Brunch with a View: Five Scenic Brunch Spots in Sydney You Can’t Miss

Located in Sydney's Lower North Shore, Bather’s Pavilion overlooks Middle Harbour at Balmoral Beach. While the restaurant focuses on fine dining, the adjoining Bistro has a more relaxed atmosphere, and that’s where you can indulge in a coastal-style brunch while enjoying the panoramic seaside vista. Whether you’re craving sweet pancakes with fresh fruit or the classic ‘eggs your way’, the menu has something for everyone.

Sydney’s harbour views are hard to beat, and at Sails on Lavender Bay, you can savour a delicious meal with stunning sights of the Harbour Bridge and Opera House. This North Shore retreat offers a modern Australian menu, celebrating the coastal flavours of Sydney and focusing on simple, fresh seafood dishes.

One of the most popular weekend destinations in Sydney, The Grounds of Alexandria has it all—a cafe, artisan bakery, bar and BBQ, weekend markets, and even a small animal farm, which makes it the perfect spot for brunch with the kids. On Saturdays, indulge in a set menu at The Coffee Factory featuring freshly baked pastries, your choice of a main dish, and tea, coffee, or juice. Fancy endless refills? Enjoy optional bottomless drinks to keep the party going.

With its tropical wallpaper, jungle murals and cane and rattan furniture, The Butler has become one of the most popular spots in Sydney. The Mexican seafood restaurant hosts regular brunch events with different themes – and the spectacular city views are the perfect pairing for your meal. There’s also the Butler long lunch, a 2-hour lunch feast with free-flowing bubbles, wine, beer and soft drinks.
