Garibaldi - Fantastic, Glorious, Authentic Italian Brunch

A newsletter from Angra Wine got me to take a look at Garibaldi's Ferragisto Weekend Brunch, and I like what I see on the menu, and so here I am!

The brunch spread here is so glorious, full of lots of authentic Italian classics, with hints of twists to keep things exciting. Yes, the dishes are all delicious. I love it that there is huge variety of appetisers, pastas, mains and desserts all served à la carte to the table and all comes in small portions so I can enjoy all the dishes while ordering more if I want to savour more of the free flow dishes.

The place has this classy fine dining interior, with an Italian lightness to it. Think white linen, modern dark wooden furniture, table mats with golden bronze tint, soft yellow lights, modern paintings and full-panel windows with translucent curtains. Thus the space feels impressive with hints of idyllic feel, perfect for enjoying my brunch.

The service here is impressive: being professional, friendly and responsive.

I'm so looking forward to enjoying a lovely, idyllic, satisfying, sumptuous brunch at here again.


Poached Japanese Toretama Egg, Smoked Salmon & Hollandaise Sauce is creamy and Savour with buttery umami. Love this.


Fresh Oysters has this fresh saline sweetness, and tastes refreshing with the lemon and exciting with the tabasco.


Fluffy Bread with Crispy Crust goes so well with the Olive Oil has the tint of herbal aroma.


Crispy Breadsticks that is good on their own and goes well with the olive oil too.


Australian Wagyu Beef Carpaccio, Rucola & Parmesan Cheese has light meaty sweetness of wagyu, going very well with the nutty savoury taste of the Parmesan.


Fresh Burrata Cheese from Puglia is such a luxurious treat, being creamy, milky, juicy and refreshing.


Cold Cut Platter of Speck, Parma, Spicy Salami and Mortadella are savoury with hints of meaty sweetness, featuring different taste profiles. A real treat.


Crispy Deep-Fried Crab Cake is briny sweet, and its taste is lifted up by the creamy zest in the aloli.


Aperol Spritz is refreshing, sweet, with a lace of bitterness for the smooth mouth feel.


Spaghetti "Vongole" in a White Wine & Parsley Sauce is light on palates while rich in taste because of all the different kinds of briny sweet flavours packed within. My favourite among the pasta.


Fettuccine with Minced Italian Pork Sausage in Spicy 'Nduja Sauce' tastes exciting, due to the tomatoes, and meaty because of the sausage. Fettuccine has good texture for good mouth feel and catches the meaty sauce within its curls for good enjoyment of the pasta together with zesty meaty sauce.


Ricotta Cheese Tortellini in Truffle Porcini Cream is pure creamy, earthy goodness.



Seared Salmon & Passion Fruit Yogurt Sauce features salmon that is juicy and tender. The zest in the sauce cut through the distinctive taste of salmon for balanced taste.


Grilled Black Angus Beef 'Tagliata' & Fried Polenta Cake is so meaty sweet, tender and succulent, layered with the beautiful taste of char. So good that I get a second order of this.



Dark chocolate lava cake is so decadently good and intense.


Almond tart is surprisingly super good, with a smooth sweetness that comes out when biting into this dessert. The almonds add lovely earthy aroma of nuts to highlight the sweetness.


Light, airy and divine in taste.






Thoughts: Fantastic Brunch that I totally Enjoy.

Garibaldi Italian Restaurant & Bar - Interesting Sunday Brunch

For the longest time, I had been wondering about what is the Sunday brunch at Garibaldi like; is it ala carte buffet or what? The friendly staffs there informed that they serve up a variety of dishes (antipasto, pasta, mains, desserts). And the menu for brunch changes every week. If one likes a particular dish a lot, he/she can always order a second helping since all dishes are free flow.

Though, for someone like me with a small appetite and given the generous variety of dishes served (salad, oysters, smoked salmon, sliced duck, 3 types of pasta, 2 types of mains and desserts), 1 helping of each is more than enough for me. Remember to inform the service staff on what ones does not eat (for example, I don't take beef) so they can tailor the dishes to one's preferences. Food wise, they are nice, especially the pasta, since fresh ingredients and aromatic Italian herbs are used and I did not get an allergic reaction from eating the oysters there (I usually avoid oysters due to allergy).

To be frank, I wasn't wowed by the food there (but I like the food nonetheless) and the desserts are too ordinary. Given that brunches are mainly meant for the variety rather than to be heavenly in taste, I say the brunch here is of great standard, coupled with a posh ambience and a service crew who are full of smiles, friendly and chatty;

This is the place I'll definitely consider for Sunday brunch, besides Basilico.

My Thoughts: Very Nice!
