If you've been wondering how to fill your Sunday mornings (and your hungry belly) in Cape Town, here's the answer: The Pot Luck Club has relaunched its insanely popular Sunday Brunch, offering a multi-course brunch menu, Bottomless Bubbles and the best Bloody Mary in town.
Those dramatic city views (if you know, you know) and Asian-inspired small plates have made Pot Luck a hit since it opened in 2012, but the Sunday Brunch offers a whole new reason to visit. Instead of the usual à la carte menu, Sunday Brunch (R950pp) features a set menu of nine or ten unique dishes you won't find on offer any other day of the week. Say goodbye to FOMO. Executive Chef Jason Kosmas said: ‘We've purposefully done this to be an entirely different Pot Luck experience. We want Sunday mornings to be something to look forward to.’
The brunch is a delicious roster of plates, all tapping into the punchy flavor-forward style that's made Pot Luck so popular. The menu begins with fresh local oysters, before rolling through brunch favorites like buttery brioche with mushroom duxelle, a seasonal salad, Asian sesame, and Kosmas' famous take on a classic Arnold Bennett omelette. After a heartier main course – usually duck – you'll get seasonal desserts and an array of petit fours. Unreal.
And you won't go thirsty either. Alongside the wine list is the popular Bottomless Bubbles offering (an extra R530pp), this year featuring Cap Classique (South Africa's champagne-style sparkling wine) from Boschendal in the Franschhoek Winelands, and a Bloody Mary station of house-infused vodkas and a collection of spices and flavorings on hand. You can DIY, or ask the mixologists to stir it up. Throw in a live jazz band and a table of your nearest and dearest, and you've got the best way to start your Sunday in the city.
