Full marks to Wine Garage for putting on one of the few organic and planet-friendly weekend breakfasts in town. Of course, this means the prices are a little heftier (including a $19 fruit platter with rosemary- infused honey and yoghurt), but the quality of the ingredients is beyond reproach. Plus, there’s no price tag on how virtuous you’ll feel as you savour poached organic eggs ($20.90), swirled through with torn chunks of fennel sausages and wilted spinach. Especially good are the buttermilk pancakes ($19.80) topped with blueberry compote and tart kumquat butter, and the poached egg over polenta ($19). The kids have their own special menu, including egg with hash browns ($8) and French toast with mango ($9).
