Sunday brunch on 26 January 2014 (reservation made 3 weeks prior). Arrived at 12pm to a busy restaurant. The brunch is an open buffet for starters and then a fixed main course served on a central table at 1:30pm and buffet dessert served at 2-2:15pm. WARNING: STARVE YOURSELF before you come as there is so much food and all of it is amazing. For starters there is cheese and lots of it, bruschetta, steak tartare, devilled eggs, chicken stew, meatballs, mussels, sardines, smoked salmon, cold cuts, green salad, freshly squeeezed juices and fresh bread. Not only is there a buffet, you can order cooked eggs off the menu at no extra cost - for instance we ordered eggs with prosciutto, eggs with chorizo and a french omelette. The well regarded 'bikini' toastie is so good - ham, cheese and truffle. It comes with 4 neatly cut bread fingers which are delicious and I could have easily had more but was starting to get full. Very easy to overeat on the starters. The mains were served to great fanfare (music blaring and waiters dancing) and guests had their cameras at the ready to snap a pic for their respective food blogs. I counted at least 8 suckling pigs and all looked super tasty. They also served veal shank, lamb thigh and salt baked fish. The suckling pig was very crispy and juicy but to be honest I preferred the veal shanks stronger flavour and tenderness. After undoing my belt I prepared for dessert (which, too, was served to clapping and music) which was a selection of churros and dipping chocolate, mousse, fresh fruit covered in dry ice for flare (must have had leftovers of the stuff) and an assortment of various cakes/pastries/small desserts. After over 2 hours of eating I could barely move but enjoyed the experience and would happily return. 

Cost is $590 per person +10% surcharge. Can get free-flow Champagne albeit not free (for memory an extra $1,150 per person or sangria (about $250).
Other Info. : The music can be quite loud, so maybe don't come if you are rocking a hangover
