I know you might not want to try the gluten free options, but it would be great if you could mention in your future reviews whether or not there are gluten free options on the menu.
Thankyou!
it would be super too - if you kept your Melbourniocoolio flavour but put a little thing in for the rest of us who live in lame parts of this country - like Sydney. Like - if you decided to do a "best shallow town breakfast award" - or something. That way I'd have some clue about what the great breakfast bloggers thought was worth while in my stinky town. :]

Well, Melissa, I really need more tips about places to try in Sydney, so I can (a) try them, and (b) decide which are best. I tried a couple of good places in Sydney in 2006, namely Three Eggs in Bondi, and Fifi Foveaux's in Surry Hills. And Bills.
One place I am keen to try, if only for the name, is Strangers with Candy, which is supposed to be good (but only on weekends).
Sydney tips warmly welcomed.

Good site, I breakfast Saturday and Sunday all around Melbourne and the Yarra Valley. She who must be obeyed has filled two notebooks rating various venues.
Great Blog!!! You should try a place called La Cafe on Nelson - 28 Nelson St, Balaclava, Vic
Hi Jamie
Love your blog. I'll be sure to try some of your top 20 when I'm in Melbourne at Easter.
Here's one for your next trip to Sydney: Luigi's in Glenayr Ave, Bondi.
They do great ricotta hotcakes with yoghurt and berries and a delicous scrambled eggs with tomato, ham and basil.
Another excellent choice is Una's in Victoria Street, Darlinghurst. It serves breakfast Austrian-style: eggs, bacon and potato roesti. Great cure for a hangover.
Went to Danks St Depot in Waterloo for breakfast last Sunday and had an unusual, more-ish... and expensive, poached eggs on bacon hash concoction.
Keep up the good work
Charles
you sir, are amazing.
I'd love to know where the best fluffy hotcakes with berries can be found in either sydney or melbourne. Bills are good but as i'm not a big fan of banana they're not quite what i'm looking for.
The best Hotcakes are at apte. They are awesome and were recently featured as the top 5 breakfast dishes in the Age A2 book. Check them out. You wont be sorry!
