The Lucas Group’s silly season has well and truly begun, with a stack of dining and drink options to ease the pressure off your social calendar planning.
From fiery Japanese-leaning banquettes at Yakimono, to celebrating the lavish life at Society, here’s our round-up of what’s on offer this November and December:
Baby Pizza
The silliness is free-flowing over at Baby Pizza—their limited edition Boozy Banchetto offers a Mediterranean-leaning menu (like melon and prosciutto, a selection of pizzas and stracciatella with baby cucumbers), paired with endless bevs. For $66 unlock the lunch menu and 1.5 hours of drinks, or lineup dinner for $88, with two hours of sipping.
Yakimono
Yakimono’s $89pp Sip & Setto deal serves up a multi-course lunch filled with Yaki classics cooked over fire, while unlimited specialty cocktails (passionfruit spritz, Kiko highball or Yaki espresso martini) are shaken and stirred. For a decently sized soiree, with six or more mates, score yourself the dinner offering for $55 each.
Society Dining Room
For a night of high-end dining, inspired by restaurateur Chris Lucas’ time in Paris and New York, Society Dining Room is equipped with both a set lunch and dinner menu, showcasing the finest seasonal produce. To feel even more like a baller, settle in with free-flowing drinks from $55pp, in addition to your meal.
Lillian Brasserie
Society’s euro-leaning Brasserie is offering groups of six or more to relish in bottomless bevs from $55pp to go with their seasonal set menu. The indulgence extends to the fresh Australian oysters, which can be endlessly shucked to order for $44pp.
Kisumé
Kisumé is providing a two-course contemporary Japanese lunch, with two hours of unlimited drinks for $120pp, in all its sleek, intimate and theatrical glory. Larger groups can add on free-flowing drinks for an additional $55pp to any of the Chef’s Menus (that of famed Yonge Kim).
Chin Chin Melbourne
Silly reason is rampant at Melbourne's Chin Chin, where pan-Asian cuisine, contemporary art and cocktails are the backdrop to long lunches and dinners. Groups of six or more can snatch up bottomless bevs for an extra $50pp on top of one of Chin Chin's famous Feed Me feasts.
Hawker Hall
For the daytime indulgers, Hawker Hall has dialled up a Boozy Yum Cha, with free-flowing drinks, for a steal of $66pp. If you’re more of a night owl, there’s also an $88pp Boozy Banquet for dinner, pairing Hawker’s Asian-fusion dishes with unlimited sips, under neon lights.
