Iconic Sydney Brunch Spot Delivers Unforgettable Vibes
Plus, it's in North Sydney, a great meeting place for a crew who live in all corners of the city.
It's RAFI Records' Bottomless Lunch, on every Saturday.
For $120 per head (and a minimum of only two people), you'll get share dishes and two hours of bottomless drinks.
For an extra $25pp, you can add an extra hour of bottomless drinks.
On the food menu are sourdough pitas and hummus, cucumber with labneh and crispy potatoes with French onion dip and chives. The main event is a grain-fed flat iron steak with black garlic butter.
My mouth is watering as I write this.
Drink-wise, there's lager, prosecco and three different wines, all Australian. And because it wouldn't be a brunch without, there's mimosas too.
The interiors are chic (like you'll want to move in chic). Think colourful, abstract art, towering pot plants and hanging paper lamps.
The restaurant's two floors with a massive outdoor area that wraps around the restaurant.
With a vinyl DJ playing tunes during the bottomless, RAFI Records' Bottomless Lunch really does serve up ~God tier~ vibes.
Happy brunching! Drink responsibly.

‘I wasn't going to show the violence': S.F.-raised Eva Victor on ‘Sorry, Baby'
Eva Victor was back in their hometown, the final stop on a press tour for their critically lauded debut feature, and they were ready to party. But first, Victor, who uses they/she pronouns, demanded perfect attendance during a Q&A on Tuesday, July 1, after a crowded screening at the Alamo Drafthouse New Mission theater of ' Sorry, Baby,' which Victor wrote, directed and stars in. 'Good night!' Victor said to laughter as a couple was walking out just as the discussion got started. 'If you leave, I will call you out, it will be horrible for you. Don't leave!' Victor, best known for a recurring role in the Showtime series ' Billions,' is trained as a comedian; they have performed at SF Sketchfest when they were with the satirical website Reductress and was very entertaining as they discussed 'Sorry, Baby.' But while the movie has sharply funny moments, it is a serious and unique drama about Agnes (Victor), a woman processing a sexual assault — called 'the bad thing' — and her life-saving friendship with Lydie (Naomi Ackie of ' Blink Twice ' and ' Mickey 17 '). While Victor insists the film, which counts Barry Jenkins (' Moonlight ') as a producer, is 'narrative fiction,' it is based on an incident they experienced and admitted to the audience, 'I made this film about a time and experience when I felt very unheard, and it means the world for you to be here and listen to what I have to say.' Hours earlier, during a Chronicle interview at the 1 Hotel, Victor said, 'I really wanted to write a film about trying to heal. … It was a real joy to fictionalize an emotional truth in my life.' Victor was born in Paris, but their family moved to San Francisco when they were 2. They went to the International School from kindergarten through 12th grade before going to theater school at Northwestern University. This conversation has been edited for length and clarity. A: When I was a kid, we lived in the Marina, and my favorite place to go was on a walk to Crissy Field, go to the Warming Hut, get a cup of cocoa. That's a nice spot. Q: Did you enjoy school? A: It broke my brain, and I still don't know if I've recovered. The best part of it was my junior year of high school. I started doing theater, and that was amazing because (Berkeley-based actor) Michelle Haner was my teacher, and I was in 'Spring Awakening,' the musical, and my director was Brad Korman. They were both incredibly supportive teachers and treated me like an adult and took me seriously. And that made me want to go to theater school as a college student. So I'm very grateful for them. Q: How in touch are you with your French heritage? A: I would love to get French citizenship. Once I got a job on a TV show, I got to have a little more money so I could go to France. I feel very, very connected to Paris. It was very fun to go to the Cannes Film Festival (in May). I think it's beautiful, and I would love to spend more time there. Q: Your previous directorial experience consists mainly of comic videos you made on social media. How did you come to direct 'Sorry, Baby'? A: It was definitely intimidating. I didn't want something to get lost in me taking on too much. I wrote this really privately, just in a house by myself with my cat, and I was desperate for someone to read it, like I didn't want to be alone with it. I really wanted to act in the role, and I thought, 'Well, we can hire someone to direct it.' Then I went to think about it for a month or so and quickly realized I desperately wanted to direct it. I just needed to figure out how. So I spent a couple of years preparing to direct in various ways. I knew how I wanted it to look and feel. I just needed to learn how to communicate that to heads of department, who will then ideally challenge you on your vision. The nice thing about directing the film is you spend a lot of time building the film with other people, and then you shoot it and direct it. It's like this really long journey of creation together. Q: A key casting choice was who would play Lydie. How did you find Naomi? A: We met, and she was just such a warm ray of light. I'd seen ' Lady Macbeth ' (2016) and the Whitney Houston movie (2022's ' Whitney Houston: I Wanna Dance With Somebody '). I was so overwhelmed by how goofy she was. The universe sent her to me, and on set, it just clicked. Q: You chose not to show 'the bad thing' but instead show her walking into the place where it happened, then later walking out. Why? A: I always knew I wasn't going to show the violence. It was for a person like I was who couldn't sit through a film like that; it would turn my body into shock mode, and I didn't want to put anyone through that. Her body goes in, but I don't think her spirit does. I think this might be more of a memory of what that experience was like. It's frozen and disconnected. So it's kind of out of body.

