FROM delicious bowls to scrumptious eggs Benedict, Brisbane cafes do some epic breakfasts.

But who does it best?

We’re on the hunt to crown the city’s best brekkie.

Nominate your favourite in the comments below.

We will compile a shortlist of finalists to put to the vote from Monday March 25 and reveal Brisbane’s top 10 breakfasts, as voted by locals, on Thursday April 4 at couriermail.com.au.

To get you started, here’s three of our favourites:

FREJA’S

3/1 MacGregor St, Wilston

Run by Danish former semi-pro tennis player Freja Rasmussen and her chef partner Nathan Dunnell (ex-Stokehouse Q and Bar Alto), Freja’s is a Scandi-style eatery with a city-inspired sophistication.

Dunnell’s fine-dining background kicks the food up a level, with cheffy touches like crumbles, dusts, whips and top-notch plating.

It makes for a menu that appeals to the conservative bacon and egg traditionalists, but also excites the foodie, with dishes such as a beef brisket and mac n cheese croissant.

THE JAM PANTRY

2/575 Logan Rd Greenslopes

Run by chef Naomi Zavackas, AKA Nims, the cute cottage with its floral wallpaper, timber floorboards and modern country charm is all about innovation and creativity.

While traditionalists can still enjoy eggs on toast or basic smashed avo, it’s her “flip boards” that are the true star.

Each month Zavackas offers 12 specials, all created to make the most of what’s in season then and there.

With much of her produce coming from local farmers through Food Connect, she lets the ingredients do the talking, inspiring dishes such as chai-spiced pancakes with guava, nectarine and pistachio, or turmeric and garlic omelette with roasted green capsicum and cottage cheese.

SOURCED GROCER

11 Florence St, Newstead

Sourced Grocer has become a Brisbane institution, and its house-made rye crumpets served with fresh honeycomb and whipped butter are the stuff of legend.

The menu is all about harnessing fresh produce to deliver intelligent flavour pairings that are just a little out of the ordinary.

Take the cabbage pancake – a twist on Japanese okinomiyaki with sweet cabbage met by charry broccoli, a soft poached egg and lashings of grated salty and sour goat’s cheese.

It is not about big, over-the-top breakfasts, but delicate, refined cooking with plating and portion sizes to match.
