Sunday brunch on the terrace, what’s not to like? This month The Envoy at The Pottinger Hotel in Central launched a new Sunday Brunch menu featuring a range of dishes designed to complement their delicious crafted cocktail menu.
The brunch dishes are solid, but the range of choices is very traditional. bc tried the eggs benedict (available with creamy spinach; parma ham and mushroom or smoked salmon and avocado) $188, traditional breakfast $178 and the milo lava toast $88. All were well presented and enjoyable, but nothing to have you tweeting, get here and try this… unlike the cocktails which are rather good.
And really you are here to relax,chat and enjoy the fine crafted cocktails created by Charlene Dawes and Antonio Lai – the duo behind the drinks menus at Quinary and Origin. There are over 25 to choose from and there’s quite literally something for everyone. Many of the most interesting feature twists on local dishes and ingredients and flavours range from sweet to sour and everywhere in between. Almost all are served in unique or interesting glasses and clever, but not extraneous garnishing is the rule of the day.

What’s good about the current crafted cocktails trend is that they’re drinks designed primarily to be enjoyed – not to get you drunk. This allows for the tasting and enjoyment of several, where the only pain will be on your wallet as they not cheap costing between $128-$188.
There are lots of relaxed places to enjoy sunday brunch, The Envoy’s terrace with the sun out, cocktail in hand is certainly one to add to your list of options.
