5 Sunday Brunches in Mumbai you don’t want to miss.

I am sure most of us love the sound of brunch. The idea of lounging at a Mediterranean-isqe set up with friends and family, casually sipping some Sangria accompanied by some delectable food, while the music playing softly in the background keeps the tempo up. Sounds awesome, right?!

Well luckily for us, Bombay has quite a few Sunday brunches to choose from. 

NOVOTEL (JUHU)

A buffet spread boasting of Indian, Italian and Chinese cuisine can be found at the Sunday brunch at Novotel. The fact that the buffet is spread over all three restaurants at Novotel (Olio, The Square and Sampan) makes this brunch a must. With the majestic view of the Arabian sea, the brunch here is an absolute delight. Be ready for the never ending signature cocktails and some taste bud scintillating food at Novotel. What’s even better is that all those who brunch there are given a 20% discount on the spa services as well and can even take a dip in the pool. Now that’s a double win!

OLIVE BAR & KITCHEN (BANDRA)

Who hasn’t heard of the brunch at Olive Bar & Kitchen now. Olive Bar & Kitchen has Bollywood glitterati to thank for making it one of the ‘IT’ places in Bombay.

A Mediterranean set up with a mouthwatering spread of salads, pastas, pizzas and  eggs await you with a full accompaniment of an extensive list of alcohol which includes wines, beers, cocktails and Sangria, the perfect way to spend a lazy Sunday!
