St Regis Sunday Brunch: Best Champagne Brunch in Singapore at Brasserie Les Saveurs

This is my St Regis Sunday brunch review at Brasserie Les Saveurs. This time, two adults and TWO children are dining – Yes, my number #2 was born in September 2020, and we have been trying to take him out as much as we can.

Brasserie Les Saveurs: St. Regis Singapore

Brasserie Les Saveurs is our favourite place for fine dining in Singapore. While my go-to recommendation is their a la carte menu (thanks to the American Express Love Dining programme, which gives up to 50% discount), I’ve also enjoyed their Epicurean lunch set meal to the seafood buffet dinner (don’t you miss pre-covid buffets?). The more recent Afternoon Tea set I’ve had was also memorable.

Almost shamefully, we loved this hotel so much that we’ve even done a family staycation there, and it’s the best staycation I’ve ever had in Singapore to date.

Moreover, with the hotel’s in-house membership – Supper Club – dining here gives members a 25% discount. This includes the St Regis Sunday brunch (which is not part of the Love Dining programme. Presently, at the time of writing, Love Dining covers only the a la carte menu)

St Regis Sunday Brunch Menu

According to Brasserie Les Saveurs,

Note: in the past, the St Regis Sunday brunch was done as a buffet. However, ever since the pandemic broke out, in these post COVID-19 days, they have a fixed menu instead. And they give you A LOT of food.

As we had two kids with us – a three-year old and four-month old, we opted to go for the non-alcoholic option. Although I do recommend trying to go for Champagne if you possibly can.

With the three year old, she did not have to specially get a child menu (Child menu from ages 4-12). Thankfully, she could simply share the food with the parents at hand.

We looked around and saw a small group of chefs preparing the entrees.

Chefs hard at work

Yeap, we did get one of these later. Stay tuned.

While waiting, the bread basket arrived, along with two little cheesy chewy buns for the three-year old. 

I am a sucker for bread baskets – I actually have to restrain and remind myself that a mountain of good food will soon come our way, so hold back if possible….

Seafood Platter

Thankfully the food DID arrive. Fancifully termed the ‘Plateau De Fruits De Mer’ in French, the St Regis Sunday brunch started off with a much-anticipated seafood platter. 

Plateau De Fruits De Mer

An impressive assortment consisting of Alaskan King Crab, French Oysters, Manila Clams, Shrimps, Mussels, and cold edible seaweed, the seafood is served with lemon wedges, spicy chilli sauce and thousand island sauce.

Sunday brunch has started on a high note 🙂

My favourite? The Oysters. So fresh and yummy

Entree Froides: Cold Starters

Suddenly, a series of plates appeared.

Cold starters, or Entree Froides, at the St Regis Sunday Brunch

We saw these brought to us from the chef’s preparation tables to ours.

Marinated Salmon, Buckwheat Blinis, Sour Cream

The stafff recommended that we use the blini as a base and top it off with the fillings. 

Sleek and flavourful salmon, with rich cream, held by a blini. Mmm.

Up next was the most classic of Italian / French summer appetisers: Ham and Rock Melon. The melon was so very sweet and fresh; it well brought out the flavour of cured ham.

Bayonne Ham, Rock Melon

And home-made cheese lovers would love the next dish – smooth burrata and tomatoes. My three year old kid actually liked this so much, she kept asking for more. I think we are raising a gourmet child.

Burrata Caprese Salad, Marinated Tomatoes

Ah, rilette.. a cooked shredded meat preserved in fat. Here, duck rilettes are presented with pickles and bits of toast. 

Duck Rilettes, Bread Toast

The Duck Rilette was my favourite cold starter dish. The meat, so sinfully rich and juicy, oozed ducky goodness in every bite. It actually went well with the starter bread (more excuse to eat bread, oh dear)

For those who prefer a lighter (and more healthy) starter, the Chicken Caesar Salad is my recommended go-to.

Chicken Caesar Salad – you know the stuff is good when topped with slices of Parmesan cheese.

Bear in mind that we are simply at the COLD starters alone, and it was already a lot of food. Then, this shows up:

Chirashi Donburi

A lovely Japanese bowl of Salmon, Tuna, Octopus, Cucumber, Tamagoyaki, Salmon Roe, topped with wasabi, and rested in a bowl of sticky rice.

This again, like the other items were really good, but knowing that there were still hot starters and mains, we regretfully left much of the rice behind.

Entree Chaude: Hot Starters

“Wow…!” – my husband, when the grilled lobsters arrived.

Grilled Boston Lobster with Garlic Parsley Butter

There are times when you wonder if you should eat something, because saving stomach space is paramount, and there are times that, these thoughts just fly out of the window. These lobsters were so good – grilled to perfection and laden with melted garlic parsley butter, this was his clear favourite of the day. 

And then, still happy from the lobsters, we enjoyed seared scallops, paired with asparagus. One thing the St Regis Sunday brunch does so well is the seafood – it all carries a premium freshness and cooked to bring out the best sea flavours.

