Swing by Dead Ringer every weekend from 10:30am to take advantage of their legendary bottomless brunch. Straying from the classic breakfast staples like eggs and avo, Dead Ringer favours a restaurant-style lunch for their set menu ($45pp), with the occasional nod to brekkie. House-baked focaccia and slow-roasted chicken with creamy polenta are menu highlights, and you can add on a mimosa ($35pp), prosecco ($49pp), or Sunly seltzer ($55pp) package, too, if you’re feeling fancy.

Opening on Saturdays at 12pm, Glorietta is on the tail-end of brunch hour, but makes up for it with a healthy drinks offering. For $79pp, dining like the Romans do on pasta alla vodka, spaghetti Rustichella with king crab, a selection of Glorietta pizzas, baby cos lettuce and shaved ricotta salad and broccolini. The two hour brunch package includes a choice of Redbank ‘Emily’ Brut sparkling, Marty’s Block rosé and Yulli’s ‘Seabass’ Mediterranean lager and Gage Road ‘Hello Sunshine’ cider. That’s our kind of brunch.

Sitting at the bar is always the best seat in the house and if you’re lucky to nab one of the stools overlooking the kitchen window at Sonora, you can see the chefs in action. It’s all about Mexican flavours made with seasonal produce, which is why there’s lemon myrtle in your basil guacamole. Obviously, there are tacos, which could include tempura cactus, wagyu beef rib and chicken wing options, but there’s also baked Oaxacan cheese, grilled sardines and duck carnitas. But if tacos are what you’re craving, the Bottomless Fiesta on weekends plates up unlimited tacos, salsas and margaritas. 1/37-41 Bayswater Rd, Potts Point; sonora-mexican.au

We couldn’t do a brunch wrap-up without a mention of Bills, the spiritual heartland of brunch lovers far and wide. There’s a well-recorded tie between the ricotta hotcakes with banana and honeycomb butter, and the sweet corn fritters with roast tomato, spinach and bacon, so the obvious solution is to get one of each. A bellini at Bills is the best way to start a weekend, so get there early and secure a table.

It’s not just rosé all day at SoCal, but all week! From 12pm every Wednesday-Sunday you can swing by SoCal for unlimited rosé & rosé sangria, plus a Mexican-style feast ($69pp). From guac and corn chips and kingfish tiradito, to smoked beef tacos and chicken quesadillas, this is a banquet you won’t want to miss. As if you need another excuse, you can add churros with warm dulce de leche for $3pp – what are you waiting for?

There’s no better way to kick off your weekend than with a Jerusalem bagel and hummus at Ezra, one of Potts Point’s newest recruits. Leaning into Ashkenazi, Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines, Ezra pays tribute through zhuzhed up classics. Arrive at 12pm and kick things off with the aforementioned bagel with hummus, radishes, and soft boiled smoked egg, then move on to spanner crab falafel, and roast cauliflower with haloumi, za’atar and honey. We suggest also ordering a Limonana with blitzed gin, lemon, mint and arak.

Our favourite Auntie welcomes all every Saturday morning for a brand new spritzed-up brunch ($70pp). Pair new dishes such as ca ngu tai (cured tuna belly, kombu extract, celeriac relish), the popular rice paper roll kit and xa lach (lettuce hearts with mint, belechan dressing and fried shallots) with a choice of passionfruit-grape, strawberry-lime and lychee-ginger spritzes. If you’re feeling fancy, you can also add on a special caviar course ($20pp).

Darren Robertson’s Bondi-based restaurant, Rocker, has a swoon-worthy brunch offering that will have hearts a-flutter. From Thursday-Sunday, book in for a taste of their special menu featuring Iggy’s sourdough and roast onion butter, burrata with heirloom tomatoes and basil, and prosciutto and Sydney rock melon. Mains are to share and include free-range roast chicken with truffled parsnip puree, spiced roast pumpkin, apple and soft herb salad, and fried potatoes with a zingy salsa verde. To finish, dive into a divine pavlova with berries, passionfruit and lemon curd. Pair with bottomless mimosas, sparkling, red, white and rosé for $85pp.

Seaside views and bubbles are the way to do it over on the north side, and we recommend heading straight to Manly Wine for their Saturday beachfront brunch. Kicking off at 11am, enjoy a set menu of brunchy-lunchy plates – from fritters and brioche, to tacos and frittata. For $79pp, you can sip your way through a dreamy spritz list, including the beloved Manly pink gin spritz and sea cucumber spritz.

Baby Coffee Co Baby Coffee Co takes brunch to new levels, with classic plates dialled up a notch. From fried chicken and waffles to caramelised brioche toast, this is one brunch you’ll want to arrive hungry for. Pick between bottomless mimosas ($25) or prosecco ($35) for two hours, and eat to your heart’s content.
