There’s no better way to wind down, cure a hangover, and go over the weekend’s events than a simple Sunday brunch in good company. Whether you’re a bacon and eggs kind of guy or a Japanophile sushi fiend, Bangkok’s plethora of hotels have an option that’s right for you. There really is something for everyone when it comes to Sunday brunch.
Overlooking the Royal Bangkok Sports Club, VIU at the St. Regis offers a brunch tailored specifically for anyone who wants to eat like a New Yorker: The New York Style Sunday Brunch. THB2,400 gets you free flowing Bloody Marys and Martinis. Made to order options like truffle-scented scrambled eggs with marinated salmon are available, as are free-range guinea fowl, Thai barramundi, and French venison. Sure the price is high, but so is the cool factor of eating truffles for breakfast.
If your taste goes beyond NYC-inspired fare, then try out the Extravagant Sunday Brunch at Atelier and Tapas Y Vino located at the Grand Millennium Sukhumvit. The buffet menu is centered on tapas, but includes a global assortment of dishes like chicken tikka, waygu beef tartar, and Peking duck. The item that stands out most is the free flowing selection of non-alcoholic beverages: mango lassi, Massala tea, Madras coffee and fresh fruit juices. At THB1600 for food and non-alcoholic drinks it represents a good value, and for 300 THB more you can include a free flow of Asian beers. If it’s been a good weekend the last thing you’ll want is another Leo, however.
We all hate realizing how much money was blown the Saturday night before – always gets us down on Sundays, but luckily VIE (not to be confused with VIU) hotel has us covered with a THB900 brunch option that includes marinated lamb chops, New York sirloin steak, smoked pork ribs, and Thai food. Have some Sunday morning company? Invite them to come along as it’s a come 4 pay 3 (sweet)deal.
So next time you’re wondering to do with your lazy Sunday, consider calling a few friends and heading over to one of these incredible week-starting brunches – an appetite-satisfying interpretation of the classic Sunday Funday.
