It’s one of those brunches where you just don’t realize time passing by. A brunch with benches, stools, long tables with tablecloth, open air and plants around you that makes you feel like at a picnic in the garden. They’ve got indoor and outdoor seating. They also have an electronic roof top that can be open and closed depending on the weather and the heat. Initially the roof was closed to avoid the early afternoon sun but later in the afternoon they had it open and the atmosphere got even better with natural lighting and open sky. The music band was satisfying and they really knew how to pull the crowds attention. The band was definitely a big plus for todays saturday brunch.
For drinks they have 3 different kinds of signature mocktail and you could also make your own kind of drink at the drinks station. The service has been amicable. Irrespective of the crowd they’ve managed to service with a smile throughout our brunch and has been effective. They had a set menu of starters that would reach on everyone’s table.
Starters to the table would include:
- Chicken wings
- Brazilian palm heart salad
- Crispy fried calamari with tarter sauce
- BBQ pulled beef slider
- Irish sausage roll with sweet chili
- Chicken Caesar salad
You could continue asking for more of these starters to your table as you finish them. Some of favourites from the above list would be the tantalizing beef sliders, fried calamari and Caesar salad. You could also opt for soft drinks apart from the mocktails available.
UBK saturday brunch – Movenpick – JLT
They also had a LIVE buffet station for appetizers. They had this amazing beef and grilled chicken section with their respective sauces. We ate lot of good quality beef to be honest. The Tempuras were cripsy & hot, especially enjoyed the batter fried cod fish along with its siraccha mayo. There were also 2 kinds of quesadilla which was veg and chicken. Mac & cheese was available and kids were obviously after it.
For Mains you could pick one from the list:
- BBQ RIBS & MASH
- Butter Chicken & Rice
- Pan-seared SEA Bass
- Mushroom Risotto
- Grill Striploin steak
- Sausage and Mash
- Chicken Gordon Blue
- Jerk Marinated Chicken
- Rotisserie Station
- Mac N Cheese Station
I was in complete love with BBQ RIBS & Mash. I think that’s a must order Main. The Pan seared Sea Bass was presentable but I think it just felt out of place with lot of mouth watering BBQ steak and ribs around. The grilled striploin was not the favourite on the table, although it was a good looking one.
For desserts they had an interesting collection. Firstly all their desserts were very well presented. There was a LIVE station of strawberry & banana flambe which got lot of traction. This was the only LIVE dessert station made fresh in front of you. My favourite pick from the dessert section would be the Raspberry & Matcha tea cake. The Match ice cream that came along with it was simply mind blowing in taste. The Hazelnut sponge cake looked glamorous but the carrot yoghurt cake with passion fruit easily won everyone’s heart on the table. These were unique desserts that we’ve never come across before. The presentation of these desserts have been stunning and we couldn’t ask for a better ending to our Saturday Brunch. Click here to visit their official website.
