Best Brunch in Sydney – Darling Harbour

1. Pancakes on the rocks

Price range: $10.95 – $25.95

To start off our best brunch in Sydney, this is a top choice to suit a wide variety of foodies. Of course, they have a delicious and extensive range of pancakes on offer. But it’s also hard to not go for their many great savoury options, with their American-style hash browns. As their slogan says ‘Something for Everyone’ and this really rings true.

The location is excellent too, as it’s located right in the heart of Darling Harbour. Perfect for a walk before or after by the water. Our top picks are the ‘Pancake Egg ‘N’ Hash’- with a side of bacon for around $19. For pancake lovers, it’s hard to go past the ‘Bananarama’ – 2 classic buttermilk pancakes with grilled banana and a delightful homemade butterscotch sauce. Did we mention it’s topped with cream and ice cream? Heaven.

2. Social Brew Cafe

Price range: $6 – $25

A short 15-minute walk from Darling Harbour in Pyrmont is this seriously delicious brunch spot. Their menu is not extensive by any means and it doesn’t need to be, as everything they offer is a standout. The focus for brunch is on savoury choices but for those who prefer a sweeter brunch, their light and fluffy ricotta pancakes with maple marinated strawberries and pistachio butter are mouth-watering.

Our top pick has to be the ‘Loaded Double Double’. This ultimate toastie is on a tasty 5-grain sourdough, with double smoked black forest ham, with two types of cheese, spread with an ale honey mustard and a bechamel sauce. If that’s not enough it’s topped with a perfect fried egg. A really memorable toastie.

3. Blackbird Cafe

Price range: $12 – $25

Brunch with the best view of Darling Harbour? Yes please! This iconic and modern Australian restaurant is found in the Cockle Bay dining precinct. It’s a relaxing location for brunch after a fun night out with friends. Their prices are very reasonable, especially for such a perfect location. A classic bacon and egg roll with your choice of sauce sets you back a bargain $12. Eggs Benedict with avocado, salmon and two poached eggs on sourdough is $20.

Our favourite pick has to be ‘The Full Breakfast’. For $25 you get it all – sausage, bacon, grilled tomato, mushrooms, beans and eggs your preferred way. Oh and it’s served with 2 pieces of sourdough toast. A great choice to refuel after a fun night out in the city.
