Where Saturdays Come Alive in the Heart of the CBD
Tucked away in the heart of the city, The Stables has always carried a sense of escape. It’s hidden just enough to feel special, open just enough to feel inviting and layered with the sort of character that only older buildings turned modern playgrounds tend to have. On Saturdays, that charm takes on a life of its own. Bottomless Botanicals transforms the venue into a floral, colourful, softly chaotic afternoon of cocktails, shared plates and lush garden vibes. It’s not quiet, it’s not predictable and it’s definitely not your typical brunch. It’s two hours of immersive energy wrapped in greenery, fragrance, music and food that hits harder than you expect.
The moment you walk through the courtyard, the world outside slips away. The space feels intimate yet lively, whimsical yet grounded, like a hidden garden party thrown by someone with an eye for mood and a love for dramatic detail. There’s no pretence, just atmosphere. Floral arrangements, greenery, colour and movement mix with the sounds of a DJ easing people into the afternoon. It’s the kind of setting that makes you instinctively relax, lean in and decide that today is going to be a good day.
A Botanical-Themed Afternoon Built Around Flavour and Colour
A Menu That Grows, Evolves and Surprises
The Stables has crafted a three-course menu for Bottomless Botanicals that leans into seasonal ingredients, fresh flavours and dishes designed to be shared without slowing the energy of the room. The kitchen avoids the heavy, the predictable and the overly sweet in favour of bright, fragrant dishes that feel right at home in a garden-inspired setting. You don’t need to order, decide or negotiate with the table. Everything appears progressively throughout the session, served in a way that encourages tasting, sharing and returning for another bite before the plate disappears.
While the dishes change slightly depending on availability, the structure remains constant: flavours that hit the right balance between richness and freshness, plates that pair nicely with cocktails and desserts that finish the meal with just the right amount of indulgence. Whether you enjoy citrus, spice, creamy textures or tropical notes, the food unfolds with intention. Even the dietary versions, which are crafted separately, follow the same philosophy: vibrant, colourful and satisfying, not an afterthought. It’s brunch with imagination — not complicated, just clever.
A Dessert Finish That Matches the Theme
Desserts at Bottomless Botanicals tend to echo the energy of the room. They often carry bright flavours, tropical notes or silky, fragrant finishes. It’s a sweet moment that doesn’t weigh you down, a final flourish that keeps the mood lifted. That’s the beauty of this brunch: everything is designed to maintain flow rather than interrupt it. Nothing arrives too heavy, too sweet or too sudden. It’s a smooth curve from start to finish.
The Drinks: Bright, Botanical and Bottomless
Cocktails With a Colour Palette of Their Own
One of the standout features of Bottomless Botanicals is the cocktail list. Instead of focusing on classics, The Stables leans into fun, botanical flavours, bright garnishes and drinks that feel like part of the interior design. These cocktails change, rotate and evolve across the season, but the theme stays consistent: refreshing, colourful, fragrant and very much in tune with the garden-party feel of the afternoon. You’ll see herbs, citrus, florals and spritz-style flavours making an appearance, all poured steadily throughout the two hours.
Options for Every Kind of Guest
The drinks service here is designed to be inclusive. If you’re drinking, there’s an abundance of cocktails, prosecco and selected wines pouring freely. If you’re not drinking, the non-alcoholic options are just as thoughtful, with mocktails that taste grown-up rather than sweet and simple. The team at The Stables treats non-drinkers as proper guests with proper drinks, not an afterthought. You’re part of the experience regardless of what’s in your glass.
A Flow That Never Breaks the Vibe
What keeps the afternoon feeling seamless is the pacing. The staff move through the venue with a rhythm that matches the mood. Glasses never sit empty for long, but nothing feels rushed. You’re not overwhelmed, you’re not left waiting, and you’re not fighting your way to a bar. Everything is table service, thoughtful and steady. It’s the kind of bottomless experience that makes two hours fly past without you noticing the time.
The Stables Atmosphere: A Secret Garden With a Pulse
A Setting That Carries Its Own Story
The Stables is already known for its layered layout, textured spaces and charming blend of old architecture with modern energy. For Bottomless Botanicals, these foundations come alive. The floral theme weaves through every corner. Greenery fills the sightlines. Natural light spills across the courtyard. Inside, the mood deepens with soft shadows, music and the hum of conversation that grows louder as the drinks keep flowing.
It’s the kind of space where you feel comfortable being slightly extra. The setting suits bright outfits, statement sunglasses and groups who want their afternoon to look as good as it feels. It’s playful without being childish, elegant without being stiff and colourful without being overwhelming. Most importantly, it feels cohesive. Every detail ties back into the botanical theme, creating a sense of immersion that you don’t often find at a city brunch.
DJ Sets That Bring the Afternoon to Life
The DJ is a core part of Bottomless Botanicals. The music sets the pace, starting lighter and warmer, then building softly as the afternoon unfolds. It’s not club energy, and it’s not background café noise. It sits in a sweet spot where people can talk easily while still feeling that pull of rhythm underneath their conversation. By the final half-hour, the atmosphere tends to bloom into its own. Laughter gets louder. Drinks get brighter. The room feels alive in a way that’s hard to recreate anywhere else.
Who Loves Bottomless Botanicals
A Perfect Home for Celebrations, Catch-Ups and Colourful Moments
The guests who book Bottomless Botanicals tend to have one thing in common: they want an afternoon that feels like an experience, not just a seat at a table. Some come to celebrate birthdays, engagements, milestones or promotions. Others show up simply because Saturday deserves something fun built into it. Groups fill the courtyard with colour, couples tuck into corners for a more intimate feel and groups of friends gather ready to make the most of two hours they’ve been waiting for all week.
It’s the kind of brunch that suits planners, spontaneous bookers and everyone in between. You can dress up, dress down, bring a crew or arrive as a duo. The Stables makes space for all of it.
An Afternoon That Feels Effortless
What makes Bottomless Botanicals memorable is how little effort it requires from guests. You book ahead, you arrive on time and everything else is taken care of. The team handles the pacing, the courses, the drinks and the flow. You simply show up and let the venue do what it does best. The entire experience is designed to feel immersive, effortless and indulgent without overcomplicating anything.
Why Bottomless Botanicals Stands Out
A Fully Realised Theme That Actually Works
Lots of venues attempt themed brunches. Few commit to a theme so thoroughly and execute it so cleanly. The botanical concept at The Stables isn’t a loose idea or a handful of decorations. It’s built into the food, the drinks, the music, the setting and even the energy of the staff. It feels cohesive, intentional and genuinely fun. Nothing feels forced, and everything contributes to the feeling of stepping into something special.
A Saturday That Leaves You Glowing
Guests often walk out of Bottomless Botanicals with the kind of glow you only get from a genuinely good afternoon: a mix of sunshine, cocktails, shared plates and the electric feeling of having spent those hours exactly where you wanted to be. It lingers with you — in the best way.
The Bottom Line: Bottomless Botanicals Is Saturday in Full Colour
Bottomless Botanicals at The Stables is built for people who want their weekends to feel vibrant, social and rich in atmosphere. It’s two hours of garden-party energy wrapped in a venue that knows how to host. With its three-course shared menu, bottomless drinks, immersive design and music that guides the afternoon from start to finish, it’s one of the most visually and emotionally satisfying brunch experiences in the city.
Bookings are essential, and sessions fill quickly, especially for larger groups or special celebrations. Once you’re seated, the real world fades and the afternoon blooms around you. If you’re chasing a brunch that feels alive, colourful and unforgettable, The Stables delivers a Saturday that flourishes from the first sip to the last.
