Brasserie and Atrium
Beneath a sprawling skylight in an enclosed courtyard, the elegant Sunday brunches here almost always have an imaginative theme based on the inspiration of Executive Chef Peter Bolyki, and for this Easter the buffet will include holiday favorites like ham and lamb while the Csicsó Band plays spirited Gypsy music. A giant bunny and Roy the Squirrel – the eatery’s resident entertainer for tykes – allow parents a little time to relax over a glass of Hungary’s traditional pálinka fruit brandy, and of course everyone will be treated to Easter chocolates.
When: Sunday, April 5, noon to 4pm
Cost: 8,900 HUF, 50% discount for children 6-14, free for children under 6
