The Bay Brunch at Watsons Bay Boutique Hotel

Overview

Crucial to doing brunch properly is not having to think about time. After all, it's its occupation of the not-breakfast, not-lunch never-never land that makes it so deliciously languid. You can't be early. You can't be late. And it's impossible to stay too long. Practically, though, Sydney brunches, especially when combined with views, can't always offer such temporal escapism. Too many people want in on them.

Until now, that is. The Watsons Bay Hotel is bringing an all-you-can-eat buffet brunch our way. For hours on end, you'll be able to indulge while soaking up waterfront views and recovering from whatever shindiggery you've been up to the evening before.

Whipped up by executive chef John Pye, the menu is no ordinary buffet production but features the likes of house-made granola trifles layered with summer berries and vanilla yoghurt; hand-carved, glazed Kurobuta ham and cranberry sauce sliders; Belgian waffles with crispy American-style bacon and maple syrup; and banana flapjack pancakes with salted caramel sauce and Chantilly cream. For drinks, a bespoke Bloody Mary bar will have you covered, and there's also the option of bubbles, fresh mimosas and home-made watermelon lemonade.

The Bay Brunch is back for September 27, October 4 and October 18.
