You say ‘brunch’, we say ‘eggs Benedict’. In fact, you say any meal, any time of the day and we\u2019ll probably still say ‘eggs Benedict’. The iconic breakfast dish is probably one of the most loved in the entire world, and rightfully so. Even if you\u2019re veering away from the classic English muffin base, the combination of toasted bread, salty bacon or smoked salmon, and soft poached eggs \u2013 all laced with a buttery, delicately flavoured Hollandaise \u2013 is something that anyone can appreciate.<\/p>\n

\"Eggs<\/h4>\n

All Hail the Benedict<\/h4>\n

The origins of eggs Benedict is contentious, with many major claims being laid to the dish. Our favourite is that of a retired Wall Street broker, Lemuel Benedict, who asserted that he strolled in The Waldorf Hotel, in 1894, in search of a breakfast to cure his hangover.<\/p>\n

He asked for plain buttered toast, two softly poached eggs, crispy bacon, and a glug of Hollandaise. The ma\u00eetre d\u2019, who was famous in his own right, obviously thought this to be genius and substituted an English muffin for the toast and ham for the bacon.<\/p>\n

Wherever this dish came from, the world is truly thankful and a better place for it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

John Gunther said that all happiness depends on a leisurely breakfast, and this must be an unofficial motto for Cape Town residents, as they seem to love a good eggs Benedict breakfast. Here are our favourite places to get your fix of eggs Benedict in Cape Town.<\/p>\n
