You Can Eat the Wallpaper at Ananas's Willy Wonka-Themed Champagne Brunch
Your Golden Ticket to chocolate rivers and giant jelly babies.
Edible wallpaper, rivers of chocolate, gigantic jelly babies. Willy Wonka’s insane creations are no longer confined to the pages of Roald Dahl’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (or various creepy movie versions), the team at Ananas are letting you gorge on Wonka inventions in Sydney.
The Rocks’ hardcore brunch enthusiasts Ananas Bar & Brasserie are hosting Willy Wonka’s Champagne Brunch, an undoubtedly Instagrammable wonderland of edible treats on Sunday, August 23. Whether you'll be surrounded by Oompa Loompas or have to keep Violet Beauregard away from the Extra remains to be seen.
Fuelled by sparkling glasses of bubbly, you’ll be feasting away on Ananas’ Wonka-inspired delights, including a recreation of the chocolate river that sucked up Augustus Gloop (probably on a smaller scale). There’ll be desserts like golden macaroons, giant jelly babies, salted caramel lollipops, giant chocolate eggs, rainbow candy sweets, and a liquid nitrogen ice cream station. Plus, you can lick your way to glory with that edible wallpaper.
But it’s not all sugary goodness at this Sunday brunch. There’ll be a seafood grazing station with fresh crab, oysters and house-smoked salmon, house-made charcuterie, parfaits, rillettes, terrines and ballotines. Then things get rich — there’s going to be a carvery station serving roasted pork belly with caramelised apples and crackling, roasted beef rib and Yorkshire puddings.
Willy Wonka’s Champagne Brunch is happening at Ananas Bar & Brasserie on Sunday, August 23 from 11am-5pm. Tickets are $69 per person, with optional two-hour Champagne package $55 Bookings are essential over here.
