Jacaranda Brunch

Wandering beneath purple-hued trees isn't the only way to celebrate jacaranda season in Brisbane this spring.

Overview

When spring arrives in Brisbane, the River City turns violet, as well as gorgeous. There's nothing like wandering beneath the jacaranda trees around town when they're in full bloom, and we all have the camera roll filled with vibrant snaps to prove it. Frolicking outdoors is one way to celebrate the floral explosion. Until Saturday, November 16, 2024, so is hitting up the Regatta Hotel each Saturday for a blossoming boozy brunch.

From 11am–1pm weekly, the Toowong pub is serving up a meal, a beverage package, live tunes and even sing-alongs, all in its bloom-adorned courtyard. So, you'll still be outside — but sitting down, eating and drinking, and soaking in a piano-fuelled soundtrack.

You'll pay $79 per person to get brunching, which includes two hours of food and drinks. On the menu: a three-course spread that starts with tempura zucchini flowers and saltbush chevre, then offers a pick of pizzas (including mushroom and truffle oil, plus jamon and roquette) or a salad, and finishes with mini pancake stacks and fudge.

The singing is as much of a drawcard as what you'll be downing, with lyrics displayed on the venue's big screens karaoke-style while everyone croons along as a crowd.
