Chef Robert and his team are cooking up a feast fit for kings in their brand-new Sunday brunch offering at The Kitchen.

The open kitchen adds to the sense of atmosphere, while live stations are set up around the spacious venue for made-to-order noodle bowls and roast meats. Plus, who could forget about the free-flow Veuve Clicquot champagne?
Mark your calendars for 19 May, as the Kitchen team are hosting a “Drag Me To Late Brunch” from 5–9pm, with an unprecedented “sunset” version of their Sunday brunch, complete with the dazzling allure of drag queens and a mouthwatering selection of delicious brunch canapés. This special brunch is priced at HK$988 per adult, with free-flow Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label classic champagne, wine, beer, cocktails, juices and soft drinks.
