’Tis the time to celebrate, which is why these indulgent brunches are a great way to bring your loved ones together and toast to another year gone by.
Sushisamba
It’s never a sleepy peaceful Saturday at Sushisamba’s highly acclaimed Copacabana Brunch. Quite the opposite in fact, as diners are treated to a celebration like no other – think endless flows of premium champagne, curated cocktails, and a feast of signature dishes, all served up against the backdrop of live DJs and dynamic performances. You might even be stirred to deliver some impromptu dance moves between bites and sips.
Happening every Saturday (12pm to 3pm) at Capital Tower, the Copacabana Brunch ($250++) features unlimited serves of signature dishes across all categories, from seviche to main courses like Australian Grass Fed Short Rib. Live sushi stations have chefs doling out signature Samba rolls, nigiri and sashimi, while a robata live station offers freshly fired anticuchos. For those with taste for finer things, the brunch offers four free-flow tiers of Champagne. Starting with Boizel Brut Reserve, diners can upgrade their bubbly to Pol Roger Brut Vintage 2015 at $70++ per person, fresh sips of Taittinger Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs 2013 at $345++ per person, or Dom Perignon, Jean-Michel Basquiat Special edition Collection 2015 for the ultimate splurge at $788++ per person.
