CHAMPIONS OF BREAKFAST

Step into a café in Australia and you’ll find such modern mash-ups as Bolognese on brioche – take a fork to the new wave of breakfast classics.

Australians are breakfast pros. Not content to stick to our comfort zone even before noon, we go well beyond the standards. Step into a café here and you’ll find modern mash-ups such as baked bean panzerotti and Bolognese on brioche. We put the smashed avocado aside (mostly) and take a fork to the new wave of breakfast classics.
