Lounge Lunch at Tanuki
Inspire your weekend with Japanese share plates, fresh sashimi and inventive desserts, paired with two hours of free-flowing cocktails and wine.
Overview
It's easy to hide away from the weather, but another lazy weekend spent at home is bound to get boring before long. With this in mind, it's a good thing Tanuki —Double Bay's chic Japanese-inspired izakaya and bar — is ramping up the cosiness factor with the launch of its new Lounge Lunch every weekend.
Developed by the same crew behind nearby neighbour Matteo Sydney, this fresh event is designed as a sultry, slow-burning take on a bottomless long lunch. Guided by Head Chef Ken Wee Lee (Sushi e, Toko), expect bold, cheeky twists on Japanese flavours, like salmon tataki, spicy tuna crispy rice, grilled miso chicken set and matcha tiramisu.
Paired with two hours of free-flowing cocktails and wine, Tanuki's alluring lounge and upbeat courtyard are the ideal settings to sip Bandini prosecco and Rameau d'Or rosé alongside a curated selection of vino and tap beers. Plus, if you're really keen to enliven your weekend, you're welcome to upgrade to bottomless margaritas for $20 per person.
Served every Saturday and Sunday for groups of four or more, this share-style banquet and beverage package is available for $100 per person. Perfect for when you've been cooped up inside a little too long, trust this inventive Japanese feast to carry the good vibes until the late afternoon and beyond.
