The Almighty Melbourne Brunch

Recently I've had a lot of people ask me, "Where do you go for brunch, the food always looks so yummy", "What are you favourite brunch/café's to eat at in Melbourne", etc.
So I thought I'd make a compilation of the Instagram snaps I've taken at all the café's I've been to in the past year !

Well there ya have it ! The infamous Melbourne brunch. I usually just Urbanspoon suburbs and go to the ones most top rated and checkout the users photo's of the foods (I usually order the one with the most photos or looks really pretty - intelligent, I know).

Or I'll stalk the café's tag or location on Instagram and see other people's photos LOL so I know what to order (I'm a horrible food-orderer and always tend to have buyer's remorse HAHA. A full menu is just so intense yknow !?)

Let me know what your fave Melbourne brunch is !
