Au (Pet) Naturel Bottomless Brunch

Overview

Renowned all-day King Street eatery and wine bar Odd Culture is adding a Sydney favourite to its already eclectic menu — bottomless brunch. As with most of the things you'll find at Odd Culture, the Newtown bar is doing brunch a little differently.

Instead of your standard selection of free-flowing house wine and beers, the Odd Culture bottomless brunch features two hours of natural wines from Jumping Juice. A range of wines from this minimal-intervention producer has been selected to partner with the brunch spread, including a fun and fizzy pét-nat which will be used to make mimosas paired with freshly squeezed orange juice.

As for the food, it depends on when you sit down. The bottomless is available from 7am Friday, Saturday and Sunday each week. From 7am–midday, patrons will be served the brunch-specific menu, including seasonal fruit, a choice of porridge, a bacon butty with tonkatsu sauce, ocean trout with potato waffles, creme fraiche and eggs, and buttermilk pancakes topped with miso caramel and banana.

From midday, guests will be served the lunch menu. This sharing-based feast will feature the likes of koji-roasted chicken, chicken-fat congee, green beans, eggs and a leafy green salad.

Au (Pet) Naturel will set each diner back $85, but there are a few luxe extras you can add on if you're feeling particularly lavish. Start your meal with an Odd Culture bloody mary or brown butter espresso martini for an extra $22, or add a half-dozen or dozen oysters to the spread ($42–84).
