For the Dad who likes a long lunch, a little friendly competition or a gift that’s well considered, there’s plenty to enjoy this Father’s Day – even if you’re sticking with the card and socks. Here are our top six Father’s Day picks, from dining and drinks to gifts and things to do together.
Father’s Day is the perfect excuse to settle into a long lunch. Dine in at Pastore for an Italian feast. Expect wood-fired flavours, Sher Wagyu, slow-roasted porchetta and a suitably decadent chocolate finale. Dad gets a complimentary Peroni, too – the perfect way to top it all off. For a taste of tradition, take a seat at Shanghai Red for a banquet-style spread of favourites, from steamed xiao long bao to crispy duck pancakes and more.
Keep things casual with good food and a crisp cold drink. Make a beeline for Urban Alley Brewery where Dad receives a free schooner of Urban Draught on arrival. Or head to Fonda for feel-good Mexican feast, with tacos, burritos, bowls and plenty of guac.
Planning to celebrate at home? Set the table for Father’s Day with a few standout picks. Pick up a Tomahawk from Vic’s Butcher & Deli in The Market Pavilion, complete with complimentary Béarnaise sauce and creamy mash. Pair this with a custom labelled bottle of your choosing from Boutique Le Vin for the perfect Father’s Day pour.
Give his wardrobe a refresh with new-season shirts, chinos and tailoring – with plenty of reasons to retire that one pair he’s had since 2014. Find dedicated menswear at Superdry, plus bundle offers to enjoy from CALIBRE and Connor.
Prefer something more personal? Head to Mister Minit for engraving and personalisation across watches, wallets, tools and more – a sentimental touch to his everyday essentials.
Give Dad the five-star treatment at Hotel Chadstone. From luxurious rooms and an indoor heated pool to breakfast in Pastore – plenty of reasons to put his feet up.
