Versante Hotel’s acclaimed on-site restaurant introduces
weekend brunch buffet and enticing new fall dishes

With a show-stopping weekend brunch buffet and an exquisite lineup of fall dishes to explore, Bruno is a must-visit for both locals and travellers.

Since its inception, Bruno, led by Executive Chef William Lew, has received high praise for its innovation, memorable presentations and elevated cuisine. Each of these elements are woven into the newly-launched weekend brunch buffet spread. Notable highlights include:

A rotating selection of housemade bread and pastries including stuffed croissants and sweet and savoury scones
An ice bar and salad station with sushi, mussels, clams, smoked salmon and ahi tuna tartare
A carvery station with prime rib and a weekly rotating selection of other mains
A hot bar that features eggs Benedict, Fraser Valley sausages, a rotating pasta, and roasted vegetables
Eggs and omelettes made-to-order
A dessert station with housemade cannoli, chocolate bark, truffles, panna cotta, tiramisu, and more.

A number of creative cocktails and zero-proof refreshments complete this deluxe affair. Enjoy tableside presentation with a roaming Caesar and mimosa cart, or imbibe in the photo-worthy Bubble Bath, which includes your choice of bubbly by the bottle alongside a selection of fresh fruit juices and garnishes for the table. Bruno’s weekend brunch buffet is available on Saturdays and Sundays, 11am – 2:30pm. $59 per adult, $25 for kids under 12. View the full menu and reserve online.
