1. #1Bayt Youssef for a long Lebanese brunch

   $$🐕 Dogs outsideOutdoor seating🌳 Federation Place, 3 min walk

   Bayt Youssef is the pick for a slow brunch. The shakshuka arrives in a cast-iron pan with zaatar toast and sliced sausage on the side. The fig-topped pancakes come with a small glass of syrup, and the chicken shawarma wrap suits a bigger appetite. The kitchen brings the food and coffee out quickly, which matters on a busy weekend. The kitchen's weekend window is 7:30am to 2pm, with footpath seating out front.

2. #2Little West for benny rolls and a burger at the late end of breakfast

   $$🐕 Dogs outsideOutdoor seating🌳 Richard Murden Reserve, 6 min walk

   Little West covers brunch from smashed avocado through to a burger, which makes it useful for a group where not everyone wants the same thing. The benny rolls and beans with poached eggs are the classic brunch orders. The salmon and egg burger and the fritter burger take over once the breakfast rush eases. On Saturdays and Sundays it opens at 7am and shuts at 2pm, with tables out front. Expect waits on busy weekend mornings.

3. #3Garnish Fine Foods for eggs Benedict and the mushroom tartine

   Garnish Fine Foods is the sit-down brunch for people who want a plate with some weight. The eggs Benedict and the smashed avo with shaved parmesan are the orders to start with, and the mushroom tartine is the one to try next. The avocado toast comes with poached eggs, rocket and balsamic drizzle. Saturday hours run from 7am to 3pm and Sunday from 7:30am to 3pm. The back courtyard is a good spot for a dog and a family brunch.

   Hungry Grasshopper Café is the earliest sit-down brunch on this list for Sundays, opening at 8am and closing at 2:30pm. The poached eggs with mushrooms and spinach are the brunch order here, and the Waratah burger is the lunch-side pick. Bacon and egg rolls and tacos with black beans and avocado also appear on the menu. A kids' menu and vegetarian options suit a mixed group, and the room is calm enough to linger over a second coffee.

5. #5Bad Medicine Espresso for a breakfast wrap and an early Saturday

   $🐕 Dogs outsideOutdoor seating🌳 Federation Place, 2 min walk

   Bad Medicine Espresso suits anyone up at dawn: Saturdays open at 6:30am and close at 2pm. Order the breakfast wrap or the bacon and egg roll, and the breakfast burrito if you are hungry. Avocado on sourdough with scrambled eggs is the sit-down choice. It is shut on Sundays, so plan a Saturday visit. The footpath tables suit a slow coffee after the wrap.
