Scalini has always been beautiful like we remember. Since we visit them in the afternoon, we can see the New York’s Speakeasy-inspired interior more clearly. Dark wooden floor, black and gold wall decorated in Industrial Loft Style always make us excited to be there. Our favorite corner is the aisle close to a big window with sunshine, because here is where the light comes and reflect our white tablecloth and dinnerware. This make us feel warm and ready for the food soon to be served!
As we have mentioned, Scalini’s Sparkling Sunday Brunch consists of two parts: Buffet Line to choose and Fine Dining to order. 10 Fine Dining menus can be ordered unlimited. Now we will bring you to see the Buffet Line. One of the first ones is, of course, the Antipasto and one of Bangkok’s best Seafood On Ice.
A big highlight is Seafood on Ice corner. Although not gigantic, the quality is premium compare to its size. Come and say hello to Lobsters, king of prawns, Alaska King Crabs, Tiger Prawns and a full can of Caviar. Prepare your seafood sauce cos tons of fresh and fibulas seafood are on the way.
Move a bit to the buffet corner. This corner presents you a full collect of premium cold cut. This corner also provided you various kinds of side dish such as crispy bread, dried pumpkin seeds, shallots, pickles, olive pickles and Anchovy. If you want to go healthy, let’s have a look at the salad bar with a wide selection of salad dressing and the big cut of fresh and sweet beetroot. The buffet room dominant by an Antipasto table. It might be a bit odd for Thai people. But don’t be hesitate to try! However, if you don’t sure where to start, here we come with some suggestion.
Beef Salad, a grilled beef with a brownish exterior and pink interior served with fresh salad and sour-sweet sesame mayo dressing.
Mama Cosetta Pork Tonnato, a thin slice of pork in cream cheese based sauce mixed with olive oil and mayonnaise
Tiger Prawns with Young Leaf Salad & Spider Crab Mayonnaise, a boiled Tiger Prawns mixed with young leaf salad served with blue crab mayonnaise salad dressing.
If that still not satisfy your stomach, let’s try Liguria Parma Ham and Melon Honey Black Truffle Dressing and White Balsamic Marinated Vegetables Caramel Pine Nuts Parmensan Shaves. Those fabulous menus also served you with a piece of cheeses and other remarkable side dishes.
Most of the menu in Bucharest come in the ‘all you can eat’ buffet version. This one, however, also features an a la carte items; it is called the Unlimited A La Minute Menu. And indeed we had a relaxed, lazy Sunday morning, with a great food choose from several options.
Egg Benedict
Smoke salmon, Creamy Spinach, Dill Hollandaise
An egg Benedict we chose were a tasty start to our journey. A thick slice of English muffins are made in-house daily, a spread has a perfect balance of sour Hollandaise sauce and rich cream spinach, a salty smoked salmon is served on top and poached eggs only need a gentle nudge to release their runny yolk. This classic serve is surely a must for every Sunday brunch and Scalini has it cooked in a remarkable way.
Porcini Cappuccino
Portobello Pesto, Garnished & Parmesan Foam
Then come a hot bowl of Porcini soup with its original mushroom smell. This soup has an intensely earthy flavor in this smooth cream. Add it more special with parmesan foam, a slice of thin bread, and a stir-fried cubical cut porcini in olive oil.
Foie Gras Tasting
Pan Seared & Brulee, Strawberry, Thyme Salsa, Brioche & Balsamic Reduction
To make sure your Sunday brunch is truly prestige, do not miss a foie gras menu. The first one began with a piece of grilled foie gras delicately placed on a crispy bread. There are a berry sauce and balsamic dressing on top. The second menu is a creamy foie gras buret comes nicely in a small jar.
Lobster Themidor
Creamy mustard sauce, Cognac, Hollandaise and Gruyere
At Scalini, you’ll find a gigantic lobster that challenges all preconceived notions of the brunch dish.Fried a lobster meat in mustard sauce and cognac before served in its shell and top up with Hollandaise sauce, this adorable lobster is, again, baked in an oven till it goes well done. Yet another premium quality Lobster Themidor we would love you to try.
Spaghetti Alla Chitarra
Boston Lobster in a Sicilian way
Try also an Alla Chitarra homemade Spaghetti cooked with Lobster in a Sicilian’s special sauce. The sauce is not too strong, so it doesn’t overcome a smell of lobster.
Oyster Rockefeller
Baked Oysters with Green herbs, Butter Sauce Breadcrumb
Premium size oyster baked in green herbs. This premium menu made some herb in anticipation by heat an oyster up on the grate with various kind of green herbs before adding in butter sauce on top. Mixed with mash bread, the sauce is outstanding for its playful texture and gorgeous smell. Once the oyster all have a generous heap of flavor added, an Oyster Rockefeller is ready to serve!
Sauteed Black Mussels
Espelette Chilly, White wine sauce
Stir fried Sautèed served with a tender white wine and bell pepper sauce. A deep fried tofu is on the side to balance the sauce sensation. Eat it when it’s hot!
Tournedos Rossini
Truffle mashed potato, Spinach, Foie gras, Madeira demi-glace
There has been other fancy dish you shouldn’t miss at Scalini, a medium rare Tournedos meat accompanied by a thick piece of foie gras. Served with warm and fluffy mash potato, the dish is light up with truffle and salty-buttery madeira demi-glace sauce. With its premium steakhouse quality, we found it one of the best menus for a brunch.
Slow Cooked Lamb ribs
Truffle Puree, Lentil Stewed
A slow cooked lamb ribs seasonal up with Truffle Purèe and lentil stew. The pairing sauce was juicy with a touch of sweet, perfectly matching with meat.
Took time enjoying savory, and still, somehow, managed to find some room for the dessert – which you could chose it from the selection on display presented in a chiller. Adorable choices are mostly Italian with homemade sorbet.
Parmesan Cheese Panna Cotta With Cinnamon Pear Compote
Cardamon Banana Semifreddo
Milk Chocolate Mousse with Caramelized Orange

A beverage package, which can include this fabulous Free Flow Proseco, is available for you only at 2,500 THB net.
Scalini Sunday brunch also has plenty options in a buffet line, our best suggestion is to first order your choice from A La Minute menu before exploring more items. Staff might take sometime to prepare your dish before delivering it right to your table in a good order as you require. Running from late morning into mid-afternoon (12.30-15.30), Scalini offer a range of gourmet ingredients from around the globe, classic settings as well as limitless amounts.
