Shame. The restaurant scene down under is truly abysmal.
MEL had more than I could manage to sample, including a few on Uber eats that were within range of the CBD
I've even had some make me meals during lunch to take on the plane.
SYD, fewer yet good portions and quality. True, nothing in the city, the closest is "The sweet chick" in Surry hills that has some sandwiches, cakes and coffee.
But Bagel Co opens early, grab a sandwich/salad, take the Rose Bay ferry to Circular quay and enjoy your day - added bonus: view from the ferry of the harbour bridge and opera house
