This Cajun joint in the Charlotte arts district serves brunch with flair and is a favorite of Charlotte magazine. Beignets are a must, and where else would brunch involve a croissant Florentine or crab omelet? It's also a great spot to indulge in chicken and waffles or biscuits and gravy.

When you wake up on a weekend morning in Charlotte and want a wholesome, sustainably-sourced, homestyle brunch served in the height of Southern charm, turn to 300 East. A popular starter is baked marinated Vermont goat cheese, and all the eggs are free range and sourced from local family farms. These ingredients are used to advantage in dishes from breakfast pizza to vegetable Benedict. Sides are too numerous to mention, but look for the Wild Turkey Farms Chorizo and Heritage Farms bacon. The wine list is extensive enough to play around with pairings, too.
