The Provencal pique-nique (“picnic” in French) brunch at Summer Hill draws its inspiration from the French tradition of elegant picnics that date back centuries.
It’s usually a community affair, bringing friends and family together for a leisurely meal — something that chef Anthony Yeoh wanted to replicate at Summer Hill.
He describes his spirit animal as a grandma who loves to feed people well, and that’s precisely how our experience with the new menu felt like: Being invited to a family picnic out in the sun of southern France, where you can truly unwind and savour a delicious meal in good company.
This new weekend-only brunch menu began on Jun 15, and while we don’t know for sure when it’ll run until, we understand that it’ll be around until at least August.
As before, Summer Hill dishes out its brunch items from a wooden trolley — much like a dim sum cart — which has been making its rounds around social media of late.
Oh, and did we mention that you can eat to your heart’s desire? During the brunch, you’ll be served one full round of the menu (minus the dessert), after which you can ask for repeats of any dish. The desserts, once served, are similarly all-you-can-eat, too.
There is a two-hour dining limit, though, so be sure to pace yourself!
