HONG KONG
Hong Kong has never been shy about indulgence. In a city that thrives on spectacle — mirrored skyscrapers, rooftop pools, Michelin-starred dim sum — the weekend brunch has evolved into its own cultural ritual. What began as a midday meal has become a theatre of abundance, where champagne towers rise as high as Central’s skyline and plates arrive in waves until afternoon slips into evening.
From French Riviera flair to Bollywood-bright spice markets, from harbourside dumplings to rooftop discos, Hong Kong’s brunches are more than meals: they’re passports to other worlds, curated in courses and poured in magnums. Whether you’re a traveller looking to savour the city’s high-octane weekends or a local in search of your next celebratory table, these are the brunches worth dressing up for.
For the rosé-dreaming bon vivant: LPM – La Vie en Rosé Brunch
Tucked into a quiet corner of Central, LPM channels the breezy sophistication of the French Riviera. The dining room, all whitewashed walls and modernist art, hums with the kind of energy you’d expect from Nice or Monte Carlo — lively yet unhurried, chic without trying too hard. It’s here that the La Vie en Rosé Brunch unfolds every Sunday, an extended love letter to Mediterranean living. The meal begins with a parade of appetisers served family-style. There’s a velvety avocado dip accompanied by crisp olive oil crackers; escargots bathed in garlic butter, their shells gleaming with indulgence; and a delicate wild sea bream ceviche sharpened with citrus. Salads arrive fresh and generous, from heirloom tomatoes to crisp haricots verts, while baskets of still-warm baguette are replenished almost too quickly.
For mains, diners choose from dishes that embody comfort and refinement in equal measure: a pan-fried bream fillet with apple rémoulade; slow-roasted beef braised in red wine until it falls apart at the touch of a fork; or handmade pasta tangled with seasonal vegetables. The finale is unabashedly indulgent — LPM’s famed cheesecake, feather-light vanilla panna cotta, or a chocolate mousse so rich it borders on sinful. And of course, there’s the rosé. While a glass is near-obligatory, those seeking the full experience upgrade to the Champagne Life package, which pairs Riviera spritzes, espresso martinis and bottomless magnums of Legras & Haas Rosé Brut. At LPM, brunch isn’t a meal. It’s a sun-drenched lifestyle, transplanted to the heart of Hong Kong.

For the skyline-loving cocktail enthusiast: Avoca – High Spirits Brunch
Perched on the 38th floor of Mondrian Hong Kong, Avoca offers a weekend brunch experience that feels like a breath of fresh air — literally and figuratively. With floor-to-ceiling windows framing the Tsim Sha Tsui skyline, the space hums with a sophisticated energy, a perfect mix of city buzz and elevated leisure. Live DJs keep the soundtrack flowing, while free-flow cocktails elevate the atmosphere into something that feels part rooftop garden party, part stylish urban retreat. The brunch begins with a parade of unlimited starters designed to awaken the senses. Crispy Pork Belly Strips glazed in tamarind combine crunch and tangy sweetness, while Catch of the Day Crudo arrives with a punch of umami from the house XO sauce. For something lighter but equally indulgent, the Dried Plum Tomato Salad layered with creamy burrata and a yuzu soy dressing balances freshness with depth. Each dish feels like a conversation between flavours — playful, considered, and perfect for sharing across the long tables.
Mains continue the narrative of bold, approachable luxury. The Grilled Hanger Steak is served with sambal romesco, a smoky, slightly spicy partner to the tender, perfectly cooked beef. Sambal Lobster Linguine is rich and satisfying, carrying the warmth of spice through a delicate, buttery sauce that clings to every strand of pasta. Meanwhile, the Roasted Three Yellow Chicken, accompanied by mushroom chicken fat orzo, bridges comfort and refinement, its golden skin giving way to juicy, flavour-packed meat. Every dish is crafted to pair beautifully with Avoca’s award-winning cocktails — from classic martinis to inventive signature creations — making the food and drink a harmonious duet. As the afternoon unfolds, the space evolves. Conversations ripple across tables, the DJ drops another set, and the city stretches below in a living tableau of lights and movement. The brunch isn’t just a meal; it’s an experience that blends style, indulgence, and energy into three unforgettable hours.

