The Exclusive Champagne Lunch To Attend
Saint Alice Staff Meals Are Now A Thing
Viaduct hotspot Saint Alice is known for the stunning views and delicious dishes served up from the kitchen’s expert team of chefs. Their latest menu idea has us very excited and for good reason, you can now order 'staff meals'. Typically thrown together when hospo staff are given a chance to catch their breath and fuel up before a busy service, staff meals are what the talented team whip up for their own bellies. The Lunch Like Our Chefs menu which includes southern fried chicken on a 'dusty apron' brioche bun, croque monsieur and crumbed snapper tortillas, is served Monday-Friday from 11.30am to 3pm and all meals are $19. Get amongst the goodness ASAP.
