There’s a new Sunday ritual making waves in Mayfair, and it’s not your average eggs-and-avocado affair. Hakkasan Mayfair – London’s sleek temple of modern Cantonese cuisine – has just unveiled its Signature Brunch, and it’s as sumptuous as you’d expect from a brand that’s earned Michelin stars on multiple continents.
From midday to early evening every Sunday, 17 Bruton Street transforms into a sensory playground of bold flavours, sophisticated pours, and the kind of glamour that turns a simple meal into an occasion. Whether you’re rallying the crew for a lively midday feast or looking to elevate a lazy Sunday with a little opulence, this is the place to be.
Let’s talk food. The Signature Brunch plays all the hits. Think: Hakkasan’s legendary Crispy Duck Salad – fragrant, golden, and tossing with pomelo and pine nuts – a dish that somehow manages to be both indulgent and refreshing. Then there’s the Steamed Dim Sum Trio, delicate parcels of joy as pleasing to the eye as they are to the palate.
But the showstopper? A sizzling black pepper rib eye beef, wok-tossed and bold, with a Merlot flourish that gives it an extra edge. Generously portioned and perfect for sharing, these plates are made for communal delight.
Drinks? Oh, they’ve thought of everything. For just £8, you can sip on expertly mixed cocktails that dance between tradition and invention. The Vesper Martini brings Bond-worthy swagger, while the Shanghai Cosmo surprises with pink peppercorn heat and a kick of Baijiu. The Watermelon Daiquiri adds a splash of tropical whimsy, and for those who fancy the fizz, Moët & Chandon is always on ice.
The vibe? Classic Hakkasan: low-lit luxury, with a seductive hum of conversation and clinking glasses. Whether you’re a brunch purist or a culinary thrill-seeker, the Signature Brunch promises a journey that’s every bit as stylish as its surroundings.
Forget the sleepy Sunday stereotype. At Hakkasan Mayfair, the weekend ends not with a whimper, but with an elegant, flavour-packed flourish.
Served every Sunday, 12:00pm – 6:30pm with reservations essential. Book your table and elevate your Sunday game. Because if you’re going to brunch, you might as well do it beautifully.
