With a recently-launched breakfast menu, this sleek New York-style Osteria now opens at 7.30am to cater to early bird business meetings and hungry local residents. Posto prides itself on serving omelettes with eggs laid by happy harmonious hens, which are large in size and rich in colour and taste, and packed with mushrooms, spinach and provolone. Other eggy specials include Eggs Benedict and two eggs served any style served atop a brioche with arugula and baked tomato.

A modern take on a European brasserie with large chalkboards displaying the menus, the Press Room is a firm favourite with expatriates and locals alike for long brunch dates due to its relaxed atmosphere and friendly service. Omelettes are served with a choice of bacon, ham, cheese, spring onions, peppers and herbs, and a Graffeo coffee or fresh orange juice makes the perfect accompaniment.

Those who adore a French influence in their omelette should pull up a chair at Classified, a specialist cheese store and restaurant and renowned breakfast stop where fluffy yellow omelettes are paired with ham and gruyere. Watching your waistline? Then opt for the half-pink grapefruit or bircher muesli with grated apples, yogurt and milk.

This spacious all-day dining destination has become a reliable option for breakfast since opening late last year, and is a go-to for many Soho residents looking to line their stomachs before heading to the office. Order up the Creamy Four Egg Omelette and lend some luxury to your morning by selecting an upscale filling such as smoked salmon or asparagus. Breakfast sides include hash browns, home-fried potatoes and buttered baby spinach if you want to go large.

Coast offers great people-watching opportunities from its location opposite the Mid-Levels escalator and the Australian-run restaurant/bar has a reputation for delivering great seafood. The breakfast options are similarly impressive, and the four-egg omelettes come with complementary toast on the side. Choose from Spicy (pepperoni, peppers, Spanish onion), Vegetarian (baby spinach, mushrooms, peppers and sweetcorn) or good ol’ Traditional (ham or smoked salmon, tomato, Spanish onion), all of which are topped off with cheese.
