Brunch Club

As I sit in Brunch Club writing this review, the place is empty. The woman working on a computer in the corner, who I thought was another customer, turns out to be an employee. Perhaps it’s empty because of the rain, or because it’s a Sunday night, or perhaps because people have noticed what I have noticed:
— Employees in the kitchen licking their fingers as they munch food
— Super slow service (I ordered bread and a Bloody Mary and it took over five minutes even though the place is empty?)
— substandard preparation (my Bloody Mary contained a lemon wedge. It seemed as if it had been purposefully squeezed to inject all of its bitter, bothersome seeds into my drink. Which promptly either got stuck in my mouth or my straw — neither of which is a place in which they belong.)
Will finish my snack but likely won’t be back.

My wife and I decided to try a new brunch place, and we had walked by the Brunch Club one day, so we thought, why not?
The restaurant looked inviting, and it was pretty packed (expected for a Sunday morning). Because it was so crowded, we were seated n a back corner of the patio that felt more like a converted storage area.
We ordered the Eggs Benedict that the Brunch Club is known for. My wife said «I’m not wowed». I got the Croque Monsieur. It was very heavy and bready.
The hot chocolate and coffee were good. The service was fair. It’s safe to say we will not be going back.

I’ve come here on two separate occasions at the suggestions of friends who raved about the eggs benedicts here. I’ve tried both the salmon benedict and the sausage benedict. In my opinion, the latter is much more flavorful and satisfying than the former. But overall, I find the eggs benedicts here to be just okay, nothing mind-​blowing. When it comes to western brunches, I think I still prefer eating the larger portions in America.
Also, make sure you come early on the weekends. I’ve had to sit outside in the back alley under the burning heat both times because I came during prime time. There was a little fan behind me, but it really didn’t do much to cool me down.

Pretty average eggs benedict and the coffee wasn’t much better. Far better options in and around the soho/​sheung wan area than this

Service was awful. Pancakes very dry. There was no shortage of staff. Waited 15 mins for tea. And over 45 mins for pancakes. In between that one a couple already walked out!!!

Possibly a place where the full breakfast options are better than their sandwiches. The club sandwich was mediocre. Go for the breakfast. Cozy atmosphere and busy on the weekends.

We came here for a western style brunch during our visit since it was highly recommended. This little café had a beautiful courtyard and we were seated almost immediately. We ordered coffee (I had a cappuccino) and these were good, but nothing special. I ordered the Monte Cristo with a fried egg on top. This was delicious, but took more than 20 minutes to arrive. Also, I think I would have preferred this on brioche bread instead of the raisin one, which made it a little too sweet. Overall, the atmosphere was lovely and I would go back just to snack and enjoy a cup of coffee.

A nice brunch chain that is busy on weekends but offers a cozy atmosphere and satisfying fare.
This location in SOHO is located on a nice quiet stretch of Peel street. If you do not like walking uphill I recommend taking the escalator to Caine road then walking West (turn right off escalator) to Peel street and then downhill.
I stopped in for breakfast on a Tuesday morning before work at 8:30am and only 2 other customers where present, giving it a nice relaxing atmosphere. I ordered the omelette with bacon and a coffee. The coffee was smooth and served at the perfect temperature. The egg of my omelette was fluffy and was filled perfectly. The dish came with a light salad and a large slice of wheat toast that rounded out the meal.
I highly recommend giving this place a try during the week if you’re looking for a quiet breakfast that is less of a greasy-​spoon than they other breakfast joint on Old Bailey…

People love brunches on the weekends… and that’s why Brunch Club attracts a crowd on the weekend to line up on the quiet Peel Street just above Soho.
I’ve heard many good comments on Brunch Club for years but I only had the chance to try it for the first time on my birthday this year. My partner and I took a day off on my birthday. We slept in till late and the moment we woke up, both of us coincidentally said, «let’s go to Brunch Club!» Here we go, trying it for the first time on a quiet Wednesday morning without the need to wait in line! We’ve been back a couple of times since then.
My go-​to brunch is the eggs benedict. Their poached eggs are made perfectly every time with the hollandaise sause… I must say this is one of the best eggs benedict I’ve tried in Hong Kong. You can also choose your meat, ham, bacon or salmon, etc…
Besides having brunch, this place is also great for relaxing, sipping a cup of coffee and just reading a magazine. They have plenty of free magazines on the wall available for you to pick up.
I recommend this place for you to come during weekdays — just for an escape to somewhere relaxing. Mind you it’s not so relaxing on the weekends though.

I arrived for lunch at around 12:15 on a weekday and walked in to this cute little restaurant. The décor was great and it was had a very laid back atmosphere. I was meeting up with a group of friends, and was informed by the waitress that we had to sit outside because we hadn’t made a reservation. The patio wasn’t too horrible on this hot day because they had a very large fan blowing towards us.
I was in a bit of a hurry so I decided to order from their set lunch menu. The smoked duck salad was amazing. It was tender, juicy, and an explosion of flavor. I have been here in Hong Kong for a while, but this was my first experience with smoked duck and I will be looking for it again in the future.
I was really looking forward to getting my New Zealand steak after having such a great experience with the salad. It came out and looked lovely, but it was undercooked! I took the first bite, and it was pretty rare. Then it dawned on me that I was never asked how I wanted my steak cooked. Never order a steak if your not asked how you want it cooked! Needless to say, it was almost purple on the inside and tasted like it had been thawed. Management was understanding and offered to make me another steak. Since I was in a rush, they just compensated my meal and apologized.
The potatoes were a pleasant surprise. They were two large slices scalloped and smothered in a tasty cheese sauce. The veggies were fresh, but nothing special.
As I was on my way out, this place was really starting to get busy. Make a reservation if you want indoor, air conditioned seating.
