Begin your culinary journey at the oyster bar, showcasing internationally sourced oysters freshly shucked to perfection. Poached lobster, tiger prawns, and a touch of salmon caviar complete this decadent seafood selection, perfectly paired with champagne for a sparkling start to your brunch journey.
As the conversation flows, turn to the salads, cheeses, and cured meats. Vibrant salads like fennel and kale, heirloom tomato, and potato with mustard dressing offer a refreshing balance. The artisanal cheese and charcuterie selection, featuring creamy Brie de Meaux, Roquefort Papillon Noir, and beautifully cured salmon and seabass, adds a rich and savory depth. Sweet onion marmalade, local honey, and fresh grapes provide the perfect finishing touch to this indulgent course.
The centerpiece of the brunch is the roastery station, where British-inspired comfort meets gourmet artistry. The roast leg of lamb is sensational with its mint dressing. The roasted Black Angus sirloin is tender and flavorful, while the braised pork belly melts in your mouth. Golden roasted whole chicken rounds out the offerings, seasoned and cooked to perfection. Pair these with classic Yorkshire puddings, honey-roasted carrots, grilled broccolini, and the unforgettable Boulangère Potatoes—thinly sliced and baked in rich, savory gravy. This is comfort food elevated to its finest.
Finally, save room for the dessert station, a wonderland of sweet indulgence. Petite, bite-sized desserts like creamy tiramisu, caramelized crème brûlée, delicate lemon meringue, macarons, and chocolate mousse allow you to sample a variety of flavors. The lemon meringue, in particular, is a standout—the best you’ve ever tasted. And don’t forget the ice cream bar! Pair your desserts with a freshly brewed coffee, or elevate the moment with a Twist on the Irish Coffee! A delicious cocktail using Vietnamese coffee and featuring Marou Chocolate, as the perfect celebratory toast to your Sunday feast.
