A foodie’s paradise, Finestra’s weekly Sunday affair marries brunch staples, Italian signatures, and more
Beautifully plump oysters, luxurious oscietra caviar, and buttery scrambled eggs with truffle, all with a glass of bubbly in hand—sounds like our ideal Sunday. Toss in a perfectly-cooked ribeye hot off the Josper grill and fresh-made pizzas and pasta to boot, and you’ve got yourself a lavish Sunday spread that will make any foodie swoon. If you are one such gourmand, you’re in luck: Finestra’s Italian Sunday Brunch boasts all these treasures and more.
An exciting opportunity to dress up and gourmandise, the regular affair is the perfect time to catch up with friends, or for the family’s weekly weekend indulgence. Although the metro certainly is no stranger to Italian cuisine, Finestra brings you Italy’s finest culinary glory across its mesmerising collection of dazzling seafood, refined brunch fare, and comforting Italian classics, plus a portfolio of wines and cocktails for good measure.

After you’ve had your fill of the elegant starters, indulge in Finestra classics like the octopus carpaccio and a rich foie gras terrine with quince jam and dehydrated pear, and balance it out with some crisp greens from the salads section. If you’re looking for something heartier, worry not—house-made pasta such as pappardelle tartufate, risotto asparagus, and duck ravioli with vegetable brunoise and rosemary jus, as well as authentic pizzas straight out of the restaurant’s brick oven should do the trick nicely.

However, remember to leave some room for the outlet’s impressive main dishes, where Finestra’s Italian Sunday Brunch comes to a true crescendo. Treat yourself to USDA filet mignon with green beans and potatoes fried in duck fat, braised beef cheeks with polenta taragna, or baked Norwegian salmon, Pacific seabass, and sumptuous lobster.
Finally, succumb to your sweet tooth and witness Finestra’s well-known penchant for Italian desserts. Affogato made with liquid nitrogen, the signature tiramisu, creamy chocolate zuccotto cake, and a velvety mango and passionfruit semifreddo are just a few of the decadent bites on offer—all this before the candy trolley rolls out, filled with sweets and chocolates to bring home.
