Fancy some fresh oysters for breakfast? Pearl Dive Oyster Palace is the place to go. The menu isn’t limited to oysters, though. You’ll find a bit of everything here, from smaller items like the daily doughnuts and potato latkes to larger plates like huevos rancheros and the brioche French toast. The New Orleans-inspired Pontchartrain, however, has become a brunch favorite. It involves two poached eggs, an english muffin, blue crab, ham, crawfish and cayenne Hollandaise sauce – delicious.

Brunch at a Spanish spot known for its tapas and wines? Barcelona 14th Street does indeed do brunch, and very well. You’ll see all the regulars – eggs benedict, steak and eggs, french toast, even buttermilk pancakes. But you’ll definitely be tempted to share the tapas, such as the spiced meatballs, potato tortilla, or crispy calamari. Complete the Spanish experience with some sangria, or create your own cocktail with help from the bartender.

Le Diplomate has earned a place among the best restaurants in all of DC, let alone Logan Circle. Any meal here is a special one, and brunch is no exception. Start off with a cup of French-style coffee and a basket of freshly baked pastries, and you’ll feel as if you just walked into a cafe in Paris.

Opened in 2012, Drafting Table is yet another great brunch option on busy 14th Street. This neighborhood pub has a simple brunch menu with a couple of standouts that you won’t find elsewhere. The fried pickles are some of the best in the city. The draftsman burger comes with blue cheese, apricot chutney and bacon-onion jam, while the grilled cheese sandwich comes with duck, provolone cheese and hoisin sauce for dipping. On Sundays, arrive early to take in an English Premier League match.

Grab a couple of friends and head over to The Pig for a pork-filled brunch extravaganza. Dare to try the ‘big pig’ – a feast of charcuterie, pickles, olives, fruit, pesto and bread that’s ideal for four to six people. There’s also the ‘little pig’ for a smaller group. Brunch at The Pig is definitely a pork-centric experience, where you’ll discover pulled pork benedict and chicken fried pork and waffle on the menu. Expect a relaxed, easy-going atmosphere.

You simply can’t go wrong with a Belgian waffle for breakfast. At B Too, though, you may find yourself agonizing over the many delectable choices. Feel like ordering something sweet? Then go for the french toast waffle or the ‘decadentes crêpes’ that come with banana, nutella, and vanilla ice cream. There are waffles with an American twist too, like the cornbread and pulled pork waffle. At B Too, you can experience Chef Bart Vandaele’s creation of a space that celebrates Belgian cuisine and culture in an American setting. Homemade pop tarts from Ted’s Bulletin | © m01229/Flickr

Located at the very northern edge of the Logan Circle neighborhood is Ted’s Bulletin. Brothers Ty and Mark Neal opened the restaurant in honor of their father, Ted, who was known for always being ready to welcome guests with a home-cooked meal. Ted’s Bulletin is a throwback to the old-fashioned American diner. The generous portions will no doubt leave you satisfied, but don’t leave without trying a homemade pop tart or shake.
