1. Nicolini’s
The esteemed Italian institution housed inside the Conrad Hotel is famous for its authentic champagne brunch. This year chef Riccardo Catarsi created a sumptuous new menu from jet-fresh white truffles from Alba, Italy.
Diners can look forward to items like pan-fried foie gras, Jerusalem artichokes, sweet shallots and white truffle (HK$620, US$79, large portion), and end the meal with a divine white truffle chocolate parfait (HK$280).
