A surprised foodie has taken to social media to ‘out’ a well-known Sydney eatery for charging a whopping $33 for a hot cross bun.

The A-list restaurant, Mimi’s in beach side Coogee, served the Easter treat as an ice-cream sandwich.

A video of the desert being prepared and served was posted to Instagram on Sunday by Marcus Kellet CEO of Ampersand Projects makers of the read-to-drink brand Vodka Sand &.

‘Jesus Christ was…$33,’ he wrote on the caption of selfie and including a pair of ‘eye-popping emojis.

The luxurious Mimi’s is owned by billionaire pub baron Justin Hemmes, and is known as a romantic rendezvous amongst the Harbour City’s elite. 

Hemmes himself debuted his relationship with model Madeline Holtznagel in November 2020.

The couple was spotted getting into Hemmes’ Rolls-Royce, parked right outside the restaurant.

Holtznagel, dining with her sister Simone, gently touched Hemmes’ back as they left the venue.

Their public display of affection set the tone for Mimi’s as the go-to place for high-profile romances.

Former Australian cricket captain Michael Clarke, 43, confirmed his romance with real estate guru Arabella Sherbourne while dining at the venue.

The couple was seen linking arms during a romantic lunch at Mimi’s last year  marking their first public outing together.

Former Australian Attorney-General Christian Porter also made headlines with his new partner, elite criminal lawyer Karen Espiner after stepping out at Mimi’s.

The couple dined with friends before heading to Will’s Beachside Cocktail Bar, part of the Coogee Pavilion back in February 2022.

This marked Porter’s first public appearance with Espiner since announcing his departure from politics.

Model Simone Holtznagel and personal trainer Jono Castano went public with their relationship at Mimi’s in May 2022.

The couple were photographed sharing a passionate kiss on the balcony as they captured the moment with selfies.

They struggled to keep their hands off each other, cuddling close together and chatting, each smiling fondly at the other.

Their affectionate display reinforced Mimi’s reputation as a romantic setting for Sydney’s elite.
