If you can only make it to one brunch this summer (which would be a crime), make sure it is this one. The Conrad has teamed up with Perrier-Jouët for a decadent free-flow Sunday brunch experience, which they have aptly named, “Champagne Brunch on the Eighth”. The semi-buffet brunch features numerous food stations spread across two restaurants: Nicholini’s and Brasserie on the Eighth.

Look out for the Chinese station boasting dim sum, roasted Peking duck and crispy pork skin from the hotel’s Golden Leaf restaurant, and the al dente pasta kitchen station where diners can create their own dish. There is also a sushi and sashimi station, a seafood station and a cheese table to look forward to.

The à la carte menu is also a delight with not-to-be-missed items including home-made yogurt with mixed berry compote, braised beef short ribs and clams marinara with bruschetta. Brunch ends on a high note with a selection of desserts, including Nicholini’s tiramisu. Wash it all down with flutes of Perrier-Jouët to wrap up the weekend.

Uma Nota

Uma Nota has just kicked off its infectiously fun Carnaval Brunch for the summer and it promises to transport you from Hong Kong to Brazil’s own Carnaval do Rio. This particular brunch experience (which is only hosted on the second Saturday of every month) begins even before you start tucking in, with feather boas, flower crowns and extravagant masks for guests to wear.

On the food side, a range of dishes start the party: golden chicken and okra dumplings, crispy tapioca and cheese dices, and beef and portobello mushroom skewers. Mains of grilled sea bass in banana leaf and fried banana and cassava farofa, and pan-seared salt cured Angus beef are delicious. A banana and pumpkin stew, a vegetarian option, is also available but must be ordered 48 hours in advance. Brunch ends with chocolate mousse with a naughty hint of cachaça (a distilled spirit made of sugar cane juice).

Do not forget to swing by the Caipirinha Shack to make your own Brazilian cocktail with freshly chopped fruit – and do not forget to snap a few shots for Instagram. Another highlight is the live entertainment, from dancing staff to interactive drumming sessions, which will have you up on your feet and swaying to the music in no time.

FRANCIS

Over in Wan Chai, FRANCIS has launched its new weekend brunch menu featuring its signature Middle Eastern-inspired dishes with a Tel Aviv street food twist.

Brunch starts with a selection of meze, or small dishes, to share. Expect halloumi with pomegranate and wild oregano, as well as a salad of avocado, tomato labneh and za’atar spice mix. A choice of signature mains is also offered, including spicy shakshuka with eggs, tomato and harissa, kafta with spring lamb, beef, tahini and onion – and even hanger steak with lentils, smoked aubergine and coriander. Pair the meal with a selection of innovative cocktails (the Pick Me Up comes with harissa-infused vodka) or even “orange wines” which are white wines made using red winemaking techniques.

Address: 4 & 6 St Francis Street, Wan Chai
