Some weekends just call for an eggs benny. (For those not familiar, that means an Eggs Benedict…otherwise known as the height of brunch deliciousness.) They’re savory, filling, and have any number of different variations that you can choose from. So, if you’re a Benedict fanatic, we have the top 10 Chicago eggs Benedicts that you need to try at your next brunch…
- Batter and Berries’ Crabcake Benedict {2748 North Lincoln Avenue, Chicago; 773.248.7710}: Batter and Berries sticks to their affinity for reinventing classic brunch items by trading the traditional English muffin for a crab cake in this eggs Benedict remix.
- Stax Cafe’s Prosciutto Avocado Benedict {1401 West Taylor Street, Chicago; 312.733.9871}: This trendy brunch spot has a whole menu section of “eggs bennies” to pick from, but the satisfying combo of good and bad fats on the Prosciutto Avocado Benedict make it an easy choice.
- Nookies’ Dixie Benedict {Various Locations}: You’ll get the best of both worlds with this mouthwatering mash-up of eggs Benedict with biscuits and gravy: two poached eggs with ham on top of biscuits, smothered in sausage gravy.

- NoMI’s Lobster Benedict {800 North Michigan Avenue, Chicago; 312.239.4030}: Piled high with fresh lobster, sliced ham, poached eggs, arugula, and hollandaise sauce, this classy Benedict won’t disappoint.
- Claridge House’s Steak Benedict {1244 North Dearborn Parkway, Chicago; 312.787.4980}: Yes, this benny does have an entire hanger steak on it instead of ham, but it also has spinach so that makes it healthy, right?
- Blue Door Farm Stand’s City Ham Benedict {2010 North Halsted Street, Chicago; 312.265.0259}: Blue Door knows that the recipe for any great eggs Benedict starts with the base, and their incredible black pepper and honey biscuits prove it. We’ll take a dozen to go, please!
- Cochon Volant’s Bacon Benedict {100 West Monroe Street, Chicago; 312.754.6560}: Thick-cut bacon, heirloom tomatoes, and aged cheddar cheese take the classic Benedict to a whole new level at this French brasserie. (They had us at “bacon.”)
