Is this the best breakfast in Brisbane?

They call it sweet avocado on toast, and it combines avocado with strawberries, organic feta, toasted pistachios and local honey.  

Try it and see.

I’m sure you’ll be back for more of this delicious dish at Plum Tucker.

2- Shouk Café, Paddington

At Shouk Café, it’s just too hard to choose between the lightly sweetened honey and cardamom pannacotta with smashed baklava and pistachio Persian fairy floss and the tall Polish potato pancake stack with cream cheese, dill, pickled red onions, two poached eggs and your choice of smoked salmon, bacon, avocado or halloumi.

Billy Kart Kitchen dishes up a lovely Brisbane breakfast.

How about a smoked pork hash with avocado, tahini, yoghurt, green harissa and a couple of poached eggs?

Billy Kart Kitchen is set in a refurbished corner shop in a lovely tree-lined street.

The eatery is the brainchild of Celebrity Chef Ben O’Donoghue and his wife Dee, who have successfully managed to capture the essence of an old-fashioned local store with this 80-seater eatery.

If you like beer, here’s a list of Brisbane craft beer bars that serve up decent food too.
