    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. :]

  3. 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.

    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

    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.
