Complete with waiters in silk pajamas, fluffy slippers and alarm clocks, this four hour ‘Reveil’ Saturday Brunch package is an all-you-can-eat feast served to you on an actual four-poster bed! (Instagram-able much?). Choose from a range of top-notch breakfast dishes with a French flair, from an extensive newspaper-style menu that includes every breakfast dish available, mains, cold cuts and tons of delicious pastries and desserts *drools*. They had us at brunch in bed tbh.

2) Cartagena Brunch, JW Marriott Marquis

The Latin American sharing brunch has a vibrant, jungle-themed ambience that is nothing short of spectacular. No, really. Its 72nd-floor location will leave you feeling like you’re literally dining in the clouds while the DJ will have you involuntarily busting a move the entire time. That’s just the entertainment. The food is great for those looking to taste the very best dishes that South America has to offer. Our favourites? The ahi tuna poke and the Puerto Rican braised short rib – they are SO good.

3. The Lion by Nick and Scott, The H Hotel

The 3-hour All Freakin’ Day Friday Brunch at The Lion puts an urban spin on traditional British classics with a fun menu that changes weekly to keep brunch-goers guessing. A few highlights of the night time brunch menu include the beef in Murphy’s pudding with mash and gravy and the dreamy curried coconut chicken. Singer and guitarist Richard Simon Kennedy will also be on hand to ensure that you dance the night away with some classic Union Jack tunes. Think everything from Dexys Midnight Runners’ Come On Eileen! to I’m Gonna Be by The Proclaimers. Sweet.

You can’t say no to a delish high-end Japanese brunch let alone one at the legendary Nobu, a Kardashian-fav. The ‘World of Nobu Brunch’ on Fridays at Atlantis, The Palm is a delight with its stunning Japanese aesthetic and live sushi stations. Get yourself a ‘passport’ from the restaurant and try out the venue’s many international dishes that includes the likes of spicy chicken tacos or the Nobu Full English spread.
