Melbourne, VIC
Harry currently ranks 10 brunch spots in Melbourne, scoring 84–87 on the Harry Score.
Harry is professionally sceptical of brunch. The waiting list is too long, the Bloody Marys are too expensive, and the eggs Benedict are too often on a muffin from a bag. What survives — when it works — is one of the great informal meals. He scores harder here because with stakes this low, getting it wrong is unforgivable.