For the elevated Japanese brunch lover: Zuma – Yashoku Night Brunch
In the heart of Central, Zuma Hong Kong has long been synonymous with contemporary Japanese fine dining, yet the Yashoku Night Brunch takes this reputation into uncharted territory. Here, the ritual of weekend brunch is reimagined as a nocturnal celebration: a seamless marriage of culinary finesse and vibrant nightlife. Available Thursday evenings from 7:30 pm, and Friday and Saturday nights from 8 pm, this 2.5-hour experience invites guests to surrender to free-flow Perrier-Jouët champagne, meticulously paired with Zuma’s signature creations. From the first bite of silky steamed edamame with sea salt to the delicate crescendo of miso-marinated black cod wrapped in hoba leaf, each dish demonstrates a mastery of balance — textural, aromatic, and visual. The menu reads like a curated tour of Japan’s most compelling flavours: tuna tartare crowned with lotus chips, spicy tuna maki with tobiko, and sashimi of pristine salmon, yellowtail, and sweet shrimp. Warm plates such as pork gyoza with yuzu truffle and tender stem broccolini with panko butter are executed with precision, bridging tradition with contemporary flair. The evening culminates in a deluxe dessert platter, a delicate array of Japanese confection that offers a gentle, playful denouement to the feast. A live DJ threads through the space, punctuating the evening with rhythms that mirror the ebb and flow of conversation, laughter, and the clink of glasses.

For the meat-loving, sustainable dining aficionado: Carna – Nose-to-Tail Brunch
High above the bustle of Tsim Sha Tsui, on the 39th floor of Mondrian Hong Kong, Carna by Dario Cecchini elevates brunch into a ritual of heritage, sustainability, and unapologetic indulgence. Recently recognised by the MICHELIN Guide, this weekend Nose-to-Tail Brunch is a family-style celebration that honours every part of the animal, reflecting Cecchini’s philosophy that care and creativity can transform even the humblest cuts into unforgettable culinary experiences.
Guests are welcomed with tables brimming with unlimited homemade focaccia, charcoal carasau, and a selection of pickled vegetables and crisp greens — light, fresh, and perfectly balanced against the richness to come. Five free-flow appetisers follow, each replenished at leisure, encouraging guests to explore flavours slowly and deliberately. From there, handmade pasta is served generously, its rustic texture and carefully balanced sauces evoking the heart of traditional Italian cooking. The true show begins at the charcoal grill, where sharing platters arrive in succession. Salsiccia al Tartufo and Costoletta di Manzo — housemade truffle beef and pork sausages and fennel-marinated short ribs — are tender, smoky, and infused with the depth of the grill. Guests then select premium cuts for the table: AUS Black Angus Cube Roll, U.S. Chuck Tail Flap M5, or Costata di Manzo for larger groups. Each piece is cooked to perfection and served with the kind of generosity that invites conversation, laughter, and leisurely indulgence.
The brunch concludes with a classic Tiramisù, a sweet and airy punctuation to a feast defined by care, craft, and flavour. At Carna, brunch isn’t just about nourishment; it’s a celebration of tradition, sustainability, and the pleasures of communal dining elevated to a refined, modern luxury. Every bite, every plate, and every refill is a testament to thoughtfulness — and to the kind of brunch experience that lingers in memory long after the last sip of wine.

High above Central in The Murray, a former government building turned five-star hotel, Popinjays is where brunch meets nightlife in broad daylight. Its rooftop dining room, framed by wraparound windows, offers one of the city’s most cinematic views — but once the DJ sets start and champagne towers are wheeled out, eyes are fixed firmly inside.
The Disco Brunch lives up to its name. The menu opens with a chilled seafood bar overflowing with oysters, prawns, and salmon tartare, alongside prawn cocktails and freshly baked breads. From there, the mood gets heartier: gnocchi with slow-cooked duck ragù, roasted Black Angus striploin carved to order, or baked Atlantic cod brushed with a beurre blanc. Desserts aren’t a quiet afterthought but a spectacle — a buffet that tempts with tiered cakes, delicate patisserie, and creamy gelato. As the afternoon unfolds, waiters glide between tables with free-flow flutes, and the dance floor, improvised between tables, fills quickly. It’s decadent, a little over-the-top, and entirely unmissable if you want to understand how Hong Kong brunches became social institutions.

