Overview
For many months, $25 mid-week chicken at Firebird in Prahran has been winning over the starving hump-day masses. Now, Commune, the group behind the restaurant and many other eateries, wants to spread the goodness.
If you're in Richmond, or considering visiting, you'll need to head to New Quarter. Here, you'll be treated to High Tide, an epic bottomless banquet.
For $76, feast on a raw seafood platter crowded with Moreton Bay bugs, Pacific oysters, beef tartare, asparagus rice paper rolls, and the restaurant's signature betel leaf kingfish. Also included is cha ca baby snapper wrapped in banana leaf, with sides of red cabbage, pickled red onion and yum puk, plus your choice of vermicelli or rice.
And the bottomless drinks list here is longer than your usual suspects. Take your pick of beers, wines and three cocktails: the pineapple-lychee bellini, the plum-grapefruit spritz and the mimosa. On the non-alcoholic menu, you'll find pomegranate iced tea and salted grapefruit soda.
High Tide is available Friday to Sunday from 12pm–5pm. Bookings are available online.