Julian McMahon's Last Appearance Now Seen In New Light Following Death
Hollywood is mourning the loss of J, the charismatic Australian-American actor best known for his role as Dr. Christian Troy on "Nip/Tuck," who passed away this week at age 56 following a private battle with cancer. McMahon's wife, Kelly, confirmed the heartbreaking news on Friday, revealing the beloved actor had been fighting the disease quietly and bravely out of the public eye. Julian McMahon's final public appearance came just four months ago at SXSW in Austin, Texas, where he walked the red carpet with to promote their film "The Surfer." McMahon, noticeably thinner and more fragile, managed a warm smile for photographers despite his declining health. Dressed in a blue checked blazer that hung loosely on his frame, he stood proudly alongside Cage outside the Zach Theatre. The photos were shared by the Daily Mail. Now that fans are aware of his private battle with cancer, his noticeably frail appearance takes on new meaning. The movie had premiered at Cannes the year prior and marked what would be one of McMahon's final roles. Following news of his death, Cage paid tribute to his co-star, calling him 'one of my favorite people.' 'I spent six weeks working with Julian, and he was the most talented of actors,' Cage said in a statement to Deadline. 'Our scenes together on 'The Surfer' were amongst my favorites I have ever participated in. He was a kind and intelligent man. My love to his family.' McMahon, who began his acting career in his native Australia on the long-running soap "Home and Away," quickly rose to international fame. After landing roles on "Profiler and Charmed," he became a household name as the seductive and complex Dr. Christian Troy on FX's "Nip/Tuck," a role that earned him a Golden Globe nomination in 2004. In more recent years, McMahon starred as Jess LaCroix on CBS's "FBI: Most Wanted," leading the crime drama from its 2020 debut until his departure in 2022. Fans were surprised by his exit, unaware of his behind-the-scenes health struggles. In her statement, Kelly, whom Julian married in a private Lake Tahoe ceremony in 2014, spoke to his passion for life, family, and craft. The couple had been together for over a decade, and theirs was McMahon's third marriage. He was previously wed to Australian pop star Dannii Minogue from 1994 to 1995, and later to "Baywatch" actress Brooke Burns from 1999 to 2001. He and Burns shared one daughter, Madison Elizabeth McMahon, now 25. In a statement to Deadline on July 4, Paniagua confirmed that Julian passed away from cancer a few days earlier in Clearwater, Florida. 'Julian loved life. He loved his family. He loved his friends. He loved his work, and he loved his fans. His deepest wish was to bring joy into as many lives as possible," she said in her statement. "We ask for support during this time to allow our family to grieve in privacy. And we wish for all of those to whom Julian brought joy, to continue to find joy in life. We are grateful for the memories." As news of Julian McMahon's passing continued to ripple through Hollywood, his "Charmed" co-star Alyssa Milano paid a deeply personal tribute to the late actor, remembering him not just as a colleague but as a cherished friend. Taking to Instagram on Friday night, Milano shared a carousel of photos capturing their years together on set, alongside a heartfelt caption reflecting on their bond. 'I'm heartbroken. Julian McMahon was magic. That smile. That laugh. That talent. That presence,' she wrote. 'He walked into a room and lit it up, not just with charisma, but with kindness. With mischief. With soulful understanding.' The two portrayed iconic on-screen couple Phoebe Halliwell and Cole Turner throughout several seasons of "Charmed," but according to Milano, their connection ran much deeper than television chemistry. As tributes pour in, fans and co-stars alike are remembering McMahon not just for his undeniable on-screen talent, but for his quiet strength, humility, and kindness. His family has asked for privacy as they grieve, but hope his legacy will live on through the roles he played and the joy he brought to so many.
