Just went back through previous posts this topic. Ship Inn it is!!!!

Viv, I'm assuming that those making that decision this year on your behalf have gone to the trouble of:

a. ascertaining that venue decided upon serves a late breakfast... and...
b. ascertaining that said breakfast menu is suitable and priced for your needs... and...
c. ascertained that said venue offers said service at 10:00AM on a Saturday... and...
d. a booking has been made in our name for around 20 people for Saturday 5th Nov....

...so there's no last minute surprises on the day...

I just 'phoned the Ship Inn, and they DO NOT do breakfast anymore. 1000 opening. Any more suggestions??
The Paragon does breakfasts on Saturday but opens at 1000. By the time anyone eats and finishes it'll be almost time for lunch!!!

The OPERA BAR in the Opera House opens at 0900 on Saturdays and does breakfast.
operabar.com.au
Check it out.
Might be OK!!
I have 'phoned them. They ARE open at 0900, and bookings for breakfast can be made through the website. Alcohol is also available at 0900.

The Opera Bar is on the concourse between circular Quay and the Opera House, below street level, along the foreshore.
Can easily handle 20+. very popular for drinks on Thur/Fri after work. Very noisy then.
They do a range of food and are licenced. Not inexpensive and watch out for the seagulls. They are in abundance and will steal food from your plate/table/fork.
Dunno about the times, google perhaps?
Had a snack there several times when going to/from the Opera House.

My advice? Keep looking but keep it as a last resort.

Gordo ...... the time is right. I spoke to the lovely lady. It is open from 0900 on Saturdays and does grog from 0900 as well. Bookings can be made through the Opera Bar website. Have a look at it. I'll have a Croque Monsieur plus a glass of Sparkling thank you!!!

Even closer... City Extra - Circular Quay Opens 7:00AM Saturdays for Breakfast... Right at the hub for Trains, Ferries, Buses and Taxis... (and about 20 metres from my ferry...!)
