Did Someone Say Eggs Benedict?

Two halves of an English muffin, topped with Canadian bacon and a poached egg, and finished with a healthy pour of creamy hollandaise sauce—this is the classic eggs benedict dish we know and love. And while we always love a classic, the dish is easily open to a chef’s creativity—which is exactly the case in breakfast and brunch restaurants across the Parksville Qualicum Beach region.

Sausage

Try The Hogge Wilde eggs benedict at Trees Restaurant and Bakery, where the Canadian bacon is subbed out with one of their delicious homemade sausage patties. They have a few other creative benny’s to choose from as well.

Salmon

Cedars Restaurant at Tigh-Na-Mara Seaside Spa Resort offers a benny featuring smoked salmon along with the classic English muffin, eggs and hollandaise sauce—and, it’s served alongside some fragrant herb roasted potatoes.

Bagel

If you enjoy the classic dish but prefer a different base, try the Brimm Eggs Benedict—all the ingredients you love piled on top of a fresh bagel instead of an English muffin.

Tomato

Pacific Prime Restaurant at the Beach Club Resort has a few delicious eggs benny offerings, including their Roasted Tomato Florentine Benedict. To complement your poached eggs, English muffin, and hollandaise sauce, savour the taste of oven-roasted Roma tomatoes and wilted spinach.

Mushroom

Mushroom lovers will love the eggs benny option at Bayside Resort, where sautéed mushrooms are complemented with house-made sundried tomato pesto and the benny is served with breakfast potatoes and fruit.

Veggie

Another great vegetarian benny option can be found at Lefty’s, which features sauteed vegetables astride the toasted English muffin. The benedict is also served with mouth-watering basil tots.

Crab

Among the menu of various eggs benedicts and other breakfast dishes at Qualicum Beach Cafe, you’ll find the Crab Cake Benny—where the star of the show is their house-made crab cakes complemented by fresh tomato and house-made hollandaise.
