Whoever said breakfast is the most important meal of the day has obviously never stumbled out of a bottomless brunch alongside their besties with a case of the giggles after consuming two bottles of prosecco a piece.
Creating a culture where it is considered totally normal to down six cocktails alongside a plate of smashed avo and feta toast, these brunches are totally worth the hype.
So, forget the Sunday Scaries and embrace the hair of the dog at Melbourne’s best bottomless brunch spots.
Loop Rooftop
3/23 Meyers Pl, Melbourne VIC 3000
Get a taste of bottomless brunch with a view at Loop Rooftop. Located down an alley way just off of Bourke Streets, Loop holds many secrets and surprises inside. Situated on level 3, there’s no better place for an espresso martini at 12pm than an open air rooftop terrace under the warmth of Melbourne’s winter sun.
At only $60, Loop’s Bottomless Brunch is a two hour long experience of free flowing cocktails and limitless house beer, wines and prosecco paired with a delicious meal. With mouth-watering choices of roast duck arancini, roast pork belly bao buns and more, it’s almost too easy to line your stomach!
Running from 12-2pm every Saturday, Loop Rooftop focuses more on the ‘unch’ part of brunch, however, their cocktails are superb at any hour of the day. Pick from the classics, or experiment a little, maybe with a show stopping blackberry cheesecake vodka cocktail. You can even get a taste of Loop Rooftops vertical garden by ordering the Savage Garden, with vodka, Midori, Crème de Voilette, lavender & fresh lime!
Whilst the stairs up are totally worth the stunning views of Melbourne’s cityscape, it may prove a challenge after two hours of free flowing cocktails and fun with your best mates.
Mamma’s Boy
6/10 Tripovich St, Brunswick VIC 3056
Boy oh boy, if you are up for a challenge, Mamma’s Boy’s bottomless brunch has definitely got you covered.

Pair your steaming bowl of potatoey heaven with a rotating spritz menu, tropical punches and mojitos, all for the cheap price of $65.
Still not convinced? All gnocchi is served with garlic bread… see you there!
