On my birthday this year, my best friend decided to bring me to this French fine dining restaurant for an unforgettable and luxurious weekend brunch. We ordered 2 sets of brunch priced at $398 per person.

Amuse-bouche: As a glimpse into the art of French cuisine, we were first offered this bite-sized fanciful teaser to delight the appetite. The amuse-bouche of the day was not just a visual delight, it was very delicious.

 Shucked to order Marennes d’Oléron oysters n°4: The exquisite Saturday 4-course brunch set based on seasonal ingredients started with 3 fresh oysters farmed in western France. Though oysters are a delicacy frequently consumed by the plate-load here in Hong Kong, looking for the right place can be an agonizing task. If you are looking for the cream of the crop, ÉPURE will never let you down. Those oysters were some of the finest, meatiest and freshest we had in a long while. Complemented with watermelon radish sorbet, a fruity and tingling aftertaste was left inside my mouth even after the oyster was completely swallowed. I personally prefer to have a quick chew (at least) to really savor the natural flavors of oysters, but if the briny taste is somehow a bit too overwhelming, squeeze a little lemon on top to balance out the saltiness and to retain the freshness of the oyster.

 Slow cooked organic farm egg with Basque cured ham, baby spinach & Hollandaise Sauce: It tasted far better than it looked. The egg white got a great silky mouthfeel whereas the medium-soft boiled yolk was wonderfully creamy, just like custard. The deliciousness was packed full of flavor and paired delicately with a slightly acidic Hollandaise sauce. The semi-translucent French ham was a slightly sweet with nutty aroma and very little salt to the taste. It was cut very thin and had a chewy texture.

 Freshly Baked Bread: This was such an impressive and delicious bread basket that I couldn't stop eating it. All of the bite-sized bread was baked in-house and I could literally eat the whole basket in lieu of a proper meal. The croissants were definitely the knockout items. ÉPURE has perfected the crunchy, flaky crust and splendidly soft interior of croissants.

 Butternut squash veloute, pear and chestnut: Both my friend and I were huge fans of this creamy and satisfying soup with the comforting flavors of butternut squash and pear. The chopped chestnuts added an additional richness and texture to the soup, which is perfect during the fall season.

 Spit roast of the day, cooked autumn vegetables and mesclun: I was advised the roast was chicken. The dish came in well-presented and a really decent size. The appetizing roast tasted so excellent, possibly the nicest roast chicken ever! The accompanying assorted young and tender green leaves were refreshing. My personal pick would be the Brussels sprout which was so softened on the inside but crispy on the outside.

 Seafood pot, saffron, pink garlic, citrus and basil: Another phenomenal main course of the brunch set. The seafood pot consisted of a small segment of lobster, octopus tentacle and fish. The awesome selection of fresh seafood tasted of the clean open sea and was bathed in the most delicious garlic and citrus sauce.

 40% milk chocolate- creamy and ice cold, lemon confit and cocoa tuile: The brunch experience finished off with the restaurant’s signature chocolate dessert. This chocolate lovers’ dream was heavenly delicious with a very pretty décor.

 Petits fours: Last but not least, we were provided with an assortment of bite-sized confections, which were a mastery of texture, flavor and visual presentation. My favorite was the “orange blossom” macarons. The dainty macarons were delicately crunchy on the outside, while moist, chewy, and super flavorful on the inside “orange blossom” fillings. It was a classy end to an exceptionally classy meal.

 We absolutely loved the delicious four-course brunch featuring the use of exceptionally fresh and seasonal ingredients. The service was friendly, the ambiance was cozy, and pricing was fair at this level. I would definitely recommend ÉPURE as an ideal place for a relaxing weekend.
