Smoke and Mirrors Brunch

Overview

Another Sydney bar is throwing its hat in the boozy brunch ring — and you don't need to wait until the weekend to enjoy this one. Running daily from late-May until late-July, Bungalow 8's new brunch, available in its upstairs cocktail bar The Loft, has a decidedly smoky theme that's perfect for shaking off that winter chill.

Despite the name, there is no trickery happening here — just tasty food and cocktails. The brunch is a four-course Japanese-inspired  feast with a smoky twist — think flamed salmon nigiri topped with crispy bacon and onions, karaage chicken with smoked black garlic dip and smoked strawberry pavlova. Each dish will arrive with a paired smoky cocktail. Some of the tipples that could turn up include the She So Miso, with rum, coffee, vanilla chai tea and smoked miso caramel foam, and Oaxacan Cigar, featuring coffee-infused tequila, smoked and salted agave and vanilla bitters. Perfect for any celebratory affair, the Smoke and Mirrors brunch is a fun, yet sophisticated, way to kick off your day.

And if you want to keep the party going, you can enjoy a $99 GH Mumm magnum as part of Bungalow 8's Mumm happy hour from 4–6pm daily.

The Loft's Smoke and Mirrors Brunch is available every day until Wednesday, July 31. To make a booking, visit the website.
