1. #1Beans n Co for a weekend brunch with the kids

   Yolo&co serves its brunch from breakfast into lunch, with rice dishes, pasta and burgers. Order the sweet and spicy pork rice or the Yolo spaghetti, which arrives with rocket and shaved parmesan.

3. #3Harris Miller for a slow weekend brunch

   $$Outdoor seating🌳 Union Plaza, 1 min walk

   Harris Miller is built for a slow weekend morning. Go for the chicken katsu sando if you want something savoury, since it is packed with avocado.

Plates arrive large and neatly arranged, visitors say.

   Best for: A slow weekend brunch with coffee

4. #43-Dots Cafe & Mini Mart for homemade breakfast on Saturdays

   $Outdoor seating🌳 Jones Street Pocket Park, 1 min walk

   3-Dots Cafe & Mini Mart cooks much of its food at home, and reviewers name the chicken katsu, the cookies and the banana bread. The hot menu leans Asian-style, so the pan-fried dumplings suit a brunch that is not sweet. The cafe is open on Saturdays from 8:30am to 3pm, which is the only weekend day it opens.

   Best for: Homemade brunch food on a Saturday

5. #5Social Brew Cafe for a long seated brunch

Food comes out fast, so it suits a brunch with a short wait. The iced matcha ube is a creamy, taro-flavoured drink for anyone who wants something sweeter than a long black.
