This Christmas Day, skip the cooking and cleaning and let Mr. Meader Restaurant & Bar at Mercure Melbourne Doncaster do the hosting. Our festive buffet brings together the best of the season in one lavish spread — fresh-shucked Pacific oysters, peel-and-eat prawns, and poached Tasmanian salmon to start, followed by harissa-infused Victorian roast lamb, roast turkey with cranberry jelly, and baked barramundi with pomegranate salsa. Watch our chefs carve honey- and clove-glazed champagne ham and mustard-crusted porterhouse to order at our live carving station, then finish things off with a dessert table featuring traditional Christmas pudding, mini pavlova, and Belgian chocolate mousse cake.
Arrive to a complimentary glass of bubbles, with live music and family-friendly entertainment throughout your seating.