Seared Scallops, Green Asparagus, Cauliflower Coulis

Not to be outdone was the Foie Gras. A slight crunch texture on the outside but a heavenly creamy on the inside, the fruit chutney helped to mellow out the oily goose liver.

Pan Seared Foie Gras with Fruit Chutney

So far we’ve had proteins and vegatables and fats, yes? Fret not, the carbohydrates aren’t forgotten. 

Black Truffle Macaroni Gratin

The aroma and taste of truffle was strongly obvious, giving the usuallhy humble macaroni a high-class feel, lol. This too, we devoured happily.

At some point, the line between cold and hot starters and mains starts to blur, and it all just beomces.. good good food.

Les Plates De Resistance: Mains

In the St Regis Sunday brunch, diners can choose one of three mains – a beef tenderloin, a toothfish, or an impossible meat (vegetarian) option.

The husband chose the beef tenderloin.

Seared Beef Tenderloin, Mashed Potato, French Beans, Beef Jus

He chose a medium rare option. Generally the meat was soft and more tender than chewy. Beef or steak lovers would enjoy this; it’s a small portion but a highly enjoyable one.

 Myself, I had the toothfish.

Pan Seared Toothfish, Chorizo, Bell Pepper Piperade, Baby Artichoke, Rocket Pesto

I love a good oily fish, and cod, and toothfish somewhat falls in-between. Slightly heavier than cod but lighter than salmon or tuna, the pesto and chorizo really zested up the fish. Flaked easily with a fork, this is a great option for those who want a main course but are watching their calories. Though we ARE in a Sunday brunch, so the concept of calorie counting has gone out of the window by now.

Chef’s Specials

In the menu for the St Regis Sunday brunch, there is a section called “Chef’s Specials”. Akin to a side dish or an entree, these arrived both during and after our mains.

Like the Beef Tartare.

Beef Tartare, Red Radish, Soft Egg Yolk

Personally, I’ve heard people rave about the Beef Tartare, but I find it to be a bit of an acquired taste. I’m great with raw fish and sashimi, but when it comes to raw versions of beef… it doesn’t sit that well. I could see the appeal of the dish in the fresh vegetables and well-pounded meat… guess I’m not gourmet enough for this? Nevertheless I’m sure that it would have its fans.

I very much preferred the Pate instead. It’s smooth, with just the right amount of saltiness.

Pate en Croute, Onion Compote, Pickled Vegetable

One of the highlights has to be the 65 Degrees (soft-boiled) Truffled Egg, served in a Parmesan Espuma with mushrooms at the bottom. I’ve had it before at the Afternoon Tea at Brasserie Les Saveurs, and was happy that the same item is served at the St Regis Sunday Brunch. Truffle lovers would be happy – the scent and taste of it came out so strongly but not overpowering, as the egg evens the taste out in a divine smoothness. Truly one of the most unique egg dishes I’ve ever come across. If i had to pick a favourite entree-like item, THIS would be it. 

65 Degrees Celsius Egg, Mushrooms, Parmesan Espuma

The assortment of entrees and mains ended with a cheese platter.

Assorted Artisanaal Cheese Platter

And then, we were ready for dessert.

Desserts

 A huge dessert trolley makes it way across Brasserie Les Saveurs, stopping at every table to show off a grand display of desserts.

Dessert Trolley. Have as much as you fancy. 

“Look, Mama, Papa, Look… Wooooooow!” – Squeals of joy from my three year old, who was literally jumping from her seat at this point. 

Tarts, Macarons, Assorted Chocolate Pralines, Cheesecakes, Miniature Cakes

Without hesistation, we picked a bunch of tarts, mini cakes, pralines and macarons. The kid loved the chocolate tart (smooth, rich and velvety, yes) and macaron so much, we had to request for seconds. 

And just when you think that it can’t get any better, the servers bring each person a cup of nitrogen ice cream…

Nitrogen Ice Cream – citrusy flavour, I think it’s Yuzu

… and a plate of Crepe Suzette.

Crepes Suzette

Needless to say, we were STUFFED.

Worthy highlight – my personal favourite dessert was the Mont Blanc tart.

Mont Blanc

Swirly chestnut cream encapsulates a fresh creamy interior, and resting on an almond-like base…. I had died and gone to Mont Blanc heaven. 

St Regis Sunday Brunch – Final Words

To say that we loved this place was an understatement. Every food item was impeccably planned for, carefully presented, and served with pride. Food-wise, we could not find fault with this place – except that it CAN get crowded so reservations are a must.

The child-friendly staff here are another plus factor. My three-year old kid was given crayons and something to colour to entertain herself, so that the parents could take a short break.

The volume of food was massive. We did not finish everything – however, we did ask the staff for containers to take the leftovers home, and they happily obliged. 

(We had a very lovely dinner later that day, lol). 

Given the situation with COVID-19, I would say that this ‘set meal’ style of Sunday brunch is a great alternative. The quality of food is not compromised, and St Regis has done a great job to maintain the spirit of Sunday Brunch while maintaining safety protocols.
