The best eggs we have ever eaten..... yummy coffee delectable juice and smiling friendly helpful staff....what else can you ask for in breakfast.... next time we are in Sydney we will be back
What a great find! The breakfast menu is out of order crazy good. The staff were all so attentive and friendly. I loved sitting out in the courtyard people watching. Will def be back.
Went here with 7 other friends and they were very hospitable and kind! The coffee was great and the all day breakfasts was absolutely perfect! Very pleased!

Though this place well known for their variety of breakfast menu, we landed up there for lunch 🥗 The food is delectable and service is good. The food portion is quiet huge and they do suggest you on the portion of the food you order and which will help you to place the order. I ordered fish and chips and which was delicious 😋 and filling. Their drink 🥤 menu also good and really refreshing . I will definitely visit this place again in my next visit to Sydney 😊
Decent cafe in the heart of Café central in Sydney. Wait staff were friendly and made the experience a nice one. Food proportion was good and reasonably prices as well. Would definitely venture back for brunch.
Very cute cafe with lovely staff and good prices. My eggs were poached perfectly however a friends were slightly over done. Absolutely love the brioche bread on the benedict (could have been toasted a little more). Fresh salmon, and a good size however it was the hollandaise that was a bit of a let down. It was very very runny and was completely absorbed by the brioche. It also lacked that tartness. I love that they make freshly squeezed juice and the coffee was also great. Good fries and friends were a fan of the sandwiches and breakfast burritos.
Lumiere is a large and spacious cafe in on Bourke Street in Surry Hills with an extensive brunch menu and generous portions. We have been here a couple of times with friends and will share our experience on both occasions. The first time we ordered five dishes to share. The three savoury dishes were the roast pumpkin and baby beetroot salad with grilled haloumi, crumbed feta, roasted almonds, sesame seeds mixed greens and a yoghurt tahini dressing, the scrambled eggs with tomato and avocado on sourdough bread, and the eggs benedict with poached eggs, ham and hollandaise sauce. They were all classic brunch dishes done well, the salad was filling and delicious, while the eggs benedict and scrambled eggs were both cooked well and full of flavour.
Lumiere has been around for years and outlasted numerous cafes and businesses in the struggling St Margaret's complex. A quirk of the Sydney market. The place has never really appealed to me because it comes across as just another generic cafe, however I did enjoy the hot cakes. Prices are hefty with many dishes around $20. Food was good, service was very friendly, coffee was okay. Nice outdoor area with shade.
My family and I came here for brunch as it was a cafe I wanted to try that was opened on a public holiday. As the weather was a bit windy and we had kids in tow, we waited about 10mins for a table inside.
As the cafe was so busy, it took some time for someone to take our order. Many dishes were ordered but my BIL & I had their corn stack with poached eggs, bacon, avo & homemade tomato relish served on sourdough toast which was pretty generous in size and tasty. My hubbie and MIL had their brekkie burger which they found also found okay. Spaghettini was ordered for one of the kids as well as eggs and toast for my son.
With their drinks, we tried their iced chocolate but found it was too much ice and not enough choc in flavour. The highlight being their berry smoothie. My husband had their Summer sunrise but he preferred the berry smoothie.
Overall, generous portions and good food. There is a 10% surcharge for public holidays though.
Amazing! Discovered by proxy because I walked to a venue nearby. But this is a hidden gem. The signature toastie stack and French toast with banana and bacon were an amazing start to the day!
Great location and a great menu with lots of options. First time here for breakfast. Ordered my usual of scrambled eggs and bacon. Eggs done beautifully and bacon cooked perfectly. Bread was beautiful. My friends opted for a variety of dishes; all of which were great. Coffee was good but not wow. Only downside is the service which was quite inconsistent. Had to go and grab our own menus, ask to be served and ask for water.
Great vibe, great food and fantastic service. Had an awesome breakfast at lumiere on the weekend and will definitely be back when next in Sydney. The one thing that stood out the most was the service, everyone was so happy and friendly. I had the special breakfast which was hummus and pumpkin on toast with poached eggs and dukkah. Loved it! So tasty and light, great for my hangover :) my friend had the Gruyere, bacon and pumpkin on toast and that was also very tasty and very generous with the bacon. I only have one small complaint, I had the green and lean fresh juice and all I could taste was celery, none of the other ingredients.
I have been to so many cafes in my travels..and I am one of THOSE people who likes things just 'SO'... as for this cafe I can honestly say... WOW... WOW.... WOW.. the meals are just the right size leaving you fulfilled and the amazing thought out flavour combinations are just mind blowing eg.. rose water shots with a breakfast dish... WHAT!!!!! The bar has been set for quality and quantity at this very clean and tidy cafe.. with a very inclusive multicultural atmosphere the cafe really is my pic of Sydney's cafes...stop in and say hello you will love it..
( I am no way associated with this cafe except for loving the place) pics provided is my meal...
Had a wonderful brunch on Sunday afternoon here, highly recommended.
The cafe was very busy when we arrived however was greeted promptly by a lovely blonde guy who got us a table right away.
Took our complicated coffee order and juices by memory and came out promptly and correct I was impressed. He also informed us there was a 30min wait on food which was fantastic to know. A few minutes after receiving our drinks he returned to take our food orders and was very informative about the menu, and was able to cater for my dietary needs, food came out in about 25minutes and tasted amazing A+++ to the chef.
After finishing we went to the counter to pay and was very happy to be-able to split our bill. Multiply staff thanked us for coming as well left. Definitely will go back
My partner and I are locals and we regularly go to Lumiere for their delicious breakfasts and lunches. Not only is the location amazing, with lots of sunshine and (dog friendly) outdoor seating, but the personal service from the friendly young staff keeps us coming back. If you are in the area we would thoroughly recommend you stop in for a meal or just a quality coffee and one of Effie’s homemade cakes! It’s Mardi Gras now and there are fun events going on at Lumiere so keep an eye on their Facebook page. G&A
Always a favourite! The team pride themselves on exceptional service and take their menu very seriously. The service is fantastic, and meals freshly prepared. Very popular with locals particularly on weekends, so recommend booking for a table! Meals always make any wait worth it in peak times
Amazing quality brunch and coffee. I had the greek eggs and loved loved loved it. Space and staff are welcoming. Relaxed local vibe, despite how popular this place is. nice to see this long-term Surry favourite is still going strong and quality is 2 thumbs up.
Came in for a coffee. Asked if they did egg n bacon rolls by chance.
They said theirs was famous so i gave it a go. Every bite was like spot on.
Very happy to return. And get 2 next time.. Milk shake coffee cups should be mandatory. But very satisfied with the quality latte offered
One of the best coffees in Sydney, in a bright and inviting space, with a fantastic menu. The truffle scrambled eggs and chorizo were cooked perfectly and the burger was delicious. The fresh juices are a must try as well.
