Where do we begin? How about banana bread French toast with caramel banana sauce and short rib hash with roasted garlic grits (plus commemorating the experience in the old-school photo booth)? You may wait in line for said specialties on Saturday and Sunday, but regular breakfast (like the pimiento cheese and bacon omelet) is served all day every day.

West Egg Cafe, 1100 Howell Mill Road Northwest, Westside (404-872-3973 or westeggcafe.com).

Go hungry and/or hungover Friday through Sunday for The Big Nasty (buttermilk fried chicken, scrambled egg, bacon, and cheddar sandwich) and wash it down with an Orange Stillman — a 32-ounce jar of vodka, Orange Crush, champagne, and OJ. Don’t tick off Ron “The Angry Chef” Eyester or he might tweet about you.

Rosebud, 1397 North Highland Avenue, Morningside (404-347-9747 or rosebudatlanta.com).

Your day (and life in general) gets brighter with a pimiento cheese omelet or challah French toast stuffed with honeyed ricotta in one of the happiest cafes in town (serving brunch all day every day). Make it even happier and BYO bubbly for mimosas.

Sun in My Belly, 2161 College Avenue Northeast, Kirkwood (404-370-1088 or suninmybelly.com).

If brunch money is no object, indulge at The Ritz’s renowned Sunday buffet, with more than 50 selections (seafood, cheeses, charcuterie, fruit, waffles, pastries, pastas, etc.), carving and omelet stations, and an insane dessert table. Mix your own Kir Royale, Bellini, or champagne cocktail at the Bubble Bar.

The Ritz-Carlton, 3434 Peachtree Road Northeast, Buckhead (404-237-2700 or ritzcarlton.com).

The next best thing to brunching on Bourbon Street is chef Scott Serpas’s Sunday specials like New Orleans beignets, fried oyster eggs Benedict, and banana brown sugar French toast. When 12:30 p.m. strikes, have a Who’s Your Daddy (Jim Beam, ginger liqueur, house cherry brandy, and bitters).

Serpas, at Studioplex, 659 Auburn Avenue, Old Fourth Ward (404-688-0040 or serpasrestaurant.com).

Two words: coconut pancakes. But don’t overlook other droolworthy items at Indigo Girl Emily Saliers’s sleek but casual restaurant, including chicken-fried poached eggs and country ham and biscuits with Tupelo honey (available on Saturdays and Sundays). You’re closer to fine.

Watershed, 1820 Peachtree Road, South Buckhead (404-809-3561 or watershedrestaurant.com).

This ain’t your run-of-the-mill buffet. Walk through the kitchen on Sundays and fill your plate with Chris Hall and Todd Mussman’s cherished brunch fare like mushroom and goat cheese quiche, French toast with macerated peaches, Tybee Island shrimp with creamed corn, and pineapple lemon smoothies (menu changes weekly). Stretchy pants are encouraged.

Local Three, 3290 Northside Parkway, suite 120, Buckhead (404-968-2700 or localthree.com).

Chef Jay Swift changes his menu seasonally, but you can expect dishes like crab fritters, house-made donuts, and Red Flannel Hash (48-hour brisket, fried egg, beets, fingerlings, hollandaise) at the classy Fourth Ward establishment on Sundays. Skip the mimosa and peruse the long and lovely cocktail list.

4th & Swift, 621 North Avenue Northeast, building b, Old Fourth Ward (678-904-0160 or 4thandswift.com).

You and your amigos don’t usually say, “I could go for Mexican,” when it comes to brunch. You’ll change your ways after saying hola to The Adios (chorizo potato cake topped with two eggs, salsa verde, and sour cream) on the weekends. And the papaya mimosa is muy bien.

No Mas Cantina, 180 Walker Street, Castleberry Hill (404-574-5678 or nomascantina.com).

Everything on the brunch menu (served daily) is a winner, but if you can finish the peanut butter French toast with no help, you deserve a medal. See also: the best oatmeal in town (we like it with blueberry compote) and baked goods to make you swoon.

Highland Bakery, 655 Highland Avenue, suite 10, Old Fourth Ward (404-586-0772 or highlandbakery.com).

Some say it lost that hometown charm when it franchised; we say it doesn’t matter because the fluffy biscuits are still the stuff dreams are made of. As are the creamy, dreamy grits. And the organic oatmeal pancakes with peach compote. And basically everything else on the massive menu served daily.

The Flying Biscuit Cafe, 1655 McLendon Avenue, Candler Park (404-687-8888 or flyingbiscuit.com); more locations online.

Sipping $11 bottomless mimosas and Bellinis under the trees at Inman Park’s most tucked-away spot makes you feel as if you’re in a grown-up tree house. Peaches and cream French toast and chef’s shrimp and grits (served Saturdays and Sundays) remind you that said tree house is in the South.

Park’s Edge, 913 Bernina Avenue Northeast, Inman Park (404-584-7275 or parksedgeatl.com).

The secret sauce to staying popular for 30 years may be in the Eggs T. Murphy (poached eggs and honey-cured ham on an English muffin with hollandaise) or the best frittatas this side of wherever frittatas originated (weekends only). The homey atmosphere and central Virginia Highland location don’t hurt either.

Murphy’s, 997 Virginia Avenue, Virginia Highland (404-872-0904 or murphys-atlanta-restaurant.com).

Do breakfast every day (except Monday), but pay what you want for Sunday brunch (a portion goes to a local charity), which includes tasty quiches, frittatas, Jenny’s power oatmeal, and lots more goodness. Later, plan the rest of your day (or future) after a psychic reading in the attic.

Cafe Jonah and the Magical Attic, 3119 Paces Ferry Place, Buckhead (404-343-4107 or cafejonah.com).

For a slice of history with your country ham skillet or Southern breakfast (two center-cut pork chops, eggs, grits, biscuits, and white gravy), visit the charming, 45-year-old restaurant that has welcomed the likes of Clint Eastwood, Guy Fieri, Val Kilmer, and others.

The Silver Skillet, 200 14th Street Northwest, Midtown (404-874-1388 or thesilverskillet.com).

We know you like options. On weekends, feast on Georgia trout and eggs or fried green tomato Benedict in the New Orleans-style resto; weekdays bring a more casual, communal dining experience (and ginormous Doghead Biscuits) in the downstairs market or on the pup-friendly patio.

Parish Foods & Goods, 240 North Highland Avenue, Inman Park (404-681-4434 or parishatl.com).

Yes, a pizzeria has one of the tastier brunches in town with Nutella banana pancakes and the hearty Bobby’s omelet (sausage, capicola, fontina, and roasted red peppers). On Saturdays and Sundays, sip $10 bottomless mimosas, Bellinis, and bloody marys on the patio overlooking Peachtree.

Varasano’s Pizzeria, 2171 Peachtree Road, Buckhead (404-352-8216 or varasanos.com).
