Opus Bar & Grill

Sunday Brunch is often a hit and miss affair for my family because there’s usually someone who isn’t particularly into it. Thankfully, this wasn’t the case at Voco Orchard Singapore in the heart of Orchard Road. Both my daughters Maya Rose and Joey (aged 14 and 11) sat through the full three hours – no complaints this time!

Created by Executive Chef Dean Bush, the uplifted Sunday Brunch is held from 12pm to 3pm and brings together signature dishes from the hotel’s dining establishments – Opus Bar & Grill, il Cielo and D9 Cakery.

I was more than happy sipping Laurent-Perrier Champagne but the chatty mixologist (who can make you any cocktail under the sun) made each of my daughters a personalised mocktail, a lovely refreshing twist on a Shirley Temple.

Usually, teens and tweens think songs from the 90s and 2000s are “old school”, but DJ Miss Lil’s cool remixes received all-round nods of approval.

We each had our favourite bits of the brunch. Personally, I loved the seafood selection with fresh oysters, tasty sashimi and crayfish. Another highlight for me was the dessert pancakes made at our table by a friendly chef. Joey loved the dessert section with its chocolate fountain with fresh strawberries and marshmallows, while Maya Rose adored the Italian dishes. She’d probably tasted six types of pasta by the end of our meal!

I’m giving Voco’s Sunday Brunch five out of five stars for the food, the friendly service and the price ($118 per adult for the buffet and $178 for the free-flow champagne package). We will definitely be back!
