Just because the days are getting fresher needn't mean scrapping your beloved weekly brunch routine. Half Acre's light-filled atrium space proves a primo weekend setting, even right through the depths of a grizzly Melbourne winter. Especially thanks to the South Melbourne eatery's newly hatched weekend brunch offering, which is dishing up a bottomless New York-inspired feast every Saturday and Sunday from April 26.

Taking cues from the Big Apple's Soho House, this luxe buffet brunch is all-you-can-eat — so, make sure you head along hungry. It features a generous banquet spread loaded with shakshuka eggs in a tangy tomato and pepper sauce, challah french toast with rosewater berry compote, and oven-roasted figs with stracciatella, kale pesto and olive.

But what really dials up the weekend vibes here is Half Acre's self-serve DIY bottomless bar, stocked to overflowing with citrus and vodka options, alongside a rainbow of trimmings, from cinnamon sticks to ginger crisps. Unleash some brunchtime creativity as you customise your own boozy concoctions to match the eats.

And how much will all of this mid-morning boozing and eating set you back? A very reasonable $65. To reserve your spot, head to the restaurant's website.

Half Acre's bottomless brunch banquets are running from 11.30am–2pm every Saturday and Sunday.
