Cafe Giulia

A popular choice with Chippendale's hipster set, this former butcher's shop is an ideal spot to catch up over a quick latte or settle in for a leisurely breakfast in the sunny courtyard. The huge 60-plus item blackboard menu is somewhat overwhelming. But once you've chosen, just sit back and enjoy the atmosphere. Portions are extremely generous, with the breakfast special of corn fritters, baby spinach, bacon, poached eggs and hollandaise stacked up like the Leaning Tower of Pisa. The pancake stack, served with a range of toppings, is guaranteed to defeat all but the hungriest punter.
