Equinox Restaurant

You wouldn't think that champagne brunches and kids would mix. But Equinox Restaurant has worked out a sweet deal for families with kids that actually works. On Sundays, the kids are given their own buffet line in their very own room (stocked with toys, games and a Nintendo Wii), allowing mums and dads to enjoy some time alone together.

In the company of a staff supervisor, kids can munch on mini-burgers, chicken nuggets, potato wedges, fruit salad and biscuits that they can decorate themselves.

The meal is free for kids under six years old, and $64 for those aged 6-12 (including access to the adult buffet).

Parents meanwhile, can enjoy fresh shellfish, sashimi, blinis and cheese accompanied by unlimited Champagne, wine, beer and cocktails.

You'll even have the luxury of a live music duo!

Just a head's up: It's best to book at least 2 weeks in advance.
