    Aria Restaurant Sydney

    Sydney CBD, Sydney, New South Wales

    Aria executive chef Tom Gorringe is putting on a limited-edition long weekend seafood spread ($300pp) that’s a celebration of the best of the sea. Soak up the views of the Opera House and harbour while sinking into a six-course tasting menu that begins with a luxurious dish of scarlet prawn with potato, caviar and buttermilk, and also stars pasta with black marron. Finish the meal with a rich chocolate-y, coffee-spiked dessert.

  • La Boca Bar and Grill at Stamford Plaza Brisbane

    Brisbane CBD, Brisbane, Queensland

    Every day of the Easter long weekend, stylish Argentinian restaurant La Boca is dishing up a seafood buffet ($149pp) stocked with locally sourced seafood – think barramundi ceviche, Moreton Bay bugs, smoked salmon and Pacific oysters. But it’s not a seafood-only affair. It’s also going hard on the Argentinian delicacies such as empanadas, and pork belly and Wagyu cooked in a firepit, plus Latin American-inspired veggie dishes including fried plantain with speck and spinach, and paprika-dusted roast potatoes with bacon and sour cream. The sweet ending also draws from that part of the world: churros, alfajores and dulce de leche cheesecake are all on the pass.

    Glebe, Sydney, New South Wales

    Spend Easter in the peachy surrounds of this charming Glebe diner, which is doing Easter a little differently with an Oaxacan-inspired brunch ($65) on Sunday March 31. Sip on a welcome cocktail before you dive into an extravagant five-course menu of mezcal-infused oysters, lobster tacos and octopus chorizo with crispy potatoes. While chocolate isn’t on the menu, a fig leaf creme caramel ends proceedings on a sweet note.

  • Tillerman

    Brisbane CBD, Brisbane, Queensland

    Gaze out at Tillerman’s unbeatable views of Brisbane River as you tuck into its Easter seafood banquet ($115pp). It’s a rollcall of showstoppers, including oven-baked scallops on the half-shell served with brioche to sop up leftover scallop roe butter; pan-fried barramundi fillet with a hedonistic truffle tartare; chilli-prawn linguine; and, a dramatic finale in the form of rum-and-raisin deep-fried ice-cream with cognac salt.
