  • Savour Wonderful Flavours of the Italian Riviera With OSTERIA BBR by Alain Ducasse’s Refreshed Menu

The new Sunday brunch from OSTERIA BBR by Alain Ducasse is tackling the highly competitive brunch market head on with its iconic location, Italian riviera inspired dishes and indulgent drinks section.

Located in its own building within the Raffles Hotel complex (the former Bar & Billiard room), OSTERIA BBR by Alain Ducasse occupies an iconic space worthy of its acclaimed Michelin star chef, Alain Ducasse. The light-filled and modern restaurant exudes an upmarket but bustling and atmospheric vibe.

The new OSTERIA BBR by Alain Ducasse Sunday brunch offers three price points – the Brunch Roma at $168++ for free flowing wine and cocktails, the Brunch Venezia at $198++ for free-flowing Billecart-Salmon Brut Reserve and the Brunch Milano at $228++ per person for free-flowing Billecart-Salmon Brut Rose.

The free-flow experience includes two hours of your preferred beverage package and a truly indulgent epicurean experience of Italian delights. We started our brunch with some classic Bloody Mary’s but were particularly enthralled by the jeroboam of Rose – a stunningly etched bottle containing a divine Provencal rose.

​​​​​​​ Octopus, potato foam, Mediterranean scents, Ravioli, buffalo Mozzarella, cherry tomato sauce, Mazara del Vallo red prawns, Atlantic cod, carrots, orange sauce ​​​​​​​

The food is an outstanding selection of fine-dining worthy Italian fare delivered with speed and grace to your table – that’s right no need to get up and tackle the buffet crowd. This is a classy sit-down affair giving you more time with your friends and more time to enjoy the fabulous drinks on offer.

Highlights from the antipasti selection include Burrata Pugliese with Apulian burrata and eggplant caponata, the half dozen Antilope oysters and Hokkaido scallops with pink grapefruit and crispy quinoa.

Buffalo Mozzarella, Mortadella ham and pistachio condiment Pizza

The Uovo Strapazatto was a delectable scrambled egg with sea urchin and caviar while the Parapdelle Beef Cheek Ragu came in its own splendid shiny pot served with an onion confit.

Onto the Secondi and it was the brunch classics that stood out – Maine lobster with crispy vegetables and bisque sauce and the Black Angus beef tenderloin with celeriac and truffle jus.

All the dishes were stunningly presented – equivalent to the standards of a Michelin star restaurant and of course with use of the finest ingredients were a mouth-watering delight to the taste buds as well.

After we were well and truly satisfied the good vibes continued out into the Aperol Spritz garden – a dedicated patio outside OSTERIA BBR by Alain Ducasse playing funky tunes and serving our favourite orange drink. The perfect way to end our indulgent day.
