The Top 50 Brunch and Lunch Restaurants in Australia 2024 Methodology *

OpenTable’s Top 50 Brunch and Lunch Restaurants in Australia for 2024 is generated from over 400,000 verified OpenTable diner reviews and dining metrics from February 1, 2023 and January 31, 2024. Restaurants with a minimum threshold of diner reviews were considered and evaluated by a compilation of unique data points, including diner ratings, the percentage of five star reviews, the number of alerts set, the percentage of reservations made in advance and direct searches. Metrics were weighted to comprise an overall score. The qualified restaurants were then ranked by the percentage of reviews with the tag “brunch”. The resulting list appears A-Z, not in ranked order.
