Frederic's Grand Slam Lunch

Overview

Need a break from sweating it out courtside at the Australian Open? This weekend, consider Frédéric your breezy lunchtime haven. From 12.30pm on Sunday, January 22, the French restaurant is reopening its sunny rooftop bar to host its Grand Slam Lunch — a one-off three-course feast matched with bottomless sips.

Located just a stroll from Melbourne Park, the venue will kick things off with signature spritzes served on the rooftop, before guests head down to the dining room for their chic lunch spread.

We're talking plates like tomato assiette with grilled king prawn, whipped cheddar croustade, and a bavette steak served alongside roasted bone marrow — and it's all paired with free-flowing prosecco, wine and beer.

What's more, you don't have to miss out on the tennis action, with the AO playing live and loud downstairs in Fred's Bar. Tickets clock in at $170, though you'll want to be quick as spots are limited — book via email or phone.
