Your guide to the best Father’s Day brunch

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.

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…. Read More

The Rusty Rabbit Hops into Concord with creative brunch favourites

Sydney brunchers, hold onto your smashed avo toast because The Rusty Rabbit has landed in Concord, and it’s bringing all the charm, cheek and killer eats that made its Darlinghurst and St Leonards siblings local icons. The newest outpost is a bit of a homecoming for brothers Jamesray and Joshua Khoury, who first opened in Darlinghurst back in 2014. After closing their Burwood location, the pair wanted to return to their Inner West roots, and Concord locals clearly approve. Within days of opening, a whopping 70% of their former Burwood regulars were back at their favourite brunch spot, proving community isn’t just a buzzword here, it’s everything. To celebrate the Concord launch, they teamed up with Son of a Baker for a pastry pop-up every Saturday and Sunday in July. If you miss it, fear not, because they’ve assured us there’s plenty more fun collaborations to come from fashion to food, keeping the space playful, funky and fresh is the aim of the game. How do you describe The Rusty Rabbit vibe? It’s something that extends past the four walls, as it’s able to be captured in all three locations. Think warm industrial interiors, cheeky signage, indoor and outdoor dining spots, and a welcome mat out for kids, prams and pups. All the sibling spots ooze creativity, from the whimsical Rusty Rabbit character (yes, there’s enviable merch!) to the whimsy-led touches that come straight from Jamesray’s background in design. We could talk all day about the place feeling like a home away from home, and… Read More
