Top 10 St Kilda Brunch Spots
The morning is possibly the best time of the day to be in St Kilda. The local pups are out for their morning walk while their owners crowd around bakery windows, picking their morning pastry. Another beloved local tradition is catching up over a hearty brunch, and there’s plenty of places to do it, whether you’re partial to pancakes, eggs or an acai bowl. Here are our top ten places to grab a good brekky in St Kilda, in no particular order.
1. Fitzrovia
Many know Fitzrovia for its impressive wine list and dinner dishes, but this Fitzroy Street favourite also boasts a breakfast that oozes the same class. Their menu is made with quality, local ingredients and makes for a difficult choice, but we’ve got our eye on the Persian style baked eggs.
2. Miss Jackson
Filled with personality and simplicity, Miss Jackson is certainly a local favourite. The coffee here is some of the best in the area, and you can always count on the menu to serve you up something new – like the pork belly on top of buttermilk waffles! See more here…

The Galleon. Yet another St Kilda institution. Sporting a colourful and communal atmosphere, The Galleon know how to do Brunch (and GREAT coffee)! We won’t spoil the surprise… try it out for yourself! See more here…
4. Il Fornaio
Il Fornaio is a little vintage, a little retro, with a whole lot of sass. Doubling as a bakery, you certainly can’t go past the toast menu as you relax on the front deck. These guys aren’t afraid of the avo, and pair it beautifully with snow peas in menu favourite, ‘The Avo-cuddle’. See more here…
