For a nation that likes a drink, we don't do a lot of it before midday. That’s changing – slowly. Many Melbourne cafes now offer a handful of beers, wines and breakfast cocktails alongside the usual coffee, tea and juice.

The next step – bottomless boozy brunch packages – is yet to really catch on the way it has in places such as Berlin and New York. That's okay. At these spots you can have plenty of fun regardless, with the help of Mimosas, Bellinis, Bloody Marys and other brunch classics.
