Sydney Restaurants

  1. Bills

    Although it's now cloned throughout the Eastern Suburbs, the original bills still has the best vibe. The tucked-away location and large communal table lend a casualness not normally associated with celebrity chef establishments. Bill Granger is Mr Scrambled Egg, so dropping in for brunch is an affordable way of sampling the best bits of one of Sydney's iconic culinary talents.

  2. Bower Restaurant

    Follow the foreshore path east from Manly's ocean beach to this little, white food room, within sea-spray's reach of tiny Fairy Bower Beach. The 'Big Bower Breakfast' is a knockout, Mod Oz mains are delicious, it's BYO, and they're not afraid to let Olivia Newton John wail from the stereo.

  3. Café Sofia

    In the heart of Erskineville village, Café Sofia's sunny back courtyard is a popular spot to enjoy an all-day breakfast and great coffee. The salmon muffin with poached eggs and salad is a steal at around A$6 , and the friand and cake selection is always fresh and luscious. Greek mezze is served after .

  4. DOV

    It's probably linked to endless nights of party-love, but big breakfasts are something Sydney does well. DOV, the busiest café on Victoria St, does one of the best. If they sleep through breakfast, locals, backpackers, style-mongers and filmmakers squish in for lunch and dinner. The DOV burger reigns supreme.

  5. Two Good Eggs

    We love the egg-shaped lighting fixtures and industrial feel of this corner café on the lower slopes of Surry Hills. It's a great spot for a weekday breakfast, killer coffee and yes, eggs dominate.

  6. Vamps

    This romantic little old-style French restaurant serves classics such as duck à l'orange and Crêpe Suzette in the evenings. However, it's the weekend Breakfast Club that keeps us coming back. After a hard night out grab a seat in the pretty courtyard, order lots of coffee and a hearty breakfast (around A$4 - A$13 ) and vamp it up with the waiters.
