Hong Kong is a city where weekends are filled with boozy brunches. If you’re looking to take your standard champagne brunch one step further, head to Ozone at The Ritz Carlton for their Ultimate Dom Perignon Brunch. Indulge in a buffet spread the size of a soccer field, eat copious amounts of Joselito ham, take in the sweeping views of the Hong Kong harbor from the 118th floor, and drink all the Dom Perignon 2006 you can handle. Held every Sunday, the Ozone brunch has #treatyoself written all over it.
Buffet Spread at Ozone brunch
If you’ve only been to Ozone at night for cocktails, you’re missing out. The space is beautiful during the day, with massive floor-to-ceiling windows that offer an abundance of natural light and breathtaking views of the Hong Kong harbor.
What can you expect in terms of food? One of the unique offerings is the Joselito ham (which is meant to be the best in the world), which is carved off the leg for you. The ham was incredible and I couldn’t help but go back for a second plate. The other stations throughout Ozone were typical of a grande hotel buffet: appetizers, sushi, raw seafood, salad bar, selection from the grill, eggs benedict, live waffle station, and a massive dessert selection. Some of my favorites were the Joselito ham, deviled truffle eggs, the grilled lamb, and the tiramisu.
Verdict
If you love Dom Perignon and are able to get your money’s worth by drinking a bottle of it during brunch, it’s definitely worth it. However, if you’re not much of a champagne drinker (or can’t fully appreciate the difference between brands), then it might be hard to justify spending HK$1,298 on brunch. Don’t get me wrong, the food was great and the views (after the haze cleared up) were fantastic, but there are also plenty of other restaurants in the city that put on a lovely champagne brunch for half the price.
