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

   Bayt Youssef is the pick for food. Its Lebanese menu stands out on Ramsay Street, and the shakshuka in a cast-iron pan with zaatar toast is worth ordering alongside the chicken shawarma wrap.

It opens at 7:30am on weekends, and dogs can sit at the footpath tables.

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

   Little West is the pick for coffee drinkers who want a takeaway stop. The salmon and egg burger and the fritter burger are the orders most people mention, and the iced matcha suits anyone after something other than espresso. Staff help larger groups find seats. It opens at 7am every day, and busy weekend mornings and public holidays bring longer waits, so arrive early.

3. #3Garnish Fine Foods for a sit-down brunch and lunch

It opens at 7am on weekdays and 8am on Sundays, and closes at 2:30pm.

5. #5Seven Eight Espresso for an affogato and a steak sandwich
