Bottomless brunches are great.
They’re great because they allow you time to sit, eat, drink and converse with your friends, which is what sharing a meal is all about.
Also, eating is not supposed to be rushed and weekends are meant to be enjoyed, so what better way to do so than by celebrating life and friendships by eating and drinking, and then ordering another round for the table at no extra cost?
So, to help you do that, here’s our pick of some of Brisbane’s best brunch offerings.
1. Ritas
Mexican is on the menu at this bottomless brunch. And in our opinion, the only thing better than bottomless tacos are bottomless Margaritas. Both of which you get for 2 hours on a Sunday between 10am and 2pm.
Described by the owners as “a little risqué and spicy in all the right ways”, Rita’s is bound to be the starting point for some pretty memorable experiences.
$75pp
Every Sunday from 10-2pm
2. Darling & Co
Nothing quite says bottomless like a fountain pouring prosecco. But then Darling & Co don’t just have the one fountain, they’ve got a second pouring spritz so all you need to do is walk on over and top yourself up.
To make sure you’re not gonna stumble over to the fountain and try for a swim, you’ll be served up an antipasto platter to share, a pizza to yourself, and a side salad for good measure as well.
$69pp
Saturdays & Sundays at 11.30 or 2pm
Find Darling & Co at 157 Given Terrace
3. Covent Garden
At Covent Garden, the focus of brunch is less on the food and more on the drink. Specifically, gin – you will have over 500 types to choose from!
You could go for the sangria jug, Pimm’s No.1 Cup, or the monthly gin cocktail special that’s on tap. No matter which you choose though, it will come flowing for two hours. Then when your brunch time is up, you can easily slide over to the bar and pump up the crew with Covent Garden’s extensive selection of drinks and party well into the afternoon. What is brunch if not the beginning of another fabulous day?
(Don’t worry, there is food in the form of share platters loaded with charcuterie, remoulade, chutney, mustard & breads or feta, pickled vegetables, hummus, olives & breads.
$49pp
Sundays from 11am-3pm
Find Covent Garden at 142 Boundary Street
4. Ling Lings
Disco ain’t dead at Ling Lings, at least not on Sundays because they’re spinning the ones and twos with disco, house, and party tunes while you have a sit-down boogie with an eight-course Dim Sum banquet. With Tiger Beer, Prosecco, Rose, Aperol Spritz & Mimosas at your beck and call. Need we say more?
Perhaps we should let you know that this is brunch is at a later hour than most, but if you’re waking up late on Sunday morn then it’s kind of the perfect time for a Sunday sesh especially when you consider the possibility of kicking on into the evening.
$49pp plus booking fee
Every Sunday from 2:30pm-4:30pm.
Find Ling Lings at 11/351 Brunswick Street
