Make Melbourne Cup a long lunch in the heart of Brisbane CBD. Embassy Hotel’s Melbourne Cup horse racing luncheon starts from 11:30am on Tuesday 3 November 2026, with two courses and one drink included for $60 per person.

Bring your colleagues or catch up with friends over a race-day lunch, with a live soloist performing from 12pm to 3pm. It’s a great way to enjoy a Melbourne Cup celebration in the city.

Start with your choice of three entrées: Thai beef salad, prawn cocktail or vegetarian halloumi salad. Each guest can choose their own entrée and main from the Melbourne Cup set menu.

For your main, choose crispy skin salmon with mash potato, green beans and caper butter sauce; premium bacon-wrapped eye fillet with mash potato, seasonal vegetables and red wine jus; or vegetarian spinach and feta cannelloni with parmesan and sugo sauce.

Alongside lunch, enjoy live music from a soloist performing between 12pm and 3pm. With food, a drink and music all part of the occasion, it’s an inviting way to spend Cup Day at Embassy Hotel.
