Best Smashed Avocado on Toast in Sydney

Smashed Avocado on Toast (often simply "Smashed Avo") is the unofficial national breakfast of urban Australia, and Sydney is its spiritual home. The classic version features sourdough bread, ripe hass avocado, lemon, sea salt, and often feta or "dukkah" (an Egyptian spice blend). Order it with a **"poached egg"** on top—the yolk should be runny—and perhaps a side of **"bacon"** or **"smoked salmon."** The trap is paying $22 for a version that uses pre-mashed, oxidized avocado from a bucket; a true Sydney avo toast should be bright green, coarsely mashed, and served on artisanal, high-hydration sourdough. Expect to pay $18–$26 for a full plate.
