Good old fashioned English breakfast fry up in Melbourne CBD - help needed
I've foolishly promised to take some colleagues out for a fry up on Monday morning but not sure of a good place in Melbourne's CBD that will provide substantial quantities of bacon, eggs, sausages, beans, hash browns, sauce and tea. All suggestions gratefully received.
Cheers,
Col

You could try the Food Court in the Southgate Precinct on Southbank, they have all different types of food in there.
With a Google search I found this article too:-

Someone mentioned Southgate food court, but it ain't great for fry-up's. You can get pretty much anything else
I haven't been there, but what about the British pubs, like the Elephant and Wheelbarrow on the corner of Bourke and errr, maybe Exhibition?

Do you mean Brick Lane?? The one with Pug Mahones on it? Never had a greasy english style breakfast in any of those places, but they all do breakfasts, and some of them are nice.

Thanks to all - just heading off now for, hopefully, a massive fry up. Will report back.
