“Champagne is one of the elegant extras in life,” Charles Dickens once said, and we couldn’t agree more

From the startling pop of the cork to the soothing fizz of each pour, champagne is a unique pleasure that adds sparkle to every occasion, especially a joyous or romantic one. 

It goes without saying then, that the ultimate indulgence at the end of a hard-fought week is to immerse in sumptuous lazy brunches accompanied by endless flows of bubbling champagne.

So if you’re in the mood for something a little elegantly extra, we’ve collated a list of the best places in Singapore for the most satisfying champagne brunches. And trust us, you don’t even need an excuse; the weekend is reason enough to celebrate.
