NOLA Brunch & Beignets
720 E. Mistletoe Ave., (210) 320-1572, eatatnola.com

For something on the savory side, try the Boudin Omelette, Shrimp & Grits or Mid City Muffaletta.

Ocho
1015 Navarro St., (210) 222-2008, bunkhousehotels.com/hotel-havana
The picturesque spot along the SA river is a dependable option for brunch, but diner beware: this downtown restaurant is so gorgeous you may be a bit distracted from your meal. Just take a sip of your Bloody Mary to keep your focus.
