11. Nicholini’s
A prime Saturday brunch option, Conrad hotel’s elegant Italian restaurant Nicholini’s has launched the gut-busting Ciao Italia brunch (HKD798 pp), which comes with free-flow Prosecco, cocktails, juices, and soft drinks. The food portion of the brunch is just as generous, kicking off with a bottomless buffet of more than 15 Italian appetisers. Next up, each table is presented with a chilled seafood platter. Main course options range from house-made pasta dishes like tagliatelle with porcini to cacciucco, a tomato-based Tuscan seafood stew, along with refillable sides. Dessert – tiramisu, profiteroles, torta della nonna, and cannoli – is also served tableside. Room for more? Diners can indulge in two items whipped up at live stations: beef tartare and rum baba.

13. Grissini
If it’s a mix of Italian flair and comfort you’re after, make a booking at reliable favourite Grissini at the Grand Hyatt, where chef Valerio Mandile has enhanced the weekend set brunch menu (from HKD880 pp). The seafood-heavy menu features an assortment of sharing antipasti (we love the poached oysters and grilled octopus), a choice of main, and a selection of sharing desserts. The spaghetti with Atlantic lobster and Piennolo tomato (+HKD150) and Roman claypot-baked chicken for two (+HKD180) never fail us. Grissini’s brunch is also ideal for those who are inclined to a tipple or two – even the lowest-priced package is inclusive of two hours of bottomless Prosesso, signature cocktails and mocktails, soft drinks, and juices.
Grissini, 2/F, Grand Hyatt Hong Kong, 1 Harbour Road, Wan Chai, 2584 7722, book here
Weekends, 11:30AM–2PM. Upgrade to HKD1,080 pp to include two-hour free-flow Perrier-Jouët champagne and house red and white wine or HKD1,460 pp to add on three glasses of premium Italian wine to the mix.
14. La Petite Maison (LPM)
La Petite Maison has refreshed its popular La Vie en Rosé Brunch (HKD688 pp) to showcase free-flow appetisers, mocktails, and juice. Of the two dozen unlimited Med-inspired appetisers up for sampling, we particularly recommend the warm heirloom tomato tart and sea bream ceviche for lighter flavours, followed by the heartier egg Benedict with crab hollandaise. Diners are spoilt for choice with the luscious main and dessert options, but you can never go wrong with LPM signatures like the baby chicken marinated in lemon confit and vanilla cheesecake.

15. The Mistral
Reopening recently on the first floor of the InterContinental Grand Stanford, The Mistral’s Sunday-only Harbour View Brunch (HKD688 pp) by chef Fabio Guaglione is Italian brunch bliss at its finest. The semi-buffet spread offers a fresh seafood bar of Alaskan crab legs, Boston lobster, yellowfin tuna carpaccio, and more, plus an antipasti table laden with Italian cold cuts and artisanal cheeses. Next up, head to the pasta corner for handmade pasta and risotto, followed by a decadent main course (perhaps Mediterranean sea bass in white wine sauce or double-baked pumpkin and goat cheese soufflé). Finally, savour a sweet finale by digging into cannoli, black truffle burnt cheesecake, and one-metre-long millefeuille.
The Mistral, 1/F, InterContinental Grand Stanford Hong Kong, 70 Mody Road, Tsim Sha Tsui East, 2731 2870, book here

16. HENRY
Get ready to unzip or unbuckle following a brunch session at Rosewood hotel’s sleek American steakhouse HENRY. Chef Jorge Vera Gutiérrez’s American weekend lunch menu (HKD798 pp) is a US-inspired banquet of sorts, and we’re here for it. The menu begins with an assortment of sharing starters, including the likes of gravlax, lobster bisque, wedge salad, and buttermilk fried chicken, and then it’s time for the main event. The Australian M4 Wagyu New York strip or USDA Prime tenderloin (+HKD198) are the obvious options, but the Juicy Lucy burger – 180 grams of dry-aged beef, American cheese, and fried egg on a homemade brioche bun – is a worthy rival. For dessert, we adore both the grilled banana sundae and sizzling brownie (+HKD98).
HENRY, 5/F, Rosewood Hong Kong, Victoria Dockside, 18 Salisbury Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, 3891 8732, book here
Weekends and public holidays, 12–3PM, with two-hour free-flow non-alcoholic wine and fruit punch priced at HKD288 pp or HKD588 pp to include Ruinart champagne, house red and white wine, draught and canned beer, and mimosas from the trolley
17. Ask for Alonzo
Mamma mia! Ask for Alonzo’s newly launched Auntie Maria’s Brunch (HKD268 pp) puts the “fam” in family-style dining. About as reasonably priced as it gets for a three-course brunch in Hong Kong, the Italian menu comes with a sharing starter platter of Italian cold cuts, fried calamari, and tomato bruschetta, a choice of main course, and dessert. The breakfast carbonara pasta dish is a fan-favourite main, whilst Alonzo’s signature tiramisu is a fine rendition of this classic Italian pudding.
Ask for Alonzo, multiple locations across Hong Kong, book here
Weekends, 11AM–5M, with two-hour free-flow lemonade, Prosecco, beer, and house vodka and gin with mixers priced at HKD198 pp
