Sink into a plush armchair at Parlour, on the ground floor of the sleek, luxury boutique hotel which is as colourful and theatrical as the adjacent State Theatre.

The Grand Sunday Brunch at Sheraton Grand Sydney Hyde Park is back by popular demand, albeit with a few considered tweaks. While some people visit Sydney and leave with postcards and tans; others are satisfied with a selfie at this now-weekly gathering. Seafood remains at the heart of the reimagined version of the hotel’s traditional and – dare we say it? – iconic Sunday brunch which has always been about showcasing Australia’s finest ocean bounty. The Grand Sunday Brunch is the grand-daddy of brunches and was inspired by the all-day dining culture so popular in Asia and Europe. There are vegetarian and vegan options, too.

The best bottomless brunches to book in Sydney are those that are relaxed and as free-flowing as a Camilla kaftan. Almost every corner of the city has a bottomless brunch and The Charles is one of the very best. The girl gangs gathered here around the tables are so stylish it feels like they are here for a photo shoot. In a way, I guess they are as their long nails pip-pop on their iPhones while they fix their hair and text their Hinge dates their ETA. The free-flowing experience is suitable for groups of four or more who converge here for the ‘Cello Spritz’ and a selection of wines served alongside a three-course shared menu. Summon the courage to ask DJ Illya to play your favourite song while you enjoy five bite-sized snacks such as crab and nduja linguine and gnocchi fritto.
