Brunch @ Bochinche
The freshly minted Argentinean establishment has just launched a new brunch featuring recipes like braised ossobuco on toast ($24), and chorizo grilled tomato omelet ($23). The spacious 100-seater’s just as appealing in the day as in the evening: sit at the convivial open kitchen counter or dine alfresco on the restaurant balcony.
Lunch @ The Black Swan
In this 1930s-style restaurant featuring striking art deco outfittings with bold geometric shapes and a stunning U-shaped bar made of granite, dine on American classics like beef tartare ($4 supplement) to start, and duck confit for mains.

Set menu options are elegant in their simplicity. Starters might include hearty pumpkin soup, while the main dish selection may comprise beef tenderloin with caponata. Desserts like their chocolate salami […]

Brunch @ Lime
For a blowout brunch, fancy schmancy hotel buffets can’t be beat. This new one at Parkroyal at Pickering’s on-site restaurant is lovely. In an airy light filled dining room, swig Piper-Heidsieck Champagne while digging into moreish mushroom risotto (made a la minute), fiery Thai salads and house made gravlax. The servers come round with hot […]
Brunch @ Taratata Bistrot
Chef-owners Bertrand Raguin and Philippe Nouzillat put of some fine French crepes for brunch—made with buckwheat flour, with fillings like ham, egg and cheese ($11)—plus, other eggy classics like oeuf cocotte ($12) or croque madame ($16).
