancier than a traditional diner, with a huge menu to match. If you aren't up for gut-busting omelette platters, you can drop in for a thick burger or a sandwich. Huey's strays from the concept by including a full bar that never closes, so if you came here to sober up, you can always decide to get drunk again. Not a bad deal.

Slim Goodie's Diner
Among the first restaurants to reopen after Hurricane Katrina was this hip retro diner. Burgers, shakes, all-American breakfasts and other short-order standards are on offer. A standout is the one-eyed bacon cheeseburger, a real eye-opener with a fried egg slipped into the bun. The extensive menu includes varied vegetarian delights, such as potato latkes and blackbean nachos.
