Breakfast is the most important meal of the day! In Brisbane you will find a fantastic range of breakfast options across the numerous trendy cafes, hip bistros and luxury hotels within the city. Here are some of the best of them. All of which will set you up nicely for the day ahead.
Petrichor & Co
Ever had a Latin American style breakfast? Well that is exactly what you can have at Petrichor.
Inspired by the mouthwatering flavours of Latin America and in particular Colombia, these guys offer ‘Food made with love’.
We’re talking classics like huevos rancheros and arepas stuffed with pulled pork that will really make your heart sing!
If that is a little too adventurous for your tastebuds so early in the morning, their avo smash on sourdough or spiced pumpkin pancakes are sure to be a hit.
Those with a sweet tooth will love their artisanal cakes. All of which are all baked on the premises.

At the weekends there are often long queues to get in. But that can only mean one thing. The food they offer is amazing!
