The Travellers Guide to Aussie Style Cafes

I love to travel... And I love to eat.

Everything about travelling is incredible; the experiences, throwing yourself out of your comfort zone, the people you meet and the opportunities that present themselves. However, if there’s one thing I missed strongly when overseas… It’s a good coffee and a fricken' avocado that’s smashed on some decent sourdough! Is that really too much to ask for? Well turns out it is. Melbourne is extremely spoilt for choice when it comes to a good brunch. The rest of the world don’t know what they are missing out on! So, it would be no surprise that some of the best cafes around the world are created and owned by Aussies. All I wanted when I was away was a concise list of the top places to eat in the top cities… So, that’s what I’ve created.

Most here are owned by Aussies (with an *) and the others owned by some darn good people, who just know how to make a good feed. Two '**''s means it's a personal fave. :)

This is the first list of many more cities to come. Stay tuned!
