Brunch is an integral aspect of any culinary journey. \u2013 Layne Nguyen, General Manager at Nobu Doha<\/span>\n <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n
\n

There are few better ways to toast a week\u2019s end than with brunch. The meal that falls somewhere between breakfast and lunch is a time for celebration, community and little agenda beyond filling plate after plate with global delicacies like Peking duck, beef Wellington and eggs Benedict \u2013 plus copious tipples of Champagne. Whether you\u2019re travelling to an exotic port city or hunkering down in a cultural capital, book a table at one of the best places for brunch with Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Locals consider Culina, Modern Italian<\/a>\u2019s Sunday dining affair the most extravagant in the City of Angels, thanks to its multiple dining stations (including omelettes and fresh, custom juices) and a fondue fountain that overflows with some 40 pounds of chocolate every single week. The restaurant is also a magnet for celebs, and though we can\u2019t mention the boldfaced names of many regular diners, you\u2019ll surely recognise their faces.<\/p>\n

Recently added to the menu: pizza from the restaurant\u2019s new al fresco pizza oven, set on the patio underneath California skies. Don\u2019t miss ordering Chef Luca Moriconi\u2019s favourite: Pizza with Burrata e Speck. \u201cI love the fact that the tomatoes are locally sourced and the burrata is from Puglia,\u201d he says. \u201cThe smoky flavour from the Speck completes the flavour profile for an amazing pizza!\u201d To go off-campus for your next bite, head to Bianca Bakery<\/a>, where Moriconi brings his own family. \u00a0\u201cIt is a new Italian-Argentinian place where you can enjoy great bread, pastries, pasta and mimosas,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

On sunny spring days, political players and denizens desiring a gossip session reserve seats on the outdoor terrace at Seasons<\/a> for views of Rock Creek Parkway\u2019s joggers and cherry-blossom-seeking travellers. It\u2019s a favourite for special occasions like Mother\u2019s Day, but every weekend is packed \u2013 and delicious \u2013 thanks to Chef Andrew Court\u2019s expansive menu. Locals stop by regularly to try the international station with rotating themes, which might include anything from sushi to paella. Currently on offer? The charms of a Hawaiian luau, such as pineapple fried rice with spicy shrimp, chef-carved kalua pork with passion fruit sauce, and Hawaiian barbecue chicken.<\/p>\n

When he\u2019s grabbing his own brunch, Court often beelines to the cheekily named Dirty Habit<\/a> in D.C.\u2019s Penn Quarter. \u201cI used to go to the original Dirty Habit in San Francisco when I was living there, so it\u2019s become a tradition,\u201d he says. \u201cI\u2019ll generally order the house-made yogurt and granola, then the BBQ Burrito or the Healthy Bowl \u2013 it depends on how much exercise I can get in on Sunday morning!\u201d<\/p>\n

Amaranto Restaurant<\/a> is inarguably chic: Polished black marble and dark red booths create an intimate environment. The mouthwatering menu is an Anglophile\u2019s delight, featuring Gloucestershire beef, Kent berries and Shetland smoked salmon. Those with a sweet tooth shouldn\u2019t leave without trying the lemon ricotta pancakes with Yorkshire rhubarb compote \u2013 an ideal way to kick-start another day in the city.<\/p>\n

For another brunch experience in London, Ivan Arena, Bar Manager at Four Seasons Hotel London at Park Lane, recommends Granger & Co: \u201cMy go-to order is the Sweet Corn Fritter dish, followed by something sweet from the bakery menu. They also do a very good Bloody Mary, which is always important to me!\u201d<\/p>\n

The 2,400-square-metre Nobu<\/a> outpost in Doha is one of Nobuyuki Matsuhisa\u2019s largest restaurants, and the menu is worthy of its grand space on the Marina, where nearly every seat overlooks the Arabian Gulf. While a Sunday or Saturday brunch is customary in much of the world, catch it here on Friday, the first day of the Arabic weekend. It\u2019s well worthy of a splurge, thanks to dishes like lobster quinoa risotto and Wagyu rib-eye.<\/p>\n

\u201cNot only are guests treated to incredible cuisine with a wonderful tasting-style menu,\u201d says Layne Nguyen, General Manager at Nobu Doha, \u201cbut the Friday brunch allows for an ideal ambience to gather with family and friends and reconnect over a magnificent meal, matched by a stylish setting.\u201d<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re ready for another local gem, Andrew Bozoki, Head Chef of Nobu, recommends brunching at Baladna Farm Restaurant<\/a> in northern Qatar. \u201cI love the lamb thareed there, and the fact that I can visit their milk factory with my family,\u201d he says. \u201cIt\u2019s the place to savour delicious Arabic-style food alongside the freshest possible dairy products.\u201d<\/p>\n

