Philly’s Best Eggs Benedicts and Omelets

Breakfast Boutique

Seafood lovers rejoice! The Breakfast Boutique has an omelet for your taste buds to savor, made with hearty helpings of salmon, shrimp, spinach, and your choice of cheese.

Cafe La Maude

Popular is an understatement when it comes to Café La Maude, with crowds flocking here all week long to get a taste of its menu full of breakfast and lunch dishes. Its short rib benedict is superb, made with pulled short rib that has been sautéed with peppers, onions, and mushrooms, and topped with two poached eggs, avocado sauce, truffle oil, and hollandaise.

Down Home Diner

There’s nothing more Philly than a diner serving up the most comforting breakfast favorites and fulfilling cheesesteaks. At Down Home Diner, they’ve married the best of both worlds. Don’t miss out on its cheesesteak omelet, an epic combo of seared ribeye steak, caramelized onions, and provolone cheese served alongside home fries and a buttery biscuit.

Dizengoff

This colorful restaurant in Center City, which celebrates modern Israeli cuisine, recently launched a much-requested brunch service. A shining star of its new menu is the Israeli Breakfast, whose main feature is a za’atar omelet accompanied by labneh, olives, a chopped salad, and pita fresh out of the oven.

Eggcellent Cafe

This egg-centric cafe has mastered the art of satisfying and hearty egg dishes. Among its menu of out-of-this-world omelets are the Angry Pig (made with smoked ham, spicy maple pork sausage, and jalapeño), the Egg-Zilla (which features applewood smoked bacon, spinach, and Chihuahua cheese), and the Veggie Delight (a vegetarian omelet that combines spinach, onion, bell pepper, and portobello mushrooms).

Green Eggs Café

One of Philly’s most infamous breakfast and brunch spots offers a stellar take on an eggs benedict that is actually a twist on chicken and waffles. Order its fried chicken benedict, made with fried chicken tenders and two poached eggs served atop a buttermilk waffle with maple syrup and hot sauce hollandaise.

Winkel

There is no shortage of options for eggs benedicts or omelets at Winkel, one of Center City’s most treasured breakfast and brunch spots. Choose from fantastic options like the mustard-crisped crab cake benedict or the sardou (spinach and artichoke) benedict, or order one of its sizable omelets like the three-cheese omelet (made with gouda, cheddar, and Swiss cheeses) or the immensely flavorful Brussels sprouts, bacon, cheddar, and chili pepper omelet.

Ants Pants Cafe

Bringing an inventive spin to eggs benedict, Ants Pants Café switches out the classic English muffin with a crispy hash brown, topping it with smoked salmon, sautéed spinach, hollandaise, two poached eggs, and finished with a generous sprinkle of everything bagel seasoning.

Miles Table

Miles Table is a heavy hitter when it comes to breakfast and brunch, with three locations across the city. Here, you can opt for its more-than-filling short rib omelet, made with avocado, mozzarella, red onion, jalapeños, and avocado salsa. Or choose your own adventure with the BYO omelet, where you can mix it up with fillings like tomatoes, mushrooms, chorizo, bacon, or assorted cheese.

Hawthornes

If there’s one thing Hawthornes does well, it’s breaking outside the box when it comes to casual brunch classics. Its crab cake eggs benedict is a brunch lover’s dream, made with lump crab meat, hollandaise, and chipotle aioli, and served with a side of crispy potatoes.

The Dutch

Nestled on a corner in East Passyunk, The Dutch leans heavily into regional fare that brings on feelings of nostalgia. The ring bologna eggs benedict is evidence of this, featuring two dippy eggs and creamed chipped beef.
