Bottoms Up to Bottomless Brunch at these 6 Venues

It’s one way to cure a hangover…Bottomless Brunch or Lunch! 

This popular weekend phenom has stepped up a notch in recent years and become a rite of passage for eager brunch-goers; after all, what is better than a little hair of the dog?

Would you like eggs or waffles with your Champagne this weekend? Here are six venues to get your bottomless fix:

A feast for the senses awaits at the end of a narrow laneway, tucked in between two heritage-listed sandstone buildings, at Shaffa on Albion Street in Surry Hills. This inviting Middle Eastern restaurant and bar is inspired by the fragrant, lively markets of Tel Aviv; step into a moody vibe of exposed brick, velvet banquettes and an open kitchen offering a glimpse of Chefs in action. 

When was the last time you treated yourself to a leisurely brunch? Make this week the week to brunch in style with a delicious Middle Eastern feast and go bottomless at Shaffa – enjoy a relaxed à la carte affair or opt for the $79 per person in the light-filled atrium along with a 90-minute bottomless drinks package also available from $37 per person, or $47 with Margaritas. Expect to sample plates like chicken shawarma, with tahini, amba, pickled cabbage and herbs, along with kingfish, fennel, sumac and rockmelon broth.

Boasting many spaces, bars and balconies to get lost in, head to Henry Deane on Bettington Street in Millers Point for rooftop brews and bites. The zenith of Hotel Palisade, this dining destination reveals the building’s modern and contemporary charisma with plush settees and lounges to watch the boats and harbour float on by – kick back and settle into uninterrupted Sydney views no matter which way you look.

 

Bask in Winter sunshine on the encased rooftop bar every Saturday for Bottomless Brunch and share a seven-course menu along with two hours of bottomless cocktails, including the Sydney go-to Tommy’s Margarita. Expect to devour scallops, prawn rolls, beetroot and air-dried duck breast, along with roasted chicken, koji, garlic and lemon; finish sweetly with chia seed pudding, yoghurt and cranberries.

Transforming North Sydney’s skyline with a leafy oasis, head to roof top garden bar and restaurant Green Moustache on Miller Street to enjoy a seasonally-inspired menu and award-winning wines. This greenhouse-designed space is filled with an abundance of plants, along with cane furniture and pendent lights, neon signage and a well-stocked bar promising cheeky cocktails.

 

Grab your pals together and join the Bottomless Brunch action with a two-hour package including a rum daiquiri on arrival, followed by free-flowing sparkling wine, rosé, lager, pale ale and Margaritas, alongside a fresh, Modern Australian menu; expect plates like salt and pepper squid, housemade gnocchi with smoked chicken, roast butternut pumpkin, baby spinach and Danish feta, plus a pickled radicchio salad with heirloom, tomato, rocket and white balsamic dressing.

Newly renovated and revived, the vibe is warm and welcoming with coastal chic accents offering intimate dining only five minutes walk from the beach.

 

Take to the first-floor lookout for both indoor and outdoor heated and covered dining and indulge in Bottomless Brunch on Friday, Saturday and Sunday for just $99 per person, with a two-hour drinks package of cocktails, beer, wine and some of Chica Chica’s favourites. Get the party started with twice-spiced tequila chicken wings and BBQ corn ribs, before tasty tacos such as beef brisket, smoked eggplant, Kewpie and house pickles, or steak and prawns, with smoky béchamel, pickled onions and pimento salsa.
