First-ever Melbourne Brunch Festival is here and it’s perfect for those who love leisurely meals

Eleven handpicked restaurants have come together to showcase the best of Victorian produce through luxurious brunch menus at the first-ever Melbourne Brunch Festival in Singapore.

The month-long event will take place from 1 July to 31 July and is presented by Global Victoria and Agriculture Victoria.

Those who have visited Melbourne, Victoria’s capital, will know that cafe culture is huge in the city and locals often enjoy brunch meals that come with invigorating coffee and hearty and delectable comfort food – mostly locally sourced.

Some of Victoria’s produce that are often featured in these meals include pome fruit, stone fruit, berries, citrus and nuts. As Australia’s largest dairy producing and exporting state, milk, cheeses and yoghurt are also featured heavily in brunch.

Besides these, the region is also a huge producer of premium beef, mushrooms, asparagus and broccoli.
