April 16 is National Eggs Benedict Day, and New Orleans has no shortage of options for a traditional or creative version of the dish. Maybe you’re in town over Easter Weekend, or maybe you just have a craving for some poached eggs smothered in crawfish cream sauce. These Eggs Bennies will leave you wanting more.

Arnaud’s

Arnaud’s has a section on its jazz brunch menu solely dedicated to egg dishes, so we’ve got plenty of options here. Go for the traditional Eggs Benedict, or spice things up with the Eggs Sardou: poached eggs over artichoke bottoms and creamed baby spinach with Hollandaise Sauce.

Tableau

The Eggs Tableau may be their traditional Eggs Benedict option, but the Eggs deux Façons has brandade, Choupique caviar, and brown butter cream sauce.

At Atchafalaya, we’re eating the Salmon Benedict: limoncello cured salmon, flaky puff pastry, smoked tomato tartine, poached eggs, crab fat hollandaise, crispy capers, and chives.

Don’t sleep on the Crawfish Cakes and Eggs: two pan seared Louisiana crawfish cakes, topped with poached eggs and sauce choron, and finished with a classic étouffée sauce.
