The best brunch restaurants in Melbourne
Melbourne takes brunch seriously. From laneway cafés pulling some of Australia’s finest specialty coffee to sprawling nursery restaurants on the city’s western fringe, the best brunch in Melbourne is an endlessly varied, genuinely world-class affair. Whether it’s a Japanese-inspired spread in the CBD, a bottomless brunch fuelled by gin tonics and sangria, an all-day Italian in South Yarra overlooking the Royal Botanic Gardens, or a pot-to-plate feast tucked inside a Werribee plant nursery, Melbourne’s best brunch restaurants span cuisines, neighbourhoods, and occasions with remarkable range and quality. The weekend brunch culture here is embedded in the city’s identity — a ritual as central to Melbourne life as the footy, the laneways, and the flat white. Book your table at one of the best brunch restaurants in Melbourne instantly on OpenTable.
