Open For Lunch

Gather your taste buds and be a part of Sydney’s longest lunch as OPEN FOR LUNCH kicks off the Summer in Sydney events season.

Sydney’s CBD comes to life with mouthwatering, jaw-dropping, and FOMO-inducing lunch experiences in a foodie extravaganza.

Join us on the streets of George St as Sydney’s hospitality royalty including Luke Mangan’s glass brasserie, Merivale’s Jordan Toft (mimi’s) and Mike Eggert (Totti’s), Ben Milgate and Elvis Abrahanowicz (Porteño), Nola Smokehouse, Rockpool Bar and Grill and Anna Polyviou take centre stage to see the Sydney CBD activated in a once in a lifetime opportunity.

Four individual event precincts, spanning George Street from Park to Hunter Street, will see the diverse nature of Sydney’s dining scene come to life in a manner never before seen.With a little bit of something for everyone to choose:

- If you like sitting on hay bales, enjoying a delicious spin on a Nashville BBQ from Ben Milgate and Elvis Abrahanowicz (Porteño, Bodega x Wyno, Bastardo, Humble Bakery), sipping cold beers and Tennessee whiskey while listening to some good ‘ol country music from Nashville’s finest Joshua Hedley, you should probably dust off your boots and get yourself to The George Street Hoedown. 

- Take a boogie down George St at Merivale’s Disco Picnic, featuring a three-course meal from Jordan Toft - mimi’s and Mike Eggert - Totti’s, with entertainment by Groove City.

- Release your inner child and enjoy the carnival-themed food spectacular at the YCK Fair, featuring dishes from Cash Only Diner, Stitch Bar, Esteban, PS40 and The Barber Shop including never before seen collaborations with NOLA Smokehouse, Rockpool Bar & Grill and Dessert Queen, Anna Polyviou; or

- Visit the original home of George St’s OPEN FOR LUNCH at Feast for the Senses, where you can enjoy a three-course meal from Luke Mangan’s glass brasserie, with wines expertly matched by Sommelier, Samantha Payne and entertainment by Ministry of Sound Orchestra and guest vocalists.

Moving out west, OPEN FOR LUNCH in Parramatta takes place at CommBank Stadium, where diners are offered the opportunity to delight in a paddock to plate experience designed by Western Sydney born and raised, Matt Moran and delivered in collaboration with local restaurants, Ruse Bar and Grill and Julian Cincotta’s, Butter. Be entertained by an intimate Motown’s Greatest Hits special by Australian icons, Human Nature in a space brought to life under the guidance of one of Australia’s leading stylists, Noel Nassar.

OPEN FOR LUNCH is more than a Friday lunch outing. It is a larger-than-life celebration of what Sydney CBD and Parramatta does best: food, entertainment, and bringing people together. Diners will enjoy a once-in-a-life-time experience for only $65 (+ booking fees) per person which includes a seat at the table and a culinary experience like no other.
