Lord Jim's

There is a certain prestige that comes with boasting, “I'm headed to Lord Jim’s for brunch.” 

As soon as you go through the doors you're met by a grand entryway with a long aquarium that sets the mood for the underwater experience you shall receive. 

The life of the sea is prepared and presented in all its delicious glory at this riverside hotel restaurant, which serves an incredible buffet lunch every day of the week, though on Sundays they up the ante with additional delicacies that aren't laid out during the week.
"For buffet style brunch, Lord Jim’s at the Oriental Hotel cannot be beat," says chef Ian.

Officially, the Mandarin Oriental doesn't refer to it as Sunday brunch. It's just lunch. But it's an institution and if you are in search of that rare New England lobster, Dover sole or some oysters, you'll receive the best here.

Though the seafood is the real star, everything else is fantastic. There's also a great selection of delicious roast meats, Chinese dishes, Thai, pan-fried fois gras, salads and an incredible dessert spread that includes a chocolate fountain.

All is overseen by Lord Jim's talented and friendly chef Stefan Trepp.
