Authentic Louisiana cuisine is the name of the game at this local favorite, which also gets high marks for serving one of the best breakfasts in New Orleans. Superior Seafood's unparalleled brunch menu offers oysters on the half-shell, served either Gulf Coast style; char-grilled with garlic, herbs, butter, and cheeses; or "on horseback," which is lightly fried and served wrapped in bacon. There's also an excellent collection of soups and salads, and a cochon de lait po' boy sandwich that's bound to tickle all the senses.

Sunday Brunch at Muriel's isn't just about enjoying the sights, sounds, and smells of the French Quarter, and neither is it about the amazing food (which is, of course, to die for). Rather, Muriel's makes our list of the best breakfasts in New Orleans because patrons enjoy their food with exquisite live jazz performed by Joe Simon's Jazz Trio. For those who are extremely hungry after a Saturday night filled with partying, the Gulf Shrimp Remoulade (served with remoulade sauce, served in a flash fried tomato cup with red onion and a chiffonade of romaine lettuce) will certainly cure any type of hangover in a jiffy.

Famous for its Creole cuisine with only locally sourced ingredients, Mr. B's Bistro is pleased to serve some of the best breakfast in New Orleans.

Sunday's Jazz Brunch Menu features a wide selection of drinks, including bloody marys, mimosas, and Salty Dogs — and both breakfast and lunch foods to try.

Gumbo, gumbo, and more gumbo are on the menu at Restaurant R'evolution, which has perfected the art of gumbo for their patrons. In addition to serving a traditional gumbo for their Sunday Jazz Brunch, they've also created a gumbo they call "Death By Gumbo," which is made of roasted quail, andouille, oysters, and file rice. The Egg Sardou, which is made of artichoke au gratin, seared eggs, and crostini, is also a favorite amongst the locals who can't get enough of authentic Creole food. And you can enjoy both while listening to the best jazz in the Big Easy!

Looking for a perfect place to grab some brunch before a Saints game at the SuperDome? Look no further than MayPop, which is just a few steps away from the legendary sports complex. MayPop specializes in the non-descript "Southeast Asian" cuisine, but what that really means is slick, well-made food with a mid-century modern decor. Inspired by master chef Michael Gulotta's forays into the Asian continent, the "Dim Sum Brunch" — which is served every Saturday and Sunday — features Southern twists on this much-beloved Asian staple food. Who would have thought one would find a head cheese and blue crab dumpling on any menu outside of the streets of South Korea?

The name "Brennan" in New Orleans is synonymous with quality food, affordable prices, and legendary recipes, and this tradition is continuing with the eponymously named Brennan's, located in the historic French Quarter. Though Brennan's is world-famous for its Bananas Foster — a Bananas Foster that, in fact, has made this restaurant renowned for having some of the best breakfast in New Orleans — they're also known for their "two-course breakfast," which starts with egg yolk carpaccio or seafood file gumbo, and concludes with Eggs Sardou.

Housed downtown in the historical Werlein Music building, the Palace Café is yet another brainchild of the legendary Brennan family, though it's Dickie Brennan who helms this restaurant. There's no place but a Brennan's restaurant where one can try a crabmeat cheesecake, but the Bananas Foster Waffle is what really makes this restaurant known for serving some of the best breakfast in New Orleans.
