The majority of tourists come to Sydney for the a glimpse of the bridge and the Opera House. Whilst you are here, you really should relax and watch the world go by in one of our delightful cafes.
It's a Sydney tradition to spend your Saturday or Sunday morning in a cafe reading the local paper with an extremely good coffee and a late breakfast.
There are lots of great cafes where you can enjoy a good breakfast. The best place for something a little different is Kazbah at 308 Darling Street in the suburb of Balmain. You can catch the ferry over to Balmain East from Circular Quay. It really is worth the walk (or bus ride) up the hill.
This is breakfast with a difference. You can still order the usual breakfast items but I urge you to try something a little different in this middle Eastern cafe. The Breakfast tagine is a favourite but if you can get a group of 8 of you together then go for the degustation menu. Not only is it a total bargain at just $20 per head, the food is amazing and just keeps coming. You won't be able to eat for the whole day. Don't forget to book well in advance for this treat.
If breakfast with a view is more your thing then there are plenty to choose from. A classic and an old favourite is Bathers Pavillion. It is a little on the expensive side with dishes starting at $20, but the views and proximity to the water make it worth the extra dollars.
Another great option is Bronte Beach. This is just a little further on from Bondi Beach and has a lovely strip of cafes with a view of the ocean. Getting here is relatively easy too as the 378 bus will bring you directly to Bronte beach. From here you can take the amazing coastal walk to Bondi and walk off your sumptuous breakfast.
Bill Granger, the famous Australian chef has 3 cafes/restaurants in Sydney and going to one of these for brunch is a great option. His scrambled eggs are legendary throughout Sydney. There are three restaurants in Darlinghurst, Woollahra and Surry Hills.
It's hard to find a cafe in Sydney that doesn't do great coffee. Whilst some may look no more than a small hole in the wall, these are often the best places to get a great cup of coffee. It is such a part of the culture here that many locals attend coffee courses. For $150 you can learn everything you need to know about coffee, the espresso machine and how to texturise the milk.
So whilst there are lots of sites to see in the fabulous city of Sydney, make sure you find the time to relax and unwind in one of its laid back cafes.
