Hand us a plate and let us have our pick of ripe seasonal fruit, rich and creamy cheeses and freshly baked bread, danishes and croissants.
And if you really want us to tuck in, put out a buffet of home style food … thinly carved slices of tender roast beef sirloin drizzled in a jus and a tasty French toast casserole with bacon. Yes please! Brunch at DaVinci Hotel and Suites is done simple but with a twist. You get to indulge in comforting food poolside while soaking up sunshine, breathing in fresh air and sipping on something refreshing. Whether you intend to nibble and chatter all afternoon or lounge while you savour every bite, you will find yourself having the best time with the live instrumental music playing in the background and a chilled mimosa in hand.
Making sure brunch is a breeze is executive chef of Maximillien Restaurant Atma Mahadea who loves to experiment with fusion flavours.
While the brunch menu stays the same every month, he likes to keep things exciting by adding something different to each occasion. For Easter Sunday, there was hot cross buns, chocolate bunnies and pickled fish. Our fave on-the-menu dish of the day, the chicken curry, warming and aromatic with a nice bite to it.
To cool you down and make you feel like a kid again, they have an ice cream station with cones, waffles, pancakes, sprinkles, smarties and sauces. There are also baked lemon tartlets and traditional mini malva puddings.
You can arrive casual, with the whole family, or dress up wearing your best pair of stylish shades to compliment the bold black and white stripped pool deck furnishing. With winter approaching, there are heaters and seating indoors.
Brunch @ The Pool Deck is served on the last Sunday of every month at DaVinci Hotel and Suites from 11am to 2pm and costs R385 per person – so worth it! Pre-book on 011-292-7169. Details: legacyhotels.co.za
