Melbourne Cup 2026 at Zaffi: The Rosé Garden Lunch
About the event
The race that stops the nation lands at The Rosé Garden, Zaffi Sydney's Melbourne Cup lunch and after-party experience, presented by Whispering Angel. Zaffi's rose-covered Little Hunter Street venue hosts a full race-day celebration: Lebanese halal sharing banquets, reserved seating, live entertainment, a DJ and MC, Melbourne Cup coverage on the big screens, race-day sweeps, and best-dressed competitions with prizes. Choose The Rosé Long Lunch at $99 per person — a generous banquet of manoosh, hummus, baba ganoush, burrata, sambousek, fattoush, spring chicken, slow-roasted lamb shoulder and dessert — or Race Day Express at $49 per person, an eight-dish sharing lunch made for CBD teams with seating from 12pm to 2:30pm. An optional three-hour beverage package is available for $49 per person. When the last race is run, the party continues — The Rosé Garden After Party kicks off at 5pm with DJs and Zaffi's late-night supper-club atmosphere, included with both packages. Bookings essential.
