The Easter long weekend is certainly looking a little different this year, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t let your hair down and rip in to a boozy brunch. This Saturday, April 11, Panama House is bringing the party to your place and hosting Australia’s first-ever ‘Virtual Brunch’.
It’ll be pretty much exactly the same as the bottomless bonanza that takes place at the Central American Bondi hotspot every weekend, but in your dining room. The restaurant will be delivering DIY meal kits in the morning (tortilla chips and guacamole to start, with your choice of eggs or enchiladas, as well as a salad) and live-streaming DJs from noon-3pm via Zoom. Are you encouraged to dress up and rope as many mates into joining in via FaceTime, Houseparty or the app of your choosing? Absolutely.
As far as the drinks go, you get to pick between a Bloody Mary or a Paloma to get you started, and then select your main drink – a bottle of rosé, make-your-own Mimosas or eight beers. If you want to take it the extra mile, you can add more Bloody Marys, Margaritas or Espresso Martinis to your order (and since you’re not driving or spending the money on transport, why wouldn’t you?).
The $99 price tag includes the three-course meal for two and the drinks (add-on cocktails cost $26 for two serves) as well as delivery to Bondi, Bondi Junction, Tamarama, Coogee, Rose Bay and Dover Heights (delivery to other areas can be arranged for an additional fee).
Believe it or not, even the digital brunch world is exclusive – there are only 75 spots available and bookings close Thursday, April 9, at noon.
