Silly Sri Lankan Snacks at Sleepys on (S)Thursdays
Multiple dates available
Holla friends! This Thursday good friend Viv will be taking over the kitchen, doing what's very, very close to our hearts here - silly Sri Lankan snacks! What better than alliteration than delicious snacks, especially Sri Lankan snacks??! A one time only ting, come book a spot before all the snacks sell!
Succulent Chinese Meal (for democracy manifest)
3 May 2025 only
Election night is here, and what better way to celebrate, than by eating and partaking in a Chinese banquet!? To be perfectly honest we thought this would just be a really funny reason to serve good people yummy food. $55 banquet menu where everyone eats a honey chicken riff, special fried rice riff, and a beef and black bean riff. Dietaries can be catered for with advance! Happy Election Day! (?)

One of my favourite restaurants in Melbourne, Sleepys effortlessly balances all the best parts of your casual local and the fine dining place you book months in advance. The food, the ambience, and the service; Sleepys is a packaged culinary experience, a venue that’ll have you leave with both your heart and your stomach full.
