For my farewell brunch with friends, we managed to score a booking here just 10 days in advance. They sometimes have promotional set menus with credit cards, so be sure to check that out 😉 Book early for brunches! We were a party of 6 people. With covid restrictions, they had to separate us to 2 tables with a tall, massive divider in between which made it almost impossible to talk / see each other, so that was a bit annoying I would advise just to come in a smaller group. Be sure to arrive befor

I would advise just to come in a smaller group. Be sure to arrive before 2:30pm too, that’s their cut off time for last orders. As we arrived late, we were cutting it close but managed to stay and eat until 6pm



The most basic option : SOMMkind of Brunch was HK$ 698 each, which includes 90 minutes free-flow of Sparking Wine, Cocktails, Fresh Juices, Coffee and Tea. 🥂🍸🍹 Although there was only a small drink selection, they were quite tasty

My favorite was their seasonal sake-based cocktail🍶.


We were given a generous portion of Baked goods 🥐🥯🍞, Smoked Salmon, and Cheese 🧀 & Ham platter as starters for sharing. What a beautiful & delicious spread
We were already very full after finishing these 🐷

We also added their signature Aka Uni French Toast (supplement HK$ 238). Tasty yes, but definitely expensive 💰for such a tiny piece!! 😕 I would recommend to just save the Uni at a sushi shop.

For mains, we ordered a Poached Cage (Egg on English muffin with black truffle butter, Hollandaise sauce & ham) , Cheese & Cage (Omelette Katsu Sando) and Scampi with zucchini (supplement HK$298).


Honestly, their mains were just very ordinary.
You can find the same items for half the price in most cafes. Definitely no need to order the Scampi and pay extra for that
They were not bad, but just not worth the supplement. My favorite dish was the Omelette Katsu Sando 🥪

To finish, we had the signature Abinao Chocolate Soufflé with Cacao Sorbet, Basque Cheesecake, Bourbon Vanilla Mille-Feuille & Vanilla ice cream.


The signature chocolate soufflé was extremely rich in dark chocolate, it was too heavy and thick for me. Their basque cheesecake was very different too. I didn’t like any desserts in particular.

To summarize, let’s just say Somm was a little underwhelming.
In terms of the decor, service, food portions and flavors. It was quite expensive 💰 for it was, especially with the supplements of Uni toast and Scampi. Their mains were very basic in general. There are many other & better brunch options!


Brunch : HK$ 1000 per person
