“As an American, I’ve had my fair share of epic brunches in foodie cities like New York and New Orleans,” says The Points Guy, “but brunch in Melbourne is an entirely different experience.” That’s because the city “places serious importance on the quality of its brunch fare, with cafés drawing cult followings for staples like avocado on toast and açai bowls topped with caramelized buckinis (buckwheat) and edible flowers.” He specifically notes South Melbourne’s The Kettle Black (“set in an old Victorian terrace house”) and South Yarra’s SOS Cafe (“with its Instagram-favorite tiramisu pancakes — and Sensory Lab brew”).
