Bottomless Dumpling Brunch

Overview

Bourke Street's unconventional dumpling diner Drumplings is regularly turning out eats that stray from the norm — like its mac and cheese, cheeseburger and meat pie dumpling varieties. Now, the neon-lit joint is taking on yum cha and bottomless brunch, but with its typical left-of-centre approach.

Stop in any morning of the week and tuck into bacon and egg dumplings with salted jamón crumb. Or try the shakshouka variety, stuffed with spicy baked eggs and a rich tomato ragout. Also on the menu is the french toast bao — served with chilli and chocolate ice cream and poached pear and ginger syrup — and peppered pork belly sliders, topped with a fried egg and chipotle mayo.

If you're keen to try the lot, head in on weekends when bottomless brunch is on offer. For $59 per person, you'll get sliders, bao and bacon and egg dumplings, along with sichuan fried calamari and all-you-can-drink bloody marys, mimosas, cider or house draught.

Drumplings' new breakfast menu is available Monday–Friday, 7.30am–noon and Saturday–Sunday, 8am–3pm. The bottomless brunch package is available Saturday and Sunday from 11–2pm.
