Where To Brunch In Melbourne

The temperature’s dipping now, so you need to make sure you’re kept nicely fed. Why not add in that all important meal that falls nice and neatly between breakfast and lunch that is brunch? We’ve found some of the best places in Melbourne that serve brunch.

Breakfast Thieves

The guys here have quite literally stolen the idea of breakfast and turned it on its head. Think brioche French toast with candied bacon, saffron-poached pears with berry yoghurt, and quinoa muesli with mango and almonds. With special weekend dishes and a waft of freshly baked muffins, they might just steal your heart. Now that you no longer need to search for the best place to brunch in Melbourne you can pop in between 7.30am – 4pm Tuesday – Friday, from 8am on weekends. Shop 1, 420 Gore Street, Fitzroy breakfastthieves.com.au

Mazzitelli

It’s eggs galore until 3pm at Mazzitelli, with a variation to suit all brunch addicts. Dive head first into the three-egg omelette, stuff The Patsy into your empty gob or fill your boots with their take on Eggs Florentine, including poached eggs, English muffins, smoked bacon, spinach and apple cider. There’s also your choice of antipasti to pick at or handmade baguettes that will make you feel much better for choosing a late breakfast, all from 8am, seven days a week. 144 Bridge Road, Richmond www.mazzitelli.com.au

Pillar Of Salt

Brunchers flock to Pillar of Salt, with just 15 minutes between breakfast and lunch menus, so time it right and you’ll get what you fancy. Until 11.45am, you can enjoy a serving of corn fritters with smoked salmon, poached eggs and salsa, or discover Summer In Paris – a delectable croissant with French butter and half a ruby grapefruit. From midday, opt for the Lots Wife, a generous open sandwich filled with rump steak, beetroot & horseradish relish, feta cheese, tomato and spinach for 20 bucks. And don’t forget about the special 5 Senses coffee – a finishing touch to your morning brunching in Melbourne! 541 Church Street, Richmond www.pillarofsalt.com.au

Is It Café

Get comfortable at Is It Café, because you might find yourself here a while. Sampling the menus, dig into the all day breakfast of bacon, black pudding and homemade hash browns paired with a cheeky Bloody Mary or espresso martini, whichever gets your juices flowing. For those with more of a sweet and tangy craving, the blackberry pancakes with lemon curd are a great alternative. Available from noon, lunch consists of salads, soup and burgers, with a hearty helping of hand cut chips if you’re extra peckish. With a marvellous play on words (check out the street name), Is It Café should definitely be your next brunch outing in Melbourne. 11 Izett Street, Prahran isitcafe.com.au
