BK Brunch Club 

The time has finally come! For five consecutive weekends starting Jun 15, BK will launch a brand new event with fantastic offers on daytime dining. This isn’t your run-of-the-mill Sunday brunch with long buffet lines and the same old cooking stations. Here, 25 of the city’s top fine-dining and fine-casual restaurants craft their best daytime, family-style sharing menus. Many of these restaurants don’t normally do brunch or even lunch, such as 80/20, Jua and Sensi (pictured above), so it’s an opportunity for them to create special dishes—and for your to sample them! Visit bkrestaurantweek.com/brunch for bookings.
