What a hamburger from the morning
When I visited Melbourne the other day, I tried to experience "breakfast at a local cafe" while rubbing my sleepy eyes.
◆ Cargo Restaurant bar
I was staying at a hotel in Docklands, but it was a fateful encounter that I happened to visit a nearby cafe, Cargo Restaurant bar, because the restaurant inside the hotel was under renovation.
Fashionable cafe overlooking the wharf
Even though it was around 7 o'clock in the morning, some customers were already enjoying breakfast in the store. By the way, there is a wharf just outside the shop, and you can see people jogging along the harbor while bathing in the morning sun. … Melbourne, the fulfillment of morning activities is not odd !!

◆ Abundant breakfast menu
Cargo has 10 breakfast menus. From a simple toast set with jam and butter to a full breakfast plate with eggs, bacon and mushrooms.
In addition, there is a beer lineup right next to the breakfast menu. I wonder if "beer from the morning" is Aussie style ...
The breakfast menu is sloppy. Beer is lined up next to it
◆ Anyway, all big "Aussie size"
This time I ordered "break-the-fast". You can imagine the volume from the price of 16 dollars (about 1,500 yen). It is a menu with 2 toasts, eggs that will be baked in your favorite style (I ordered a fried egg), bacon, chorizo, mushrooms, and hashed potatoes.
Awaken, my stomach ...!
Bacon is cut thicker than it is eaten in Japan and baked crispy and fragrant. Meat juice that overflows as you chew. I see, this is bacon that captivates Westerners!
And here, mushrooms are often eaten in Australia. It's thick and crispy, and it's delicious enough to be delicious without adding anything.
Reference image, a huge mushroom found in the market. There is also such a huge one.
Chorizo has a sharp taste with a strong spiciness and saltiness. I wake up sharply. It's a strong seasoning, so it's a good idea to sprinkle it with toast or hashed potatoes.
Spicy chorizo that becomes a habit
In addition to this, a huge hamburger that looks like a child's face, scrambled eggs that are so thick that you can not see the toast, a cereal plate that is topped with yogurt with a lot of fruit on granola, etc. are all comfortable. It ’s so exciting!

I can't see it, but there's a toast underneath the scrambled eggs
After all the cereal menu is huge
However, it is worth mentioning that the large size does not mean that it has a great taste. While making the best use of the taste of the ingredients, the seasoning with a bit of accent is suitable for the Japanese tongue. Overall, the seasoning was a bit strong, so I wanted to drink beer from the morning. … Huh, that's it!
Then, be patient with your words ...
◆ The hotel I stayed at this time
This time I was staying at one of the hotels operated by the Accor Group, "Siebel Melbourne Docklands". Cargo, where we had breakfast, is about a 5-minute walk away.
All rooms in the hotel have a kitchen, and you can buy ingredients at supermarkets and convenience stores and cook them yourself, so you can save on travel expenses. It looks like it would be fun to stay with a family or group!

Convenient with kitchen
By the way, the hotel also has a completely private heated pool, spa / sauna, and a gym where you can do yoga. There is also a conference room for business visitors.
It is currently is in renovation, that of a restaurant in the hotel is completed in the prospect of the end of the year. After completion, you will be able to have breakfast in the hotel, but until then, you may want to take a short walk along the pier in the morning light and enjoy an Aussie-style breakfast at Cargo.