Celebrity Chef Wolfgang Puck brings his cutting-edge experience to the meat-centric CUT restaurant<\/a>\u00a0in the capital city of Manama \u2013 a brunch spot beloved by diplomats and members of the royal family. When it comes to the \u00e0 la carte menu, start with Puck\u2019s famous pretzel bread, then move on to more filling fare, served family style: creamy burrata bruschetta, steak skewers with a kick of chimichurri sauce, and homemade pasta. Try the filet mignon au poivre \u2013 a USDA prime hunk of marbled steak drizzled in black peppercorn and mustard sauce.<\/p>\n

Another favourite, suggested by Fabio Marques, Director of CUT by Wolfgang Puck: NOMAD Urban Eatery<\/a>. \u201cIt\u2019s a great spot for brunch, with an elegant and sophisticated Greek design,\u201d he says. \u201cThe friendly staff and quality food make for a pleasant and relaxed dining experience.\u201d<\/p>\n

Healthy living is the order of the day at Windows<\/a>, an intimate fireside lounge helmed by Executive Sous-Chef Benjamin Lim. Dishes on the all-day menu would delight any wellness enthusiast, including meat-free Impossible burgers served with tahini and grilled eggplant; turmeric bliss kombucha; and a vitamin- and antioxidant-stocked juice blend with guava, orange, blueberry and raspberry \u2013 an excellent way to prepare for a day of exploring Macau\u2019s ancient temples.<\/p>\n

When Lim himself ventures into Macau for brunch, he often selects Shun Hin, where his go-to dish is braised black mushrooms and assorted vegetables in fish broth. \u201cMacau is a place where I have been immersed in the Chinese culture, especially the food culture,\u201d he says. \u201cDim sum with tea starts as breakfast and is served until lunchtime, and can be savoury or sweet \u2013 a wonderful way to enjoy the moment with your family.\u201d<\/p>\n

Newly reborn as a botanically rich Proven\u00e7al and Asian brasserie, One-Ninety<\/a>\u00a0is practically tailor-made for Instagram, thanks to abundant flowers and lush, tropical plantings that dangle from columns and adorn the bar. Restaurant Chef Kamarl John, who formerly worked with Michelin-garnering chef David Myers, begins each brunch with artisan sourdough bread made from flour milled in Hokkaido, Japan, and served with seaweed butter. His inventive Sunday brunch menu features abundant dishes such as chilli crab omelettes with mantou buns and coriander, and laksa rice noodles with cockles, scallops and quail eggs. Guests love the option of adding free-flowing bubbly \u2013 Taittinger Brut champagne or Ruffino Prosecco \u2013 and the sustainably sourced seafood tower with Maine lobster, king crab, bluefin tuna, fresh prawns and Hokkaido scallops.<\/p>\n

To sit down for brunch, he often heads to Five Oars Coffee Roasters<\/a>. \u201cThe restaurant always reminds me of a trendy, informal brunch spot in London, and they serve really great food,” John says. \u201cMy must-orders are the Five Oars Breakfast and their craft beers and ales.\u201d<\/p>\n

Technically it isn\u2019t brunch, but since it\u2019s so special for families visiting Four Seasons Resort Orlando\u00a0Walt Disney World\u00ae<\/em> Resort, we couldn\u2019t resist including it. On Thursday, Saturday and select Tuesday mornings, Goofy and his pals arrive to entertain picky eaters of all ages at the Resort\u2019s Ravello<\/a> restaurant.<\/p>\n

Ask for a table on the patio overlooking the lake and fountains. Though your kids may be too distracted by Minnie Mouse to realise that the jams are homemade and the bread freshly baked, after their professional photos you can all enjoy house-cured meats followed by the Nutella-filled bomboloni on the dessert table.<\/p>\n

When he\u2019s seeking out a magical brunch for himself in Orlando, Executive Sous-Chef Ryan Schelling heads to DoveCote<\/a> downtown. \u201cThe brioche French toast is fantastic, and the steak and eggs are a great way to start a Sunday,\u201d he says. \u201cI love the chicken liver p\u00e2t\u00e9, which keeps me going back. After seeing the dishes you didn\u2019t order, you\u2019ll want to return to try it all.\u201d<\/p>\n
