Celebrity Life

Weekends in Hong Kong are all about the brunches, especially the bottomless brunches -- those that not only top up your glass of bubbly but keep your plate and belly full. So whether you’re after a seafood feast, fine Italian cuisine or endless orders of dumplings, we’ve rounded up our picks for the best bottomless brunches to take your weekends to the next level.

Tosca

With chef Angelo Aglianó at the helm of Michelin-starred Tosca at the Ritz-Carlton, it’s no wonder that the new weekend lunch now spotlights seafood. His Sicilian background spent by the Mediterranean seaside translates to some exquisite frutti di mare dishes along with extravagant seasonal highlights to choose from. Veering away from the buffet-style brunches, Tosca offers guests a choice for each course -- from antipasti (starters) to primi piatti (pastas and risotto) and secondi piatti (main course) to dessert -- on top of free-flow champagne options. Make sure to try the Boston lobster salad with fresh burrata, mezzi paccheri pasta with Sicilian red shrimp, and seared line-caught sea bass, finished with a rich and smooth traditional tiramisu.

Bostonian Seafood & Grill

As if brunch couldn’t get any more indulgent, the Bostonian Seafood & Grill at The Langham does one better by launching a four-hour version with continuous pours of Perrier-Jouët Champagne. The brunch not only features a Caesar salad station, an impressive ham and cheese table, and signature hot dishes brought to your table, but it also begins triumphantly with the restaurant’s signature seafood tower packed with fresh oysters, Alaskan crab legs, prawns and jade whelks. Other highlights include the Boston baked lobster, seafood paella, whole roasted suckling pig, Black Angus beef tenderloin and so much more. An added bonus is the attended play area for children with activities and toys while you toast to one of Hong Kong’s longest brunches.

Served fresh and boundless to your table, you can fill your bellies with limitless yum cha favourites including classic dumplings, spicy wontons, steamed barbecued Iberico pork buns and even hot mains such as Peking duck and Kung po prawns at the ready. There are also free-flow drink options so you can sip on a glass of Veuve Clicquot Champagne, or mix it up with a bellini, mimosa, Aperol Spritz, bloody Mary, breakfast martini or espresso martini -- or all of them if you wish/can.

Felix

Located on the 28th floor of The Peninsula, Felix’s Sunday brunch is a feast for the senses. Created by acclaimed Chef de Cuisine Juan Gomez, brunch comes with a stunning view and a live Latin band to boot. What’s more, the generous semi-buffet features live gourmet stations piled high with fresh seafood, cheeses, and desserts and offer breakfast egg specialities too. But it doesn’t stop there as the brunch also includes a main course of your choice. Think linguine marinara, seasonal mushroom risotto, a juicy Felix burger or even a beef Wellington to share. Those being good can enjoy the vegan or gluten-free options washed down with a fruit juice, while the rest of us indulge in some of the free-flow Champagne and cocktails.

Bibo

At lively modern-French restaurant Bibo, brunch is served in steps: It’s as easy as choosing between a degustation of either 3 steps (1 entrée, 1 main dish and 1 dessert) or 5 steps (2 entrées, 1 main dish and 2 desserts). Start with the smoked scallops paired with cauliflower, haddock and coconut, pigeon with wild rice, mussels and peas and end with the sweet chocolate trio. This can also involve a wine pairing with your chosen steps or, of course, free-flow Champagne. So not only can you drink in the contemporary art with the likes of Banksy, Daniel Arsham and Jeff Koons on the wall, but you can also drink in unlimited glasses of bubbles to celebrate the weekend.
