Best Breakfast and Brunch Places in Cockatoo Island

"A firm Sydney lunch favourite since opening, The Grounds of Alexandria has gone from strength to strength. This destination restaurant and café has a paddock-to-plate approach, and will have you munching down on the likes of buttermilk pancakes, Turkish-style eggs and toasted crumpets, or tempting you with the hearty Brekkie Burger served with a side of polenta chips. There is also a bakery churning out all kinds of delicious breads, muffins, cakes and tarts."

"One of the best Italian restaurants in Sydney is offering up a whole heap of their menu highlights for pre-order and pickup, much to the fortune of Potts Point locals, and much to the envy of everyone else. And yes, that includes their mind-blowing pasta scampi, as well as their fried calamari, and even the pretzel with whipped roe from sister restaurant 10 William St. order.hungryhungry.com"

"This sophisticated Italian trattoria on a tranquil Potts Point side street has a simple dark interior with tan leather booths, walnut paneling, and retro lighting. Tables spill out onto the sunny pavement and a blackboard on the wall denotes the specials of the day. The restaurant opens at 7 A.M daily, so kick off with coffee and housemade pastries before moving on to a larger meal."

"Three Blue Ducks Bronte is offering its full breakfast, lunch and dinner menus for takeaway 7 days a week, Saturday and Sunday 7 am-7 pm, Monday to Friday 7 am-3 pm (coffee from 6:30 am). They have also launched new ‘Weekend Feast’ boxes for $75, serving two, which are prepped and ready for pick up from the Bronte cafe to finish at home."

"Born from a mutual love of ethical food and no-frills cooking, Three Blue Ducks is a Bronte staple started by three mates who have expanded their popular menus to Byron Bay and Queensland. With every meal made with ethically sourced ingredients, sustainability never tasted so good..."

"For a wholesome feed that you can feel good about, stop by Marrickville's Cornersmith café. This cosy space is a rustic vision, complete with a menu that changes seasonally and is inspired by fresh produce and waste minimisation. Providing nourishing meals topped with a multitude of unique relishes and pickled vegetables (all made on site), it's no wonder that this humble café has been a hit, even opening a second location in Annandale."

"You’ll find Cornersmith’s original café in Marrickville, but its second branch in Annandale is a more spacious option for a lazy brunch in Sydney’s trendy Inner-West. The menu is constantly changing with the seasons, but a few things never waver: every dish is vegetarian, ingredients are sourced from local small-scale producers, and Cornersmith’s signature pickles and ferments take centre stage."
