With the Easter long weekend on the horizon we have decided to devise a brief guide on how to spend your four luxurious days off work. While we agree, it is very tempting to stay indoors and eat your fair share of chocolate eggs, this list should have you rushing out of the house, eggs in hand and pocket.
The Morrison & Oyster Room
Chef, Sean Connolly tempts you to ditch the standard breakfast for a luscious Easter weekend dining experience at the Morrison, open Fri – Mon. The appetizing and bespoke menu will impress the best for $65pp. Enjoy their signature oysters as well as favourites such as, the whole roast flounder, lamb shoulder and gravlax of salmon. Make sure you leave room for an indulgent gourmet Easter egg dessert!

Lindt Chocolate Tower
In Celebration of Easter, Sydney Tower Eye and Lindt Chocolate have partnered up to create a chocolate replica of our iconic Sydney Tower scaled 1:100. The 2metre chocolate Tower will be hand crafted by Thomas Schnetzler, Maitre Chocolatier at Lindt Australia. The best part is, if you come along to the show and you will be in the running to win the equivalent weight of chocolate used to make the sculpture in an assortment of Lindt chocolate.

Max Brenner
As we would expect, Max Brenner, Sydney´s favourite chocolate hot spot, is going above and beyond this weekend for Easter. Stop into this chocolate factory for a rich and delicious chocolate fantasy.

Hot Cross Bun Burger Challenge
If you´ve overdosed on chocolate and crave something savoury, get your hands on a hot cross bun burger. The Bizarre Hot Cross Bun Burger Challenge stretches across some of Sydney´s best pubs and restaurants, the task to create the best and most original burger, using Easter as inspiration. The Dolphin Hotel presents the Hot Cross Burn, an Angus beef patty and habanero sauce while the The Commodore dishes up the Hot Cross Bunny, made of beer braised rabbit, Portobello mushroom and creole mustard. The pubs in the running include the aforementioned, as well as The Carrington, Santa Barbara, The Abercrombie, The Norfolk and The Forresters, see the Forrie´s Easter Burger above.
