Best breakfast and brunch in Townsville

Townsville's breakfast scene rewards the early riser with dry-season morning conditions that make outdoor dining on The Strand and inner-city cafe terraces among the most pleasant in Australia between May and October.

A Touch of Salt — the long-standing Townsville breakfast institution provides the house-made baked goods, the creative egg dishes, and the reliable coffee that has sustained its reputation as the most consistently excellent dedicated breakfast venue in the city.

The Strand foreshore cafes — the string of cafes along The Strand foreshore provide the ocean-view breakfast that combines the Coral Sea outlook with the morning walker and cyclist community that makes The Strand the most socially active morning environment in Townsville during the dry season.

Jam Corner weekend brunch — the specialty cafe's weekend brunch menu extends the daily coffee programme into smashed avocado, house-cured salmon, and brunch cocktails that create the late-morning social experience the inner-city professional population uses as the week's weekend highlight.

The Kitchen at The Ville — the resort breakfast at The Ville provides the most extensive breakfast menu in Townsville, with the cooked options, the cold buffet, and the harbour view appropriate for the special occasion morning meal when the neighbourhood cafe format is insufficient for the occasion.
