The Best Breakfast and Brunch Restaurants in Eugene, Oregon | Eater Portland

"Named a semifinalist for the 2023 James Beard Awards, Lion and Owl is definitely one of the more high-end options for brunch in Eugene with a small plates approach that encourages your crew to share. The superb seasonal offerings rotate regularly but include options like hazelnut toast with marionberry jelly and foie gras, open-faced omelets with leeks and crab (plus the optional luxe dollop of caviar), and smoked beets with black garlic and chile maple vinaigrette. Make sure to order a round of mimosas for the table and don’t sleep on any of the breads and baked goods." - Brenna Houck
