Three Martini Lunch

Overview

If you're looking to break up your work week with a luxe lunch trip to one of Sydney's best restaurants, inner-city French diner Restaurant Hubert is offering up the perfect excuse with the return of its Three Martini Lunch.

Head to the Blight Street spot from midday Wednesday–Friday to enjoy martinis for just $11. You can order your martini with vodka or gin, shaken or stirred. The Hubert team will make it however you prefer.

Elevating the lunchtime special is live jazz and the option of adding steaks and half lobsters to your midweek meal. Hubert's a la catre menu and specials will be on offer for lunch, plus there'll be daily performances from local jazz musicians.

The Three Martini Lunch is a tradition that sprung up in New York with mid-century Wall Street types indulging in these lavish lunches. Former US President Gerald Ford even called them "the epitome of American efficiency".

To ensure you nab yourself a spot, book a table at the Swillhouse website.
