Slept in? Chu the Phat’s all day boozy brunch runs until 8pm, so no need to panic. The colourful venue that expands tardis-like from a small entrance in in lively Fish Lane to reveal a double-storey, glass-walled interior with an industrial-meets-modern aesthetic, has a well-priced Super Sunday brunch offering. Settle into a booth and graze through the $60 banquet menu of contemporary pan-Asian snacks – like wagyu dumplings and duck steamed buns, buttermilk fried chicken ribs, or stir-fried pork, along with a two-hour package of Aperol spritz, beer, wine or non-alcoholic drinks. Walk it off afterwards with a wander down Fish Lane to view its notable street art. 111 Melbourne St, South Brisbane; chuthephat.com.au.

Beneath the steel girder underbelly of the Story Bridge, Fiume has one of the best views in Brisbane, overlooking the river and the city skyscrapers. It’s the perfect lofty, breeze-catching oasis from which to observe the hustle of Howard Smith Wharves too. From 10am on Sundays, you can take a table among the greenery and graze through a set menu of sweet and savoury options for $110, including mix your own mimosas, bellini and champagne cocktails. There’s also the possibility to upgrade for an extra $30 to include three signature cocktails; a bloody mary, the Aperol-based “Sunday Bliss” or a martini made on Tamborine Mountain Distillery’s limoncello. Or swap out the cocktails for bottomless Taittinger Champagne. Level 3/5 Boundary St, Brisbane City; crystalbrookcollection.com.

It’s Mexican, but not as you know it. Instead, think of an ever-changing line-up of tacos with decidedly un-Mexican flavourings, like crispy fried emperor with spiced pea and jalapeno salsa, fried potato, nori vinegar and tartare sauce. Another standout is the chilli caramel pork belly with miso mayo, caramelised nuts and chives. Two empanadas with chorizo and black garlic are a bargain, while a big bowl of chilli fries with Sichuan spice and lime mayo is a table-pleaser. With cracker cocktails and a connoisseur’s tequila and mezcal list, it’s a party six days a week.36 Vernon Tce, Teneriffe; ritasbar.com.au

Yum cha, plus Champagne equals a pretty fine way to begin winding down the weekend. At the buzzy Howard Smith Wharf precinct, overlooking the Brisbane River, upmarket Cantonese diner Stanley, offers a yum cha and Champagne brunch between 11 and 3pm for $150. Dining is from the banquet menu and includes baskets of steamed dumplings such as scallop siu mai, prawn har gow, XO seafood or duck and mushroom; crisp prawn and chive spring rolls, chill and garlic spare ribs and if you’re feeling more adventurous, spicy chicken feet or black bean tripe. Included is a two-hour package of Louis Roederer Champagne. 5 Boundary St, Brisbane City; stanleyrestaurant.com.au.

OK, so it’s not Miami. It’s not even Mooloolaba, but there is a beach and you can pack your bathers and have swim at South Bank’s Street’s Beach, although we’d definitely advise going easy on the ‘boozy’ part if you’re intending getting in. Otherwise, just kick back post-brunch and enjoy the palm-tree framed view and the party vibe. Served between 10am and noon, the menu is breakfast-y with salmon and cream cheese croissants, eggs benedict, avocado toast, pastries and fruit, accompanied by bottomless spritzes, mimosas, bloody marys and lager. 30aa, Stanley St Plaza, South Brisbane; southbeach.net.au.
