The acclaimed Il Ristorante — Niko Romito at Bvlgari Hotel Beijing unveils an elegant Sunday brunch series this May, blending Michelin-starred dining with relaxed weekend indulgence. The one-star establishment transforms its sophisticated space into a culinary playground where guests can experience chef Niko Romito’s signature “essential cuisine” philosophy through an artfully composed semi-buffet format. Set against the striking bronze oval counter of The Bvlgari Bar, the brunch presents authentic Italian flavors through multiple interactive stations.
At the heart of the experience lies a carefully orchestrated procession of Italian gastronomy. The antipasti station overflows with premium cured meats and more than ten varieties of artisanal cheeses, while the bakery section showcases Romito’s celebrated house-made focaccia and crisp breadsticks. Seafood enthusiasts gravitate toward the fresh catch display featuring steamed lobster and seasonal offerings, complemented by vibrant Mediterranean salads bursting with summer produce.
The culinary journey continues with made-to-order pasta and risotto dishes prepared tableside, alongside showstopping main courses like whole baked turbot adorned with olives, capers and tomato or succulent pork neck paired with fava beans and aged balsamic. For the grand finale, guests retreat to Il Ristorante’s private dining room where classic dolci including airy Tiramisu and rum-soaked Baba await.
True to Romito’s seasonal approach, the brunch menu will evolve monthly to showcase the finest available ingredients. Discerning diners can elevate their experience with curated beverage additions – from traditional Italian aperitivo to premium sparkling wines or an indulgent caviar and champagne pairing. This new Sunday tradition promises to become a highlight of Beijing’s gourmet calendar, offering both casual elegance and Michelin-starred precision in equal measure.
