Hailed as possibly Tāmaki Makaurau’s original bottomless brunch, The Lula Inn had its finger on the pulse with its signature teal Prosecco flutes when it came to the rise of bottomless brunching.

The beautiful seaside eatery was the perfect setting for the first bottomless brunch sessions, situated right on the waterfront at the Viaduct with indoor and outdoor seating, a pumping DJ, and quick refills. Perfecting the not-quite-breakfast, not-quite-lunch meal, The Lula Inn delivers a quality brunch menu during their bottomless sessions – a feature that can often be overlooked at a bottomless brunch.

The South Pacific Eatery offers up Lula’s take on Eggs Benedict with dill and basil hollandaise, Corn Hash and poached eggs, Brûlée Banana Bread, and Smoked Beans on toast as a vegan option. Drinks-wise, they keep it simple (a blessing in disguise for those who fall victim to mixing drinks) with mimosas, Prosecco, and a Bloody Mary in case you’re both vulnerable from the night before but searching for a hair of the dog remedy.

Their 2-hour packages are enjoyed with good music, friendly vibes amongst other bottomless brunching guests, and post-brunch drink specials to carry you into the evening. Setting you back $47.50 per person, Lula’s is also one of the cheapest bottomless brunches – a steal for the quality of food and quantity of bubbles.

Overall, The Lula Inn’s bottomless brunch always has and always will be one of the most iconic and reputable brunches in the city. Getting a jump start on the trend will always play in their favour, and the constant innovation of their menu means you can keep coming back for more and more.

The now award-winning bottomless brunch is available to book every Saturday and Sunday, with sessions starting from 10am and 11am respectively.
