Breakfasts That Make an Early Alarm Feel Completely Reasonable
The breakfast and brunch spots across Adelaide, Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane offering something worth getting up for — whether it’s on your way to work, or your Saturday midday recovery from the night before.
A menu that reinvents the morning classics (or nails them so well you stop ordering anything else). Coffee or matcha you can't recreate on your home machine. A kitchen patient enough to still be plating pancakes at noon for anyone who needed the lie-in. The sort of place that makes your day, not just starts it.
Across Adelaide, Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, we've found the cafes, bakeries and bistros that are worth waking up for: a Japanese breakfast that hasn't changed in over a decade because nobody wants it to, a fine-dining chef's take on brunch, a French-style bistro that'll pour you a Champagne breakfast if the occasion calls for it, and a few that run all-day breakfast for the commitment-phobic. Presented by Honda ZR-V, this guide is your reminder to set your alarm — because for once in your week, it'll be worth it.
