The brunch mains display a global flair, from the buttermilk pancake, to the avocado toast with bacon, poached egg, and salmon roe, to the spicy Japanese “broken eggs”; this last dish is a riff on the classic Spanish recipe, here featuring miso-braised onion and tofu in addition to fried egg and potato.

Get ready to unzip or unbuckle following a brunch session at Rosewood hotel’s sleek American steakhouse HENRY. Chef Jorge Vera Gutiérrez’s American weekend lunch menu (HKD798 pp) is a US-inspired banquet of sorts, and we’re here for it. The menu begins with an assortment of sharing starters, including the likes of gravlax, lobster bisque, wedge salad, and buttermilk fried chicken, and then it’s time for the main event. The Australian M4 Wagyu New York strip or USDA Prime rib-eye (+HKD198) are the obvious options, but the Juicy Lucy burger – 180 grams of dry-aged beef, American cheese, and fried egg on a homemade brioche bun – is a worthy rival. For dessert, we adore both the New York cheesecake and grilled banana sundae.

Ask for Alonzo
Mamma mia! Ask for Alonzo’s newly launched Auntie Maria’s Brunch (HKD268 pp) puts the “fam” in family-style dining. About as reasonably priced as it gets for a three-course brunch in Hong Kong, the Italian menu comes with a sharing starter platter of Italian cold cuts, fried calamari, and tomato bruschetta, a choice of main course, and dessert. The breakfast carbonara pasta dish is a fan-favourite main, whilst Alonzo’s signature tiramisu is a fine rendition of this classic Italian pudding.

Weekends, 11AM–5M, with two-hour free-flow lemonade, Prosecco, beer, and house vodka and gin with mixers priced at HKD198 pp
