Home for the weekend before I'm off, and there's no better way to start the Saturday than with the weekend brunch at Adrift.

I'm not usually a fan of buffets – sadly, it's usually quantity over quality, but Adrift's, I love. At $88, you get a variety of green salads, breads and pastries, cheese and charcuterie, fresh selection of seafood including oysters [French and Irish], a trolley of side dishes [with the likes of duck gyoza and beef short rib], impeccable mains [don't even get us started on these], and desserts that are absolutely divine – it's probably the best weekend brunch in town.

The food journalist in me sampled every single thing [mind you, that's five mains apart from the buffet line] and still made room for desserts – yes, that's plural.

At Adrift, you always make room for desserts.
