Tired of the same old foie gras at five-star hotels? Poor you. Try our roundup of the latest weekend brunch options in town.

Napa on 26

2/F Nihonmachi (behind K-Village), Sukhumvit 26, 02-258-2622. Available only Sun 11:30am-2pm.
The Californian restaurant has been doing a brunch for a few months now (B1,500 per person) which includes a free flow of sparkling wine and choice of six different red and white Californian labels. You can combine appetizers from the cold seafood buffet along with soup and a main course.

The Eugenia

267 Sukhumvit Soi 31, 02-259-9011. Available on Sat-Sun 11:30am-2:30pm.
This quaint boutique hotel has recently undergone a change in management and also a change to its set brunch menu, now with Asian influences. For B1,590 per person, you get a pastry and preserves spread, coffee, juice, a glass of sparkling wine and choices like oeuf a la bourguignonne (poached egg in red wine with white truffle sabayon) or homemade gnocchi with duck ragu.

Tables

Grand Hyatt Erawan, Rachdamri Rd., 02-254-1234. Available only Sun noon-2:30pm.
This old-school European restaurant now has a hot, new chef, and a brand new Sunday brunch offering a slightly different concept: live cooking stations that whip up dishes like risotto, scallops and steak tartare a la minute. You also get your choice of lobster thermidor or lobster salad as a main dish. B1,400 per person, B580 extra for free-flow prosecco, wine, beer and soft drinks.

Viu

12/F, St. Regis Hotel Bangkok, 159 Ratchadamri Rd., 02-207-7777. BTS Ratchadamri. Available only Sun 12pm-4pm.
St. Regis now brings its “New-York style” brunch to Bangkok. The brunch (B2,400) features your expected gigantic spread, with an never ending menu of gourmet dishes; and if you’re a cheese lover, their choice of cheese is unbeatable. They also have free flow cocktails (martinis and Bloody Mary) to end your weekend properly hammered.

Rain Tree Cafe, Plaza Athenee

61 Wireless Rd., Plaza Athenee Hotel, 02-650-8800. Available only Sun 12pm-3pm
Plaza Athenee’s Sunday Brunch is not new, but it has just been touched by the molecular gastronomy bug going around Bangkok. That means ingredients have been foamed, liquified or even thrown into liquid nitrogen. The results? Molecular smoked duck or nitro poached cocktails. But if you prefer your brunch less meddled with, there’s still the Alaskan king crab, Maine lobster and Swiss raclette station to keep you happy. B3,040 with free flow sparkling Jeanne D’Arc blanc de blancs brut, cocktails, wine and Illy coffee.

Be Your Guest

24, Sukhumvit Soi 53. 081-637-9047. BTS Thonglor. Private car park. www.villabeyourguest.asia. Available only Sun 11am-4pm
Nestled in leafy Sukhumvit Soi 53, Be Your Guest is a private residence turned gourmet cafe, private restaurant and boutique guesthouse (clearly they like to multi-task). Sit next to their lush garden and private swimming pool while enjoying no less than four different brunch sets with a free-flow of hot coffee, tea and juice: Thai (B590), Parisian (B890), Gourmet (B1,190) or Children’s (B300).

Chu

Room 204-206, 2/F, Exchange Tower, 388 Sukhumvit Rd., 02-663-4554. BTS Asoke. Breakfast menu available only until 11am on weekdays, 3pm on weekends and public holidays.
Although Chu gets its name from its churros (B90/plate, add chocolate or dulce de leche for another B20) and is well known for its variety of desserts, they’ve recently rolled out a breakfast and an all-day brunch menu, both with some serious egg recipes. The egg white fritatta with smoked salmon, mozzarella, caramelized onions and rocket (B260) and french toast with berries (B230) have sparked our interest. If you’re hungover and need that calorific blow out to recharge your batteries; try the breakfast set with two eggs (fried, scrambled or poached) with grilled tomato, crispy bacon, Virginia ham, German Bratwurst, toast, orange juice and hot coffee or tea (B220)—enough protein to make a T-bone look vegetarian.
