1. Polite Society’s Chorizo Avocado Benedict
1923 PARK, LAFAYETTE SQUARE
Almost everything’s different from the traditional Benny at the Lafayette Square hot spot. There’s chorizo and avocado, yes, as well as fresh pico de gallo and a biscuit made with masa cornmeal. Pair it with bubbles from Burgundy, a Picamelot blanc de blancs.

2. Sardella’s Eggs Benedict Raviolo
7734 FORSYTH, CLAYTON
Egg yolk–stuffed ricotta ravioli? Brilliant. A stunning browned-butter hollandaise? Even better. And new potatoes, served crash-style, to help wipe up every last bit of the sauce? Genius.
3. Egg’s Corn Bread Benedict
2200 GRAVOIS, SOUTH CITY
Who needs an English muffin? A slice of semisweet cornbread is the perfect sponge for a slab of smoked pork belly, poached eggs, and hollandaise. Prefer a more veggie-friendly take? There’s also a sautéed spinach–and–avocado option.
4. EdgeWild Bistro & Tap’s Aloha Benedict
12316 OLIVE, CREVE COEUR
We’ve all heard of topping a pizza with grilled pineapple and Canadian bacon. EdgeWild Bistro proves that the combo works equally well atop a Benedict, kicked up by a little sriracha in the hollandaise.
5. Blue Duck’s Blue Duck Eggs Benedict
2661 SUTTON, MAPLEWOOD
It’s hard to choose a favorite eggs Benny at Blue Duck, where you can pair an English muffin, poached eggs, and hollandaise with fried trout, pork belly, veggies, fried chicken, or, of course, duck. Start with the namesake.
