Brunch Me with Your Best Shot – 6 Venues to Brunch and Munch

We are always up for brunch, whether it is catching up with your posse or hanging with your BFF!

The only thing better than brunch is brunch with friends…did you know in 1895, Guy Beringer first coined the phrase in a London publication called Hunter’s Weekly?

In his article ‘Brunch: A Plea’, he claimed that a late social breakfast on Sunday would make life brighter for Saturday night carousers.

Today we never brunch alone and it is the best time to dish up all the gossip from the week! Here are 6 venues where you can brunch now and nap later: 

Everything on the menu is phobulous at authentic Vietnamese restaurant, Glenda Pho Cafe, on Bay Street in Port Melbourne. A chic dining space projects a friendly and comfortable vibe while attentive staff are there to make you feel at home in surrounds of whitewashed brick, glowing pendent lights, white wood and leather banquette table settings.

 

Stop in for brunch and pair a cheeky Espresso Martini with fresh grilled chicken rice paper rolls with lettuce, vermicelli and housemade hoisin sauce; perhaps opt for Peking duck wraps with cucumber, carrot, spring onion and Peking sauce, or a BBQ pork banh mi on a crusty baguette.

Showcasing the art of woodfire cooking, discerning foodies head to The Birdhouse on Barossa Drive in Minchinbury for a unique and delicious dining experience. Expect a rustic vibe of corrugated iron, timber beams, potted greenery and polished wood floors, setting the scene for enjoying locally sourced ingredients and traditional techniques at this hidden gem in Western Sydney.

 

Enjoy brunch with family and friends while devouring slow-cooked brisket hash, with duck fat potatoes, fried egg and Hollandaise; while sweet tooths opt for pistachio French toast on sweet brioche with white chocolate snow, strawberry and pistachios.

Pomona Village Kitchen on Memorial Avenue in Pomona is a slow-food restaurant supporting sustainably sourced seasonal, locally grown and raised, organic and healthy products, with low mileage and low wastage. Oozing rustic charm, dine alfresco on balmy Sunshine Coast days or head indoors and chill out on the leather Chesterfield couch as you peruse a menu to suit all tastes from breaky to lunch.

 

Refuel and recharge after a morning walk with brunch plates like eggs Benedict on organic sourdough with wilted spinach, egg, karaage chicken and secret recipe Hollandaise sauce; or shakshuka eggs with garlic greens, crispy potato skin, hummus, raita and za’atar.

Steep yourself in the vibrant world of spice, aroma, colour and flavour from Southeast Asia to the Middle East at INDI-KITCH on Melbourne Road in Newport. Find a chilled-out vibe of leather banquette seating, cosy wooden tables and black pendent globes setting the scene for delicious dining from early until evening.

 

Brunch your day away at the weekend with choices such as an omelette with char sui, prawns, carrots, bean shoots, fresh herbs, nuom choc and coconut rice; or fried eggs, bacon, sausage, marsala potatoes and grilled tomato, on sourdough.

Head beyond the rusted gates and giant knife and fork to find hidden Perth gem Two Dogs Laughing on Stack Street. Nestled in an old and rustic warehouse in the heart of the Fremantle Industrial Arts Quarter, this café and catering business welcomes you with flavourful delights and a hint of cheekiness.

 

An eclectic vibe from potted greenery, musical instruments and kitsch furniture awaits as you sip a brew and linger over all-day brunch plates like Benny and the Jets – poached eggs, wilted spinach, kimchi, gochujang Hollandaise and crispy smoked potatoes.

An unforgettable Tasmanian dining experience awaits discerning foodies at Mr Minty’s on Salamanca Place in Battery Point. You’ve never dined like this before in the stylish heart of the new homewares store, surrounded by an eclectic array of Australian art and a curated collection of décor, fashion, jewellery, perfume and gifts.

 

Enjoy a leisurely weekend brunch with family and friends as you devour Spanish baked eggs with warm tortillas, picada and crème fraiche; or chow down on a triple cheese and truffle toastie with pickled pear and wild rocket.
