In Suzhou today, there is probably no better place to experience Brunch than Renaissance Nisheng Hotel R BAR. Since its opening in 2005, Renaissance Nisheng Hotel is part of Marriott Hotels and has been named one of the "Top 100 Hotels in China" by Private Geographic and the "2017 Certificate of Excellence" from TripAdvisor, a well-known travel website. There are three on-site restaurants: Renaissance Chinese Restaurant, Ran Buffet Restaurant and Yat Ting R Bar, where R BAR is both a restaurant and a night bar, serving Brunch, afternoon tea and a variety of drinks. The Brunch is currently only available on weekends from 11:30-14:00 and is served in a semi-buffet style for 168 RMB plus 15% service charge.
In R BAR's Brunch, the main course and dessert are a la carte, and the rest of the dishes are self-served. At the beginning of the buffet, diners can open their taste buds with fruits and vegetables, and the Greek, seafood, Thai and Waldorf salads can be selected with fresh ingredients. Later, when it comes to cold cuts and seafood, Parma ham from Italy is crimson in color, evenly distributed in fat, salty and soft in the mouth; The salmon fillet is light and smoky, and it is fatty and not greasy. Others like salami, Spanish dried ham and large oysters are also of good quality. In between meals, you can make a cup of tea with TWG, the world's most popular high-end tea brand, and the tea bags are made of 100% cotton cloth and all hand-sewn. The classic 1837 series supplied by R BAR is based on black tea and green tea, with the addition of flowers, fruits and caramel flavors, and the tea aroma is very layered.
After the appetizer, the Brunch classic Eggs Benedict is served, with a gush of egg yolk mixed with golden hollandaise sauce that is enough to make people droop for a long time. In addition to Benedict, freshly cooked egg stalls also serve omelettes and scrambled eggs, so diners who prefer to fry on one or both sides should tell the chef in advance. Eat until three or four minutes full, the main dish is served, the main course of the restaurant generally has 2 kinds of choice, the restaurant will update the menu from time to time, among which the rib eye steak is the one with the highest order rate. The grass-fed beef is low in fat, full of muscle fiber, and full of toughness.
After the main course, fill the last gaps in your stomach with a filling amount of foods such as waffles, bread, pasta, sausages, etc. Most of these meals are prepared on site, and diners can give the dog tag on the table to the chef after ordering, and the service staff will help pick up the food and bring it to the seat. There are only two options for the finishing dessert, chocolate mousse and tropical fruit, and the two desserts are beautifully presented but slightly sweeter, and you may need to eat a salad to relieve the sweetness after eating, which is not considered a success as a finishing dish.
Although there is still a lot of gap between the Brunch and some star-rated hotels in Shanghai and Hangzhou, the Brunch is rich in variety and fresh ingredients, and the price per capita is less than 200 yuan. In the past two years, Caffè Florian, once known for its high-end Brunch, and Perbacco in Italy have all scrapped their brunch menus, and now there is only one restaurant left in Sioux City to eat a different Brunch.
Located on the first floor of the Renaissance Nisheng Hotel, the restaurant features bronze lines and leather sofas to create a retro-classic dining environment. The service staff is well-trained, sincere and not humble or arrogant, leading the position, serving, introducing, refilling, and withdrawing the dish actively and timely, and the service is meticulous and intimate. On weekends, Brunch is busy, so it is recommended to book one day in advance.
