If you like your weekends loud, vibrant, and packed with bold flavours, this BKC restaurant is the place to be. Known for its gorgeous aesthetics and high-energy music, this spot has quickly become a local darling for its fusion tapas. The centrepiece of their weekend brunch is a massive grazing table and an interactive, live taco and slider station.

European leisure

PIC COURTESY/ODE

And dig into a rotating Sunday Roast carved live before your eyes. From Buff Wellington, to Cashew Miso Roast Eggplant, the menu changes weekly, keeping things unpredictable. Wash it down with their signature unlimited cocktails like the Amalfi Noon or Scarlet Smoke.
