Melbourne's best bottomless brunches.

What’s not to love about brunch?

Almost any dish is welcome to the much-loved breakfast-lunch mash-up, it’s an occasion where day-drinking is downright acceptable (that includes fancy non-alcoholic drinks, too), and it’s a meal that will even wait for you.

Why set the alarm when the whole brunching experience can be spread over an indulgent afternoon? If you still need convincing, we’ve curated our list of Melbourne’s top venues and their creative bottomless brunches.

The city’s diverse brunch scene spans a whole range of different cuisines, venue styles and serving times, in some cases, until 5pm, which means there is something for every taste.

To whet your appetite, here are our top five picks for Melbourne’s best bottomless brunches.

FABLE

Fable rooftop bottomless brunch melbourne

It’s well known as Melbourne’s highest rooftop bar but Fable is also taking dining to a whole new level with a new two-hour brunch package.

Spritzy cocktails, showcasing the botanically infused Grey Goose Essences, are included in the deal, alongside bubbles and non-alcoholic cocktails. They all play nicely with the canapes on offer, which might include beetroot stracciatella, citrus-cured Yellowtail kingfish and chicken croquettes. You may also get DJs and roaming entertainment during your visit, but that jaw-dropping view is still likely to steal the show.

Saturdays, $95pp.

Address: Level 13, 168 Lonsdale St, Melbourne

MR BROWNIE

Expect a flurry of colour, music and an eclectic decor when you brunch at Mr Brownie.

If you’re into a totally sensory experience when you brunch, head to chef and restaurateur Jessi Singh’s distinctive offering at four-storey pub Mr Brownie. Much like Singh’s other venues, including Melbourne’s Daughter-in-law and Sydney’s new Pinky-Ji, you can expect a barrage of colour, music and eclectic decor (read: fun) that matches the punch of his trademark “unauthentic Indian” food. This Bottomless Brunch is excellent value, comprising five entrees – think paneer sliders, tandoori chicken and Indian fried chicken – plus bottomless wine and tap beers, and one special cocktail of the day.

Available: Friday to Sunday, $59pp.

Address: 343 Clarendon St, Collingwood

LE BON TON

Bottomless brunch from Le Bon Ton.

There are certain weekends that call for a hearty, drip-down-your-chin meal to break your fast, and on those days, Le Bon Ton is the place to be. Here, the Bottomless Brunch does an impressive job of soaking up the sins of the night before, but the tricky part is choosing just one Southern-style barbecue dish from the set menu. There’s a cheeseburger and four sandwiches — filled with either mushroom, brisket, chopped pork or fried chicken — and you can wash it all down with the included mimosas, highballs and hurricanes. It’s enough to get the party started all over again.

Available: Weekends, $69pp.

Address: 51 Gipps St, Collingwood

FARMER’S DAUGHTERS

The slick 80 Collins Precinct has fast become a hot favourite in town, with Farmer’s Daughters one of its buzziest drawcards. A provenance-based approach has seen Farmer’s Daughters team put Gippsland’s produce under the spotlight since opening mid-year and Gippsland also shines in their Bottomless Brunch.

The two-hour package serves up some of the venue’s best-loved dishes on its rooftop terrace, with cured meats, crudo, soda bread and a pork and leek pie among the hits. Their Collins cocktails, and Gippsland wines and beers round out the experience.

Available: Saturdays, $90pp.

Address: 95 Exhibition St, Melbourne

BANG BANG

Bang Bang offers brunch with a spicy twist.

Brunch gets a spicy twist at Bang Bang, where the menu leans French-Indochine. The likes of mini tuna burgers, pork skewers and Chiang Mai chicken are featured on the five-dish menu, which all make a mean match for the Mimosas, gin and juice and wine and beer poured as part of the package. And despite Bang Bang’s enticing interiors, the venue’s outdoor courtyard is peak brunching territory. If you feel like upping the fancy factor, you can even add Champagne and French rosé to your drinks selection for an extra $45 a head.

Available: Weekends, $75pp.

Address: 294 Glenhuntly Rd, Elsternwick
