Federal Delicatessen
"The perfect mix of grease and greens. The Fed has that comfortable playfulness that most interiors try too hard to achieve and get wrong. The service is always thoughtfully pro-active and graciously fun, the menu is at once nostalgic and foreign with a moreish quality, and the coffee is bottomless like in the movies!"
Benny Castles, World
Daily Bread in Point Chevalier
"For a sourdough cheese bun. Deliciously crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside, and without the usual bloat that occurs from a glutenous indulgence thanks to the fermentation."
Rachel Mills
Orphans Kitchen
"Because no one can possibly beat homemade crumpets with homemade honey."
Sarah Harris Gould, Harris Tapper
Honey Bones
"Delicious and the service is easy breezy."

Sitting on the Terrace looking out over Hobson Bay to the waterfront. I love their breakfast options especially Smashed Avocado with Kimchi.
Trelise Cooper
Odettes
"For the beautiful food, the calm space and the wonderful, happy people."
Kathryn Wilson
The French Markets in Parnell
"You get so many different options all in the one spot so it keeps me and my girlfriend super happy. Can get a bit claustrophobic on some weekends though, kinda like being at a music festival without being drunk."
