Bottomless deals offer some of the best value when dining out in Sydney. But with so many delicious options to choose from, the challenge is deciding on where to go. We’re here to quell the choice overload in our latest edition of Specials Board, our series helping you take your dining dollar further.
Maiz
This Enmore Road gem’s bottomless “Barra Libre” is as much an education in traditional Mexican flavours and regional dishes as it is a good time. For $89 per person, you’ll have bottomless drinks as well all top hits from the menu. We love their addictive chat potatoes a la diabla with their fiery, toasty arbol sauce and zingy coriander yoghurt.

For $45 per person, choose between mariniere, chilli and tomato or yellow coconut curry sauce to coat your mussels.

Mop up stracciatella and 𝄒nduja with their house-made focaccia, and look forward to pasta dishes such as orecchiette with pork and fennel ragu.
