In the Newest Sunday Brunch in the City, There’s Unlimited Seafood, Roasts, and Stunning City Views
Several upscale hotels and resorts in the city offer Sunday brunch—the long, leisurely meal favored by people looking to bond over a mix of breakfast and lunch items—and each has its own charms. A relatively new one located in a property up north is staking a strong claim as the best in the city, offering premium items not just on the plate, but unbeatable views of the city skyline.
Finestra at Solaire North
Finestra is Solaire Resort and Casino’s signature restaurant. When the Enrique-Razon-owned property opened a second location in Quezon City called Solaire North, it came with its own version of Finestra as well. Located on the property’s 38th floor, Finestra at Solaire North is an Italian steakhouse that serves fine menu items like its signature Florentine steak and other grill items, pastas, soups, and desserts like panna cotta, gelato, and cheesecake.

On Sundays, however, Finestra opens as a brunch spot with an impressive and tasty buffet spread. Friendly waitstaff will show you to your table as soon as you arrive. Request for one right beside the floor-to-ceiling windows for gorgeous views of Quezon City and beyond. On clear days, you can see the mighty Sierra Madre mountains from this vantage point.

Start your brunch journey with a wide selection of breads and cheeses or an Italian seafood platter that contains servings of poached lobster, king prawns, fresh oysters, crabs, and mussels, scallops, and clams.
Then, if you must have your morning eggs, choose from four distinct styles prepared a la minute: Benedettine (egg benedict , parma ham, hollandaise sauce); Fiorentine (egg , sourdough, wilted spinach); Al Purgatorio (baked egg with tomato and herb sauce, roasted peppers); and Frittata con Verdure (Italian style omelet with herbs and seasonal vegetables).

Then, there’s a choice of pastas. We recommend the Fusilli al Tonno (fusilli pasta, yellowfin confit tuna capers) and the Risoni Allo Zafferano e Salsiccia (risoni saffron and sausages).
Walk over to the grill station to choose from a selection of chicken, beef, or pork roasts plus sides. And of course, there’s a dessert station with a decadent mix of cakes and pastries to finish off the meal.
