Cinnamon Lakeside Colombo’s ‘Bubbly Brunch on the Lake’ gives diners an opportunity to experience the true elegance of 8° on the Lake, the hotel’s floating venue. Otherwise available only for private events, the hotel hosts a stylish Sunday brunch for diners who wish to experience for themselves Colombo’s only floating venue.
The majestic 70 by 30 foot vessel accommodates up to 100 passengers, however seating is limited to 40 at the Bubbly Brunch as it utilises only the air conditioned lower deck.
Chef Martin Bequart, Executive Chef at Cinnamon Lakeside Colombo, pulls out all the stops for this weekly affair. The food perfectly complements the elegance of the venue and has rightfully received rave reviews.
Whilst the menu varies often to offer variety to regular diners, it often features roast leg of lamb, beef ribeye and a selection of mussels, prawn and lobster in addition to several other delicious dishes. The dessert buffet makes the calories worthwhile with an array of rich and lighter treats to choose from. The lemon meringue tart and miniature opera cakes are particular favourites.
To accompany the fabulous food on this three hour cruise is an unlimited supply of bubbly. Diners can enjoy a Sunday outdoors while cruising on the serene waters of the Beira Lake.
Those who love it share it. The experience has been known to be a popular gift choice amongst those who have experienced it. The brunch will take place next on 12 and 26 May and 16 and 30 June.
