You probably recognise this one by the grandeur of its iconic foyer.

Indulge in a weekend treat at this heritage chic waterfront restaurant – the Clifford Pier serves up a sumptuous dim sum brunch on weekends and public holidays. There’s not only an array of steamed, fried, and baked dim sum, but also local delights such as satay, and, who can forget, a lush dessert station.

A Sunday afternoon spent feasting on an endless flow of upmarket gourmet foods and champagne? Sounds like a perfect pamper sesh to us.

Priding themselves for their array of Asian cuisines, The Edge also hasn’t forgotten about the fresh seafood. Oh, and the two-meter long cheeseboard. Also, the seven live cooking stations at this epitome of gastro-tainment means you’ll get your food piping hot.

P.s. kids under 6 dine for free!

Sundays just got better with The Line’s Sunday champagne brunch buffet with 16 theatre kitchens, including foie gras presented in 10 ways, 13 types of fresh seafood on ice and 30 types of New and Old World cheese, served with unlimited Perrier-Jouët Grand Brut.

As with all buffets, finish off with all the desserts you need to satisfy your sweet tooth – which is probably how you started too, we know it!

Enjoy an unhurried weekend afternoon brunching on classics such as Cinnamon French Toast or Truffle Scrambled Eggs on Sourdough, or a hearty Wagyu Rump or Halia’s Singapore-Style Chilli Crab Spaghettini (Rule of thumb: if it’s named after the restaurant, it’s got to be great) – with the Botanic Gardens as your backdrop.

If you’re craving a simple, super-cazh affair, head to 5th Quarter Cava, where the brunch options include a charcuterie platter, chorizo eggs, mushroom cappuccino (served in a coffee pot!) and baked clams with garlic (above). Opt for free-flow Cava to accompany your meal and kick back.

For weekends where those hunger pangs can only be satiated by a proper dim sum feast, head to Mitzo, Grand Park Orchard’s uber cool Cantonese restaurant, who has now put a contemporary spin to the traditional yum cha.

Besides the usual dim sum suspects of steamed prawn dumplings, custard buns and crispy beancurd rolls, Mitzo also brings out the big guns in the form of its excellent barbecued pork as well as the crispy pork belly bun.

Like any good F&B establishment well aware of its popularity outside of home town and savvy enough to capitalise on it, New York City brunch institution Clinton St Baking Company has now opened its first South East Asian outpost along Purvis Street, bringing with it its signature blueberry pancakes, buttermilk fried chicken and Belgian vanilla buttermilk waffle, and buttermilk biscuit sandwich with scrambled eggs, melted cheddar, tomato jam and bacon.

If there’s one thing the Aussies excel in, it’s serving brunch that looks magazine-cover-worthy. There’s nothing particularly ground-breaking about Sydney-based Luxe’s brunch offerings (there are crowd favourites like eggs benedict with poached eggs and leg ham, and an all-day breakfast) but a textbook hipster-chic set-up perfect for those envy-inducing Instagram shots means the local crowds will come in droves regardless.

As is standard with Aussie cuisine, there are hints of Asian influence, such as the use of coconut yoghurt and seasonal fruits with the quinoa and chia seed pudding.

Greenhouse, the grand dame of all luxe brunch offerings in Singapore, now has a new name and a spiffy new look that harkens back to the years of colonial rule by the British in the region. But other than the facelift, which sees the once open-concept area redesigned for a much more private and luxurious-looking format, food offerings are still very much the indulgent spreads that Greenhouse fans have been accustomed to. There are now eight “live” kitchens, showcasing Chinese, Indian, Indonesian, Malaysian, Western and local dishes, plus the eternally popular seafood station – which serves King crab legs, half shell scallops, black mussels and poached ‘live’ prawns – a bakery, a fruit stall and a patisserie.

The Vintage Champagne Brunch is available every Sunday from noon to 330pm, from $188 per adult, inclusive of unlimited Louis Roederer Brut Vintage 2008 and Brut Rosé 2009, selected cocktails/mocktails, house pour red/white wines, draft beer and soft drinks.

If you think Tanjong Beach Club is another one of those generic beach shacks, you couldn’t be further from the truth.

The restaurant now serves up a hearty weekend brunch menu featuring the likes of eggs and ham, chorizo quesadilla, acai bowls and chilled melon salad.

They’ve also got an updated drink menu with cheekily named cocktails such as resting peach face, hollywood punch and tanjong spritz.
