Best Brunch: Qube, The Leela Palace


The best brunch award is a difficult one to select. I’m still partial to the Machan brunch, brilliantly run by Tapash Bhattacharya, but the restaurant itself looks so dated and so much in need of a make-over that it is hard to give it an award.
These days, I end up going to Qube most often. I love the look and feel of the restaurant with its air of peace and tranquility, sunlight lazily streaming in through the windows and trees all around.
But mostly it is the food that keeps me going back, again and again. The buffet is superb but it is the specialty counters that are the most impressive: world class sushi and sashimi (from the Megu team), surprisingly authentic Thai, wonderful live desserts and the best steaks in India (not part of the brunch but worth paying extra for) from the Leela’s super-chef Glenn Eastman.
