Mardi Gras Sunday Bottomless Lunch

About

Tanuki, a Japanese izakaya in Double Bay, will host a Sunday bottomless lunch on 28 February 2027 to kick off the final week of Sydney Mardi Gras 2027, leading into Parade night. The event is designed as a relaxed, social way to start the countdown, bringing LGBTQIA+ community members, allies, friends and families together. With the festival already in full swing, the lunch offers a place to pause, gather and build momentum for the biggest week on Sydney’s calendar.

Guests will enjoy a lunch menu featuring Tanuki’s signature izakaya dishes, alongside free-flowing hand-crafted drinks. The menu is built for sharing, in keeping with the izakaya tradition of plates passed around the table and drinks topped up as the afternoon unfolds. It is a format that suits the occasion: long, generous and social, with no need to rush.

There will be DJs setting the mood across the afternoon, with the venue styled for the festival. The room will reflect the colour and spirit of Mardi Gras, creating a setting where guests can celebrate openly and comfortably.

Tanuki is an inclusive space where everyone is welcome to come as they are. The lunch celebrates the community that makes Mardi Gras what it is, giving guests the chance to reconnect with friends, meet new people and raise a glass to the week ahead. Whether guests are planning their Parade night or simply want to be part of the festival, this is a natural place to start.
