Bar Patrón’s Long Lunch is eight courses of Mexican share plates, 90 minutes of cocktails and a Harbour Bridge view from Circular Quay.
Eight Courses, 90 Minutes, One View
Eight courses. Ninety minutes of drinks. A seat above Circular Quay with floor-to-ceiling windows facing the water.
The Long Lunch runs daily from 12pm to 2:30pm.
Dishes come out progressively, so there’s no rush and no pile-up. The guacamole with cashews and totopos lands first and sets the tone immediately. The pumpkin empanadas with Oaxaca cheese and salsa verde are a standout mid-menu. The wagyu cheek taco on blue corn tortilla with chipotle is the kind of dish people mention on the way out.
Churros with spiced hot chocolate and Carlota sauce close it out. By then, ninety minutes have passed without anyone noticing.
Order the Spicy Margarita
The 90-minute drinks package includes Bar Patrón’s classic margarita, spicy margarita and paloma, alongside Patrón Lager, Bandini Prosecco and South Australian wines from the Barossa Valley, Adelaide Hills and Langhorne Creek.
The spicy margarita gets its own mention in almost every guest review. One diner called it “a perfect winter version of a summer drink.” It earns that. Order it first.
The Room, the Noise, the Energy
Bar Patrón has a happy, positive energy that’s hard to manufacture. It gets lively, especially on weekends, but in the best possible way. The staff are a big part of that. Service is attentive without hovering, and the team genuinely engages with the table rather than just managing it.
Positioned steps from the Opera House, it also works well as a pre-show long lunch in Sydney CBD. The location at Circular Quay means you’re arriving by train, ferry or bus and walking straight in.
Book the Long Lunch
Bar Patrón’s Long Lunch is one of the best long lunch experiences Sydney CBD offers in 2026, and the daily availability means you’re not locked into a weekend slot.
