This Father’s Day, ditch the boring brekkie and treat your dad to a brunch that’s as bold and brilliant as he reckons he is. We’re talking a spread that’s hearty, flavour-packed, and not too ‘fancy’ for the bloke who wouldn’t know a Dubai Chocolate bar if it danced naked in front of him. Here’s a cracking list of brunch eats, from going out to staying in, to make Dad’s day a proper feast.
At Home Bagel Boxes
Straight outta Sydney’s Marrickville, Brooklyn Boy Bagels are the real deal. These chewy, malty, New York-style bagels will have Dad grinning like he’s just nailed a DIY project. Their Bagel Boxes are a no-brainer for a Father’s Day brunch in bed. The Brunch Box ($65) is a crowd-pleaser, loaded with 2 Everything, 2 Sesame, 2 Plain, and 2 Blueberry bagels, plus Whipped, Strawberry, and Lox Cream Cheese (200g each). It’s built for eight, so Dad can share (or not). Order from brooklynboybagels.com.au for delivery across Sydney or NSW, and let Dad schmear his way to happiness.
A classic Bacon and Egg Roll
No Father’s Day is complete without a classic Aussie brekkie roll. Grab some top-notch bacon, fry it till it’s crispy, and chuck in a sunny-side-up egg on a soft milk bun. Slather on some BBQ sauce for that tangy kick Dad loves. Add a slice of cheddar and a handful of rocket for a bit of flair. Prefer to dine out and let someone else clean up? We love the Breaky Burger from The Rusty Rabbit.
Smashed Avo fit for a king
As much of a ‘trend’ as Dad is willing to try, give him a levelled up avo toast by dining out. It’s not hard to find a fancy smashed avo in Sydney, Melbourne or Brisbane, but if you need a rec we’re loving Cafe Levant in Greenacre, Sydney for a truly delicious avo moment. Jokes on dad too, because the menu is full of viral style food like strawberry matcha pancakes.
DIY Picnic
For the active dad, why not make a brunch an activity! Amazing Co offers mystery picnics which are perfect for families. They host in heaps of locations which you can check out here. Grab a bottle of bubbly (sparkling wine from Tassie works a treat) and some fresh OJ to bring along for DIY mimosas too so you can cheers to the legend.
