For when you want a recovery session that'll keep the spirits up — quite literally.
Without hangovers, would we have the gift of long boozy brunches? It doesn't bear thinking about the culture we'd miss out on if we didn't feel a little dusty, but also ready to keep the party going at the same time. Next time you feel the need to feed your aching body with good food, great company and even better drinks, take advantage of one of the many excellent brunches Sydney has to offer.
But before you do, it's crucial to arm yourself with a list of where to find restorative food and a ridiculously good hangover-busting cocktail. So we've partnered with Grey Goose, the world's finest French vodka, to help you locate seven boozy brunch spots so you can order that plate of pulled pork tacos with a spicy bloody mary, or avo on toast with a fruity vodka spritz. There's no judgement here — you'll feel better in no time.

Anyone north of the bridge will tell you that the closer you are to the beach the quicker the hangover disappears, so it’s no wonder Corretto Dee Why is a local favourite. Right on the beach, Corretto is the perfect place to take in the ocean breeze and go on an all-out brekkie binge with the Brunch Club — a meal that includes scallops, burrata cheese and all the garlic bread you could ask for. Pair your feast with a few Eezy-Breezys — a festive summer cocktail of Grey Goose vodka, sakura (cherry-blossom juice) and chestnut liqueur that’ll help jumpstart your return to the land of the living.

The always elegant, super effective Le Grand Fizz is a surefire way to get you feeling fresh and ready for the world again without an assault on your senses. The no-fuss concoction of Grey Goose vodka, St-Germain Elderflower Liqueur and soda with lime is the best way to start the Mediterranean brunch feast from this Double Bay outfit. The set menu begins with oysters followed by a whole leg of slow-cooked lamb and falafel with pumpkin hummus.

A great big feed is sometimes the answer to your post-party blues. So we recommend heading to Paddington’s Elephant Bar for a brunch of elephant proportions. The bar offers bottomless cocktails as far as your eyes can see for a mere $85. For the sweet-toothed but sore-headed brunch fan, look no further than Elephant Bar’s Passion for a Spritz — a dessert island mix of vodka, vanilla liqueur and passionfruit topped off with prosecco to give you that spike of energy you need to spring back to life. It pairs well with the brunch boards on offer, including grilled chorizo, avocado, tomato, smoked salmon, fresh fruit, eggs and flat breads.

Bondi’s Panama House is where you’ll find a hangover meal in liquid form with their version of the humble bloody mary. Ask for Grey Goose vodka with the OG hair-of-the-dog cocktail, which has a thunderous mix of house spice blend, tomato juice and crispy bacon — it’s a drink punchy enough revive you (even if you’re not hangover). The Central American-inspired Bondi restaurant has got your whole day covered with a feast of smoky pork fajitas and fresh swordfish on the menu, too.

Set on some of the most coveted real estate in the country, Circular Quay’s Opera Bar is the perfect place to help you remember just how much you love Sydney. You can still grab the hangover classic bacon and egg roll here on a weekend morning, but make it a fancy affair with an extra helping of truffle and a lush glass of their Fizzical Touch. The trio of Grey Goose vodka, Pampelle L’Apero Aperitif and Cynar with a touch of pink grapefruit is the perfect companion for a view over the water and it’s a great way to get back into the party spirit.

The best way to get past a hangover is to face it head on, or at least that’s what you can tell yourself while sipping on Bel & Brio’s Hawaiian Sunset, a heavy hitter of Grey Goose vodka, lychee liqueur and Malibu accompanied by a tropical splash of passionfruit and vanilla syrup. Once you’re set up with a few of these, last night’s injuries will be distant memories, plus you can soak it all up with a classic breakfast bruschetta to keep it hearty and healing without skimping on the fun.

Is there anything better than a view of the glittering harbourside on a sunny Sydney day? It can’t hurt your mood after a big night out, so a stop at Quay Bar is a must if you’re looking to escape the hangover slump. The no-fuss breakfast menu won’t hurt your wallet, either, as the classic avo on toast comes in under $10, but the real healing power of Quay Bar is in its all-day drinking vibe. Order the lush Customs Spritz, a cocktail of Grey Goose La Poire (premium pear-infused vodka), elderflower liqueur with Capi tonic.
Upgrade your weekend boozy brunch with the world’s finest French vodka. Each Grey Goose bottle is distilled once and bottled in France, and the high quality vodka has a 100 percent traceable production process, from crop to cork.
