The Sunday brunch menu at the Bar & Billiard Room ($158, $178 with Champagne Billecart Salmon Brut Reserve or $198 with Champagne Billecart Salmon Brut Rosé) includes fine fare from around the world including pata negra ham, foie gras, fresh raviolis, wagyu beef, three kinds of oysters, a wide range of French cheeses and homemade ice-creams. Plus, there’s beer,  Singapore Slings, soft drinks, juices and red and white wine such as Pinot Grigio from Catarrato  and Nero d’Avo from Sicily. 

The deal: The set lunch ($32) at this slick wine bar includes three courses of sophisticated European fare, with four choices for each course.

Why it’s worth it: The food is far better than you’d expect of a drink specialist. Pick from well-composed dishes like warm spinach salad with sous vide egg, and French classics such as coq au vin, featuring a rich flavorful red wine sauce. Desserts are especially good, including lemon tart with lime sorbet. Lunch pairs easily with their array of affordable wines.
