Now that Halloween is over, it’s officially time to hit play on Mariah Carey’s greatest hits and let the festive vibes flow.
And there’s no better place to get into the Christmas spirit than Brookfield Place who are transforming into Santa’s wonderland complete with epic decorations (think: giant Christmas gnomes), drool-worthy curated foodie experiences, plus incredible giveaways up to $1K.
Nestled in Perth’s bustling CBD, Brookfield Place is home to a slew of epic installations, bars and restaurants that are ready to make the lead-up to Xmas very merry indeed with exclusive, chef-curated Christmas menus and tipples.
Each venue is offering personalised Christmas bonbons, adding a unique touch to your festive dining experience. When you make a purchase at one of Brookfield Place’s venues, you’ll receive a festive bonbon, with five containing a coveted golden ticket that holds a $1,000 voucher to spend at Brookfield Place.
But there’s no need to turn into a Grinch if you don’t snag a golden ticket. There are loads of amazing prizes (read: sweet discounts and more vouchers) hidden inside the bonbons and festive cellarbrations throughout the season, ensuring everyone will score something special this festive season.
So which events should you explore and what gastronomic treaties can you expect at Brookfield Place?
Consider this your festive hit list:
'Tis The Season With Local Events
Brookfield Place has decked the halls (literally) with events all month long to welcome in the festive season. Take a stroll through vibrant botanical arches adorned with shimmering lights and seasonal decor in between your reservations. Keep an eye out from now until Friday January 3 for the six towering festive gnomes hidden throughout the precinct, just waiting for a perfect photo op.
If you're like us and looking to get a head start on Christmas shopping, stop by from 11am to 2pm Tuesday December 19 to Thursday December 21 for their Christmas markets. With over 15 artisan and maker stalls—including sweet treat favorites like Fudge Affairs and Lemon Aid Originals—you’ll be able to swap the holiday rush and for thoughtful, locally-made gifts for friends and family.
The Heritage
As if you needed another reason to snag a table at this achingly chic wine bar and restaurant, The Heritage is making your Christmas foodie dreams come true with a menu that puts your Aunty’s festive spread to shame.
Think, a selection of Christmas-inspired dishes using only the finest local ingredients. If you’re still sussing out where to have your end-of-year catch-up with your mates or work colleagues—The Heritage is it. And just to make the anticipation of your bonbon pull even bigger, inside you could find discounts of up to 20% across The Heritage, the Wine Bar & Restaurant, Wine Store & Bottle Shop, and Bobeche Cocktail Bar.
Print Hall
Multi-level drinking, dining and dancing precinct Print Hall is transforming into a festive playground, with every corner offering a unique experience to make your celebration unforgettable.
Opt for a rooftop soiree under the stars at Bob's, devour a vibrant feast at Apple Daily or transport your taste buds to Italy at STAMPA! There are also private dining experiences available in the Chairman’s Boardroom if you’re after something extra spesh. Print Hall diners could win complimentary tiramisu at STAMPA! (it slaps) or prawn toast at Apple Daily in their bonbons.
W Churchill
If you’ve been craving a British Christmas (Love, Actually anyone?) then slip into a leather booth at W Churchill. The moodily lit English-style gin bar oozes wintery Christmas vibes with moody lighting, dark timber and plush furnishings.
There are 10 beers on tap and a 200+ gin menu to work your way through, but for the festive season, their talented mixologists have concocted the Christmas Fizz combining Hayman's sloe gin, Luxardo cherry liqueur, plum liqueur, lime and lemon, topped off with a smooth foam of egg whites. It’s Christmas in a glass.
The bonbons here include some seriously sweet surprises, like $150 vouchers, two-for-one cocktails, 10% off your bill, or complimentary prosecco and Aperol Spritz with select meals.
Bar Lafayette
Recently snagging the title of WA’s best cocktail bar, it would be rude not to stop by Bar Lafayette for a tipple—especially when it’s inspired by the first lady of Christmas.
Mrs Claus is sure to become your fave Christmas cocktail. The smooth sip blends RHUBI Mistelle, agricole white rum and falernum with fresh grapefruit and lime juices.
At Bar Lafayette, lucky bonbon winners can enjoy two-for-one cocktails, 10% off their bill, free bar snacks, or a complimentary espresso martini.
Papi Katsu
If you’re looking for a delish dining experience to share with everyone from your lover to your work wife, Papi Katsu will not disappoint.
The Japanese fusion eatery serves up top notch vibes, and a menu you’ll crave again and again. We’re talking poached Cambinata yabbies with brown butter mayo, wagyu beef tataki with yuzu ponzu and cauliflower katsu.
To celebrate Christmas, Papi Katsu diners could score a complimentary cocktail, large dish, or sashimi platter. Yes, please.
Whether you are planning a festive stroll or a gathering with your work crew, Brookfield Place is the ultimate holiday destination this year.
