Our Picks:
The Big General — Go hungry for this one — a proper loaded breakfast with potato hash, bacon, bratwurst, mushrooms, tomato and eggs.
The General Smash Burger — If you're after something more indulgent, this is the one to try.
Coffee + cabinet treat — Sometimes you just want a good coffee and something sweet or savoury from the cabinet. Perfect for a quick stop before heading to the beach.
✦ GEM TRAILS TIP
It can get busy around brunch time, especially on weekends. If you want a quieter experience, go earlier or grab a takeaway coffee and explore the Mount afterwards.
