Darwin – the cool and casual brasserie 36 floors up at Sky Garden – is celebrating lighter, brighter days with the launch of its sky-high Sunday brunch menu by head chef Arnuad Delannay.
“rhubarb”– the team behind the food at Sky Garden’s two restaurants and bar – is taking brunch to new heights from 11.30am to 4.30pm every Sunday while resurrecting that most retro of restaurant trends: the buffet table.
Buffet Beautiful
In signature “rhubarb” style, this beautiful buffet – divided into Breakfast and Dessert and priced at £38 per person together with a hot dish from the kitchen – comes on a table that groans under the weight of fabulous fare: choose from a revamped ‘bloody mary’ prawn cocktail with fresh horseradish; an asparagus ‘vinaigrette’ with truffle, peas, broad beans and goats’ cheese; through to glazed, cooked or smoked ham with smoked salmon and a heritage loom tomato salad.
Sweeter treats include a tower of waffles with berry compote and ice-cream, doughnuts, roast peach sundae and pain d’epices. All of which is best enjoyed at a table with sweeping views as day breaks over the city.
Milkshake Bar & Bottomless Bloodies
The undisputed star of the show is the Milkshake Bar which completely reinvents that kids’ classic with both sweet (vanilla bean, fresh berry, banana, caramel) and savoury (spicy tomato, blueberry, kale) twists on the traditional.
Meanwhile, the bottomless Bloody Mary Bar provides the perfect hangover-healers for the day after the night before: pick between a tried-and-trusted original, clamato, bullshot or no-booze virgin.
Some Like It Hot
Hot dishes are also available to order from the kitchen, too, from breakfast items like a classic eggs benedict and corned beef hash alongside lunchtime staples such as salted beef brisket and roast leg of lamb. Vegetarian options, meanwhile, include a super spinach and ricotta tortellini and a gorgeous grilled lemon sole.
