The boozy brunch is a Hong Kong institution that will never go out of style. When it comes to lapping up fabulous city views, free-flow drinks and mountains of food, we certainly aren’t short on options. The champagne spreads run the gamut from exclusive bubbles high above the city at Ozone to free-flow Dom Pérignon closer to ground level — in terms of height, not the effervescent feeling the champagne gives you — at the Lounge at the JW Marriott Hotel. Check out our guide to the city's most lavish champagne brunches… and cancel your plans for the following morning. By Sophie Pettit

RECOMMENDED: Fill up on small bites and exclusive beverages with one of Hong Kong's top afternoon tea sets.

Another swanky hotel restaurant with a superb selection and excellent live music is Felix, perched on the 28th floor of the iconic Peninsula hotel. The recently launched Felix Brunch Series aims to tick all the boxes and more. Graze on a generously sized buffet that features all the usual suspects – fresh salads and cold cuts, a mountain of seafood, eggs cooked just the way you like them, and desserts to die for. You can also choose one main dish to enjoy, with options like wagyu burgers, beef Wellington and cheesy risotto. The real attraction, however, is the signature cocktail menu created by acclaimed mixologist Marko Petrovic, who is on hand to recommend the perfect pairing for whatever you’re munching on. Or you can opt for unlimited Peninsula Deutz Champagne or Ruinart Champagne, or hit the espresso martini machine to enjoy the cocktail on tap. One or two drinks later and you might be tempted to dance along to the live Latin band banging out sexy salsa and tango numbers. This is Hong Kong brunching at its finest.

Harbourside
  • Restaurants
  • Buffet
  • Tsim Sha Tsui

This Kowloon hotel is famous for its elaborate buffets, and its Sunday champagne brunch is no exception. The spread features all the classics alongside a tempting array of international and Asian dishes. The roast carving station with prime cuts of beef is definitely worth saving room for, as are the decadent homemade desserts, savoured against the stunning backdrop of Hong Kong Island. What sets this brunch apart, however, is the children’s entertainment which literally comes to your table and keeps little ones occupied with close-up magic, balloon twisting and glitter tattoos. With the kids taken care of, and Perrier-Jouët flowing freely all afternoon, this is a great option for parents who want to let their hair down.
When: Sun, 11.30am-3pm
