Twelve Days of Bottomless Lunches
Riverside eatery Massimo normally only dishes up banquets with non-stop drinks Friday–Sunday, but that's changing for the festive season.
Overview
Deck your stomach with a delicious banquet and bottomless drinks: that's the tune at Massimo Restaurant and Bar for 12 days. The riverside venue is no stranger to serving up a hefty lunch spread with non-stop beverages, but usually only does so for lunch Friday–Sunday. The festive season is about treating yo'self, though, so it's plating up almost a fortnight's worth of feasts for the occasion.
On offer from Thursday, December 21–Tuesday, January 2 for $99 per person is a midday meal that spans raw kingfish, flash-fried calamari, chargrilled lamb with truffle risotto and eggplant parmigiana, as well as sand crab cavatelli, half or a whole chicken (depending on how many people you dine with), and dessert.
To wash it all down, you'll also sip your way through two hours of beer, wine and sparkling — putting the "cheers" into seasonal cheer.
The caveats: you do need at least two people, the food is for the whole table, and dining on weekends and public holidays comes with a surcharge.
You can also level up your lunch to $110, which changes your dishes, and add an extra hour if spending a mere couple wining, dining and getting merry isn't enough.
