Last Sunday at noon, Sid, Antara, and I headed out for lazy brunch.




A surprisingly short drive later we were at the beautiful Claridges, Surajkund saying hello to Parul, and Mukta who came bearing delicious cookies!




The brunch offerings were extensive with something for everyone: antipasti, salads, Italian, Chinese, Indian, desserts.




The best part: Unlimited refills of sparkling wine. Seriously my flute was never once empty!







This is a wonderful place if you’re looking for an out-of-town feel without really going very far at all.




The ambience is lovely – you can choose to sit indoors or out in the winter sun.







This is what you’ll see if your eyes wander upwards.







The whole experience is languorous and relaxed and comfortable, just as a brunch should be.




Ask the chef to create a signature pizza for you, cut yourself a piece from a gorgeous leg of ham, nibble on some fresh bread, and even sneak a smiley face from the kid’s section 🙂




Here’s a look at the offerings.




Fresh, warm bread station.







How often do you see baby octopus in a brunch buffet?







Or pickled sardines in oil and garlic for that matter?







Lots of cheese and fruit and crackers for everyone.













Sushi lovers can celebrate.







And take a look at this beauty – fresh wasabi root. Isn’t that a gorgeous green?







There was a huge leg of ham which I fell in love with. I wanted to take it home, introduce it to my parents, and start a family with it.







Here’s a look at my many plates that afternoon.













Small portions of lovely vegetables and mini salads.










Chef Gurjyote Singh is a master plater in my opinion.







He also offered to make us custom pizzas. Here’s the pepperoni.







Chocolate fountains are marvelous. I wish I had one next to me at all times. It would make me a happy person.







For dessert I had a vanilla panacotta, coffee profiterole, and pineapple dipped in chocolate.







We also had Mukta’s yummy cookies,







and the liqueur chocolates Antara brought 🙂







As always, it was the people who made the afternoon really memorable.
Here are the smiling ladies.







And here’s Sid, whom we love, especially because he took Antara and me shopping AND played catalyst in one of THE funniest moments in my life.







Drop by The Claridges at Surajkund, with your family or friends for a relaxed Sunday brunch. It’s a perfect winter outing 🙂
