Meze & Mimosa

Overview

Weekend mornings spent staring at the river are a Brisbane speciality, and there's no shortage of ways to go about it. But only one involves hanging out on Eagle Street, sitting in the sunshine and spending 90 minutes sipping unlimited mimosas over a meze spread: the aptly named Meze & Mimosa.

Babylon Garden, the two-tier waterfront bar on the river side of restaurant Babylon that opened earlier in 2023, is the place to head. From Saturday, June 24, it's serving up its new brunch offer from 11am–12.30pm every Saturday and Sunday. You'll pay $70 to tuck into a chef's selection of dishes, all washed down with everyone's favourite cocktail of champagne and orange juice.

Dishes include pan-fried haloumi with red grapes, honey and oregano; spiced fried cauliflower with ras el hanout, lemon, black tahini, almonds and parsley; spinach and feta gozleme; and shish tawook, aka woodfired chicken skewers, with kisir, tomato and yoghurt.

Also included: those stunning river views, plus live tunes and a cruisy, boozy, tasty way to greet both days of the weekend.
