Brunch.
It’s that magical time between breakfast and lunch where all rules go out the window. It might just be our favourite meal of the day. Scratch that. We can confirm it definitely is.
Whether you’re craving a classic eggs-on-toast, an indulgent stack of waffles, or something a little left-of-centre (fried chicken and a mimosa, anyone?), Adelaide’s brunch scene has something for everyone.
We know choosing where to go can be overwhelming, so we’ve done the hard work for you. Here are ten of the best brunch spots in Adelaide that deserve a place on your must-visit list.
1. COMMISSARY.
Who knew breakfast could be so damn photogenic? Commissary serves up some of the most aesthetically pleasing dishes in town. Their salmon breakfast with poached eggs, whipped ricotta and capers on a rustic continental loaf does not mess around. It perfectly compliments the mimosa that should be in hand while enjoying yourself!

If you love a long brunch, Bloom is a must-visit. It starts with a peach Bellini and end with the halloumi, honey and pine nuts that are a staple whenever dining at bloom.
