Our picks for the best brunch in Hong Kong
1. Cruise Restaurant & Bar, Hyatt Centric Victoria Harbour Hong Kong
What better way to celebrate the weekend than to revel in Hyatt Centric’s scrumptious Lunch & Buffet? At Cruise, the Hotel’s rooftop restaurant and bar, you can take in panoramic views of the Harbour while enjoying a range of hearty Asian dishes. Enjoy the flavours of the sea with So Chilled Out, a decadent platter featuring a Canadian lobster, Alaskan king crab, hamachi, king salmon, and other seafood.
The next dishes will whisk you away to Korea with its K-inspired flavours. Try the Spicy Green Stuff, which is Korean fried broccoli, chilli paste, and summer slaw. Or, carnivores can opt for Chang’s Pork Belly Ssam, which consists of grilled Iberico pork belly, little gem lettuce, and mustard relish. The culinary journey then moves onto Indonesian Bro, a braised beef short rib dish that can be upgraded to the Signature Cheeky Massaman – a must-have for wagyu lovers. Finally, wrap up your meal with Coconuts in Paris, a fruity and refreshing ice cream dessert that satisfies those with a sweet tooth.
Oh, and did we mention there’s a two-hour free-flow option? Complete your ultimate brunch experience with the unlimited prosecco, wines, beers, and soft drinks. Or, why not check in for a staycation and keep the party going all weekend?

2. Brooklyn Yakuza
Did someone say free-flow sake? Yep, we did, as Brooklyn Yakuza is now launching its brand new Bottomless Saké Brunch menu! You can sip on Yakuza Highballs while feasting on a variety of starters to share, followed by a choice of mains such as the miso grilled salmon, wasabi prawn udon, wagyu beef cheek, and more. For those with a sweet tooth, make sure to leave room for desserts – although the tabletop sake carafe towers will also need some work, because did we mention that those are unlimited? And if you want to continue the party after brunch, simply head downstairs from the main dining area to Brooklyn Yakuza’s Oyabun cocktail lounge for more fun and booze. Tempted? Simply send a WhatsApp message to the hotline 5460 0014 to get booking!

A seafood feast is a ‘must-have’ for some of the best weekend brunches in Hong Kong and, with fresh seafood imported from France, the weekend brunch at Nissa La Bella does not disappoint. In addition to the signature socca (a flat-bread like pancake made with chickpea flour and a quintessential staple of street food in Nice) with marinated peppers to whet the appetite, the brunch at Nissa La Bella not only includes a show-stopping seafood platter – with oysters, prawns, gravlax, and hamachi – but also a brimming bowlful of moules with french fries. Seafood lovers can also choose to add either an additional half or whole lobster with beurre blanc sauce and roasted potatoes.
