A longtime tradition, Owen Brennan's headlines Cajun and Creole dishes in a festive, Mardi Gras-like environment. Located in a sophisticated East Memphis shopping center, the restaurant features upscale ambience and friendly service, especially during the signature Sunday brunch, when Champagne flows and a live New Orleans jazz band plays throughout the event. Breakfast otherwise consists of a three-course prix fixe option or ? la carte selections like an andouille omelet, eggs Sardou, praline waffles, or steak and eggs. Dine on the patio under huge shade trees when the weather allows.
