Bottomless Brunches
Fancy a bottomless brunch in Sydney? Here is where to head.
Darling Pavilion
During the sunny days of summer, most of Sydney’s foodies head to the Darling Pavilion at least once in the season.
Nestled within the Darling Quarter, this spacious venue incorporates a massive 1000-square-metres. However, despite this size, it has a remarkably intimate feel to it, thanks to the fabulous design which the insanely talented Michael McCann (the interior designer who fitted out Felix and Mr Wong) came up with.
Featuring a stylish oval bar which acts as its centrepiece, you can kickstart your bottomless brunch here with an Altos Margarita cocktail. Thereafter, you can enjoy a range of delightful dishes from head chef Kyle Quy, which includes their signature mini lamb burgers.
If you fancy leaving more room for beer or wine, they do a delicious smoked salmon with preserved lemon remoulade which is just the ticket.

Untied
If you love the idea of a bottomless brunch with soul and tremendous views, then head on over to Untied.
This fabulous rooftop bar in Barangaroo offers a scrumptious, 3-course southern-style spread every Saturday which at $79 a person (at the time of writing) is an absolute steal.
Presented to Insta-worthy perfection, the food comprises several bbq delights, which will get the seal of approval from any carnivore. But it’s not all about the meat here, vegans can also enjoy a plant-based menu that bursts with colour and invention.
Whatever you decide to eat, Sunday is when you’ll have to go. You can also pair your meal with bottomless bellinis and frosé to let the good times flow.

How does caviar and cocktails sound? Well, if you fancy engaging in the finer things in brunch you should make a point of visiting the Manly Pacific – MGallery.
Recently renovated, this theatrical space is resplendent with terrazzo, marble, terracotta and mauve tones that create a sophisticated place to indulge your palate over a two hour tasting session.
During this time you can enjoy a thoughtfully curated menu of small plates, which include dukkah-spiced burrata, freshly shucked oysters, salt and pepper calamari and, best of all, bottomless truffle fries.
Now that’s what we call a tasty USP!

Jukebox Bottomless at Rekōdo
Wicked tunes and incredible food. That just about sums up Matt Moran’s fabulous restaurant in Barangaroo.
Rekōdo should be on the radar of all ladies (and gentlemen) that brunch thanks to its unique offering. Every Saturday and Sunday from midday to 3 pm you can enjoy a superb selection of Japanese-influenced plates and bottomless margaritas, spritzes and Proseccos, all while a live DJ plays some banging beats.
You currently need to pay $95 per person for a two hour slot, however you also get to choose the music the DJ plays. (Think of them as a live jukebox!).
Overall, it’s quite the experience.

This charming rooftop venue offers endless serves of mimosas to go with its meze selection, which will go a long way towards re-energising you for continued retail therapy.
From your lofty position, you can enjoy a 90-minute feast that includes chicken skewers (shish tawook), falafel, hummus and tabbouleh, all while taking in lovely views of the surrounding scenery.

One of the best places in the Sydney CBD for a bottomless Saturday brunch is the Cabana Bar. Billing itself as a city resort, it comprises five separate function spaces, one of which lays on the spectacular two hour culinary extravaganza.
Radiating distinctive Santorini vibes, the restaurant comprises several nooks, comfortable banquettes and a large al fresco terrace, which makes the perfect spot to enjoy as many seasonal cocktails and margaritas as you want.

Henry Dean
The Hotel Palisade, and more specifically Henry Dean, has been on the bottomless brunch radar of Sydney’s more sophisticated foodies for a few years now.
Spread across two levels, it’s worth coming here alone for the spectacular views of the Sydney Harbour Bridge and surrounding areas. However, the thoughtfully curated food menu, which includes marinated pipis, raw fish and abalone potatoes, is equally inviting.
Throw in bottomless cocktails and mimosas and some cool tunes, and you have all the ingredients of a fabulous Sunday sesh.

Bottomless lunches
Fancy a boozy lunch instead of brunch? Here are the best places for foodies to visit in Sydney.
Arturo’s Restaurant
Its fair to say Arturo’s is a bit of an institution in Woolloomooloo. Situated within The Woolly Bay Hotel, this fabulous restaurant is attracting an army of hungry diners eager to try their bottomless lunch menu which has really set tongues wagging and taste buds dancing.
During the three course Mediterranean feast you can enjoy a couple of hours of as many seltzers, proseccos, rosés and house beers as you can manage. There’s no better way to enjoy your weekend!
Apart from the food and drink, one of the best reasons to come here is for the vibe, which is always relaxed and convivial. The service is also fast and friendly. So, overall, the venue ticks plenty of boxes.

Cony’s Cronulla
Adopting somewhat of a celebrity status in Cronulla, it is hard to determine who is a bigger crowd pleaser. Cony Henriquez, the owner of the popular restaurant Cony’s Cronulla, or her delicious Chilean-inspired food.
Certainly, both are appreciated by the locals who enjoy the South American flavour that she has injected into the neighbourhood.
Delicious tapas-style street food is the go here, which she makes with plenty of skill and passion. Being a bottomless experience, you can enjoy plenty of tacos, sopapillas and churros in this fabulous laneway bar, as well as plenty of sangria, tap beer, margaritas and aperol spritzes.
Address: 15 Surf Lane, Cronulla NSW 2230

Bopp & Tone
You would think the chance to spot A-list celebrities openly enjoying the food at Bopp & Tone would be the main reason for going there. However, as big a drawcard as that might be, you’ll hardly even notice as you chow down on the delightful offerings the venue serves up for its bottomless brunch.
Comprising a six-course shared menu, diners can enjoy bottomless drinks over a two hour period, along with hip soul music in an elegant lounge lizard setting.
The menu changes regularly to keep things fresh and you guessing. However, as the venue was awarded the title of the ‘Best Steak Restaurant’ at the 2023 Restaurant & Catering Awards, there is a good chance that it will feature prominently on it.

The bottomless brunch here is a delightful experience that starts with fresh bread and salty butter. It then takes you on a gastronomic journey that incorporates several seasonal dishes including grilled octopus and quiche du jour.
You can pair their culinary choices with two hours of Côtes de Provence rosé and if you are so inclined, you can always visit their onsite traiteur and boulangerie to take some of their delicious baked goods and deli meats home with you.

Mille Vini Wine Bar & Restaurant
Much loved for its huge collection of imported Italian wines and delicious handmade pasta, Mille has been a stalwart on the brunch scene in Surry Hills for several years.
Its bottomless brunch menu changes with the season, which makes it a worthwhile destination to visit on at least a quarterly basis.
Whenever you go there though, you’ll be able to enjoy a two-hour dining and drinking experience that offers vibrant plates that burst with flavour.
Moreover, the homely trattoria resides in a heritage terrace which provides a refined setting that adds to the overall experience. (Heads Up, bookings are essential if you plan to come here, because Mille is a popular destination with Lavender Bay locals).

As you should have guessed by its name, this hip urban wine bar is a real hit with oenophiles who revel in a sumptuous selection of international wines and spritz cocktails.
However, foodies love to come here too as they can enjoy a terrific selection of brunch classics as well as signature dishes like sausage rolls (made in-house) and wild mushroom arancini which is stuffed with goat’s cheese. The latter are so good, you can’t stop at one!
