Those seeking classic café fare and quirky brunch offerings head down Lygon Street in the heart of Brunswick to discover El Mirage. Chill out alfresco under striped market umbrellas next to the vibrant wall mural, or head indoors to find a cosy ambience of polished wood, mosaic tiles, banquette and table settings, ideal for lingering over a delicious brunch. Stop in early for scrambled eggs with chilli sauce, feta, crispy shallots, red chilli and herbs, on sourdough toast; join a lively buzz of later conversation while devouring a pastrami bagel with caramelised onions, pickles, cos lettuce, Swiss cheese and Russian dressing. Carnivores opt for a Scotch fillet sanga with roasted pepper, caramelised onion, pickled red onion, rocket, Swiss cheese, pickles and Kewpie dill mayo.
