If you’re more sophisticated and truly appreciate the finer things in life, ops for any of these delicious foodie brunches.
1. Cafe Belge
When you head to brunch at Cafe Belge, you can choose to experience the elegant affair from inside the restaurant, the spacious air-conditioned terrace or - new this season - outside in the urban garden. We chose to sit in the terrace. Once seated, we were served a decadent and show-stopping signature fruits de mer (seafood platter), piled high with fresh lobster, oysters and winkles, and served with a side of creamy Belgian mayonnaise. We didn’t want to fill up as that was just the beginning of the multi course meal. The rest of the menu properly captured the essence of what makes Belgian cuisine unique through amazingly constructed dishes. Our favorites included the freshly shucked oysters, the smoked salmon, the mussels and the amazing baked seabass. Also we can’t neglect the dessert room, which is home to freshly made Belgian waffles and delectable accompaniments. We absolutely loved the brunch at Cafe Belge. It will definitely be every foodie’s dream brunch.
