Bottomless Brunch: Champagne or Mimosas?
When you hop into a bottomless brunch in Singapore, the bill almost always ends up being more about the endless flows of spirits than the clever menu. After all, who would want to pay extra for a fancy hotel handing out vintage champagne?
Ginett Singapore’s Weekend Miracle
French bistro Ginett Singapore has pulled a trick that might sound like a marketing typo: 2 hours of all‑you‑can‑drink Mimosas for just $15++ from 11:30 am to 4 pm.
- Why the price feels magical: Two hours of bubbly at a low price is like discovering a hidden gem in a city that loves to over–spend.
- What’s included: A steady stream of mimosas, no extra charges for the drinks (except the small corner fee).
- How to fit it in: Ideal for weekdays or weekends when you want to test your brunch stamina.
If this looks too good to be true, just remember that even the best deals sometimes come with a small twist—like a “+” for an extra drink or a small tip. But for most bold brunchers, the temptation is hard to resist. Cheers!
Ginett – Where the Buzz Meets the Feast
We walked into Ginett with the hopes of sipping some fizzy joy and enjoying a tasty bite. Turns out there are a few rules to keep the bubbly flowing, and the food sure did not disappoint.
Rule #1: Main Course Required
- Think of it as the “must-eat” checklist. Anything that’s not a salad, cheese, cold cuts, side, or dessert counts.
- Lazy diners, sorry – you need that main to qualify for the bubbly deal.
Rule #2: Mimosas – Flutes or Crash?
Even though the service was slick and our flutes never stayed empty, those pre‑batched mimosas were a bit “crushable.” They lacked that kick of freshly popped bubbles.
But here’s a quick hack if you’re willing to spend a smidge more:
- Grab an additional bottle of their house sparkling wine (the one used in the mimosas) – it’s around $40.
- Whenever you feel the fizz is dwindling, top up your glass. The result? A bubbly experience on demand.
Main Courses – What To Order
Omelette ($12)
The omelette was the sweet spot for us: a firm outer shell cradling a creamy core bubbling with Gruyère cheese.
It arrived with generous portions of Paris ham and mushrooms, a side salad, and roast potatoes. Good eat!
Shakshuka ($12)
Vegetarian triumph! The classic Shakshuka gets an Eastern twist here – tofu joins the usual suspects of chickpeas, tomatoes, and peppers. The sauce is lively, and the bread? You’ll want to mop it up.
Rotisserie Chicken (Free‑Range Organic)
We chose the half‑portion for $14 (whole is $24). The herbs kissed the skin, and it came out crisp and crackly. Even the breast was tender and juicy, making it one of the best we’ve tasted lately.
Bottom line: Main courses are affordable, well‑made, and – with a tiny extra spend – keep the bubbles humming.
Takeaway
If you’re looking to pair a meal with an occasional fizz, Ginett pays attention to both. Just remember to order a main course, grab a spare bottle if you’re playing the “more fizz” game, and savor the dishes that hit halfway between indulgent and budget‑friendly.
Deliciously Simple: Why Ginett’s Homemade Tagliatelle is a Must‑Try
At Ginett, the egg tagliatelle is absolutely a showstopper, and if you’re hungry for creamy, comforting pasta, the Carbonara (18 bucks) tops the list—way better than the pricier Olio Scampi (21 bucks) that tries to combine tiger prawns and bacon.
Cheese Heaven: From Classic to Quirky
The menu boasts a sprawling selection of French AOC cheeses, from beloved classics like Brie de Meaux and Camembert to more adventurous picks such as Tomme de Savoie. The sweet tooth can be tamed by swapping dessert for a delightful round of dairy, nuts, and dried fruit.
Price & Pick‑It‑Up
Cheese lovers can start at $18 for two varieties, then spice things up with the One Metre Board (58 bucks) after the mains—perfect for keeping the next round rolling.

Find the place in the Hotel G at 200 Middle Road, Singapore 188980. Weekend brunch is a treat from 11:30 am to 4 pm on Saturdays and Sundays.
