[title]Between shopping for presents, wrapping up work projects and trying to find time to see all your friends and family, the festive season can be a teeny bit stressful. But this year, you can take the hassle out of hosting your end-of-year celebration thanks to Lucas Restaurants – because nobody’s got time to slave away in the kitchen for hours when there’s fun to be had.
The hospo group is offering an array of fixed-price dining and drinking packages across its suite of impressive venues – including all your favourites like Society, Chin Chin, Kisumé and Hawker Hall. Whether you’re after a pizza party with a side of Spritzes, a traditional Japanese banquet or an elevated brasserie experience, there’s something to suit all group sizes and budgets.
If you want to be transported to the Mediterranean this Christmas, look no further than Baby. The exclusive Boozy Banchetto offer features all the classic Baby dishes – we’re talking arancini, burrata, pizza and pasta, plus drinks aplenty. Lock it in for lunch at $66 per person, or go the dinner edition for $88 per person. Book here.
Prepare to get all fired up over Yakimono’s flame-fuelled drinking and dining packages. The Sip and Setto lunch option is just $66 per person with unlimited beverages, and the menu includes karaage chicken, yuzu prawn gyozas, pork tonkatsu and barbecue corn ribs. Or gather six of your besties for dinner and you can pair any of the Setto menus with free-flowing sips for an extra $55 per person. And make sure you order a cocktail – our favourite is the Kiko Highball. Book here.
Feeling a bit bougie this festive season? You can’t go past one of Melbourne’s most elegant fine diners, Society. Treat yo’ self to the Society Social lunch menu or opt for the Chef’s Menu option for dinner and enjoy dishes featuring the freshest seasonal produce. And because you’re in a fancy mood, why not add on two hours of free-flowing drinks from $55 per person, or upgrade to the Champagne package for $95 per person – go on, we know you want to.

Next door at Lillian Brasserie, groups of six or more can celebrate a seasonal set lunch or dinner menu with free-flowing drinks for $55 or $95 per person. For that extra special touch, add on unlimited oysters, shucked fresh to order, for an additional $44 per person. Yes please! Book here.
If you haven’t dined at Chin Chin yet (a true Melbourne institution), now’s the perfect time. Round up six of your pals for any of the three pan-Asian Feed Me menus, with the option to add on bevvies for another $50 per person. It includes the classic kingfish sashimi, house-smoked brisket and a pad seuw with duck. The offer is available for lunch and dinner, every day of the week. Book here.
For a fusion of Japanese culinary traditions with contemporary Australian creativity, Kisumé is your go-to spot. With executive chef Yonge Kim at the helm of your culinary experience, you’ll sample everything from the freshest sushi and sashimi to Wagyu brisket. All accompanied by an extensive sake and wine list, of course. The two-course lunch with drinks is $120 per person, while the Chef’s Menu dinner option is an extra $55 per person. Book here.
It’s always a party down at Hawker Hall, and Christmas time is no exception. Head there for a boozy yum cha lunch with free-flowing drinks, at $66 per person. Dinner is also catered for, with an $88 per person boozy banquet, which pairs Hawker classics with unlimited bevvies. Now that’s a deal worth raising a glass to. Book here.
