5 and a half hour brunch

So on Sunday I got to go to the legendary all you can drink champagne at the St Regis Hotel on Reforma.

The great thing about Reforma, a beautiful tree lined boulevard through the centre of the city, is that around 5km of it is closed to traffic on a Sunday from 7am - 2pm. This means that people can walk, jog, roller skate  and cycle up and down this lovely wide street! The Jacaranda trees are also in full bloom, which makes for a glorious purple promenade...

The hotel is everything you would expect from a 5* hotel. My friend who I went with has been many many times was welcomed with open arms by the waiters who had not seen him for a while.

So it cost about £60 for drink as much as you like Veuve Cliquot champagne and eat as much as you like food. The food was great. So tasty! I tried 3 different types of tamales stuffed with chicken, cheese and chilli. These were awesome. I tried some of one of the guys breakfast type meal. This was fried tortilla chips covered in a green chilli sauce with cheese and then a chicken breast sliced over the top. It was absolutely delicious and if I hadn't ordered scrambled egg already I would have ordered some of this!

Flambed prawns, scrambled eggs, refried beans (which were gorgeous) and a massive table of desserts with a showcase of a chocolate sculpture and sugar sculpture:

Two of the tables I didn't even get to! There was a sushi bar, meat bar, pasta bar, seafood bar, salad bar. So a good excuse to go back I think! The champagne kept on flowing, and I think I must have had about 2 bottles... fortunately as it was over such a long time period I managed to make it home not too drunk. A fabulous way to spend a Sunday!!!