This is where traditional Chinese culinary artistry meets modern, photogenic flair, designed for those who believe a meal isn’t complete without a perfect snapshot.
The undisputed headline act is the unlimited Peking duck station, where chefs carve delicate, crisp-skinned portions to order, served with traditional pancakes, hoisin, and fresh julienne vegetables.

For the spice-craving brunch lover: Chaiwala – Bazaar Brunch Buffet
Descending into Chaiwala on Wyndham Street feels like stepping into a kaleidoscope. Lanterns dangle from the ceiling, walls glow with saturated colour, and the air buzzes with the aroma of spices. Its Bazaar Brunch Buffet captures the chaos and charm of an Indian market — a festival of flavour where no plate is left empty for long.
Appetisers set the tone: pani puri filled tableside with spiced water, crunchy samosas paired with tangy chutneys, and crispy okra dusted in masala. The buffet’s heart lies in its endless array of curries and tandoor dishes. Butter chicken arrives creamy and mild, railway lamb curry is rich with history and heat, while smoky kebabs emerge from the clay oven. Upgrades add even more decadence: truffle naan to scoop up curries, or aromatic biryani layered with saffron rice and tender meat. Desserts bring relief after the spice — tropical fruit platters, kulfi ice creams, and gulab jamun syrupy enough to transport you straight to Mumbai. Pair it all with lassis, spiced cocktails, or champagne depending on your mood.

For the Latin-loving brunch lover: Calle Ocho – Live Music Brunch
In Wan Chai, Calle Ocho is a slice of Madrid transplanted to Hong Kong. Its tiled interiors, jamón legs suspended above the bar, and flamenco music on Sundays create a sense of Iberian exuberance. The Live Music Brunch is as much about rhythm as it is about flavour. The meal kicks off with a cavalcade of tapas: pan con tomate rubbed with ripe tomatoes and olive oil, crispy patatas bravas with smoky paprika aioli, and albondigas — plump Spanish meatballs in rich tomato sauce. Larger plates anchor the menu, from slow-braised beef cheek that melts into its red wine reduction to barramundi pincho grilled with garlic and herbs. For a splurge, diners can add truffle fideuà — a noodle paella kissed with saffron and served in bubbling pans — before finishing with churros dusted in sugar or the Basque cheesecake that has earned cult status in Madrid. Free-flow cava keeps glasses clinking as flamenco guitarists play, transforming Wan Chai into a Sunday fiesta.

For the seafood purist: SKYE Roofbar – Seaside Brasserie Brunch
A hidden gem on the 27th floor of the Park Lane Hotel, SKYE Roofbar trades the standard brunch bustle for a serene, seafood-focused affair. Here, the panoramic vistas — stretching from Victoria Harbour to the green expanse of Victoria Park — are almost as impressive as the food, creating a bright, airy setting that feels a world away from the city below.
The experience begins with a spectacular semi-buffet of premium chilled seafood, a lavish spread that includes Australian oysters, mussels, yabby, and a dedicated caviar selection. The farm-to-table ethos shines with salads featuring greens harvested from the hotel’s own rooftop garden. For the main course, the choice is beautifully curated: a rich Saffron Octopus Risotto with Iberian chorizo, a perfectly grilled Sea Bream Fillet, or the show-stopping Lobster Thermidor (for a supplement).

The feast begins with a parade of sharing plates: massive Hokkaido king crab legs, jet-fresh sashimi, delicate salads, and sushi rolls crafted with seafood flown in daily from Japan. For a main, choose from an indulgent baked lobster with sea urchin, a bubbling A4 Kumamoto beef sukiyaki hot pot, grilled miso silver cod, assorted tempura and more.
Dessert arrives as a sharable platter of matcha fondants and yuzu tartlets, though the real sweet note is struck by the drinks: free-flow fine sake, sparkling prosecco, and beer served under neon-lit murals inspired by Japanese manga.

Surrounded by greenery, with interiors that nod to natural textures and earth tones, the hotel’s Sunday brunch invites guests to exhale.
The buffet is anchored by seasonal salads, artisanal cheeses, and platters of fresh seafood, but it’s the roasted meats — lamb, chicken, or beef carved to order — that anchor the experience.

The drinks packages, from wines to champagnes, are designed for lingering. Unlike Hong Kong’s party brunches, this one invites you to slow down, enjoy the company, and watch the afternoon light shift across the hills. For those who need a reprieve from the city, it’s worth the short trip out.
