Restaurant review: Brunch offering is bang on trend at Léa’s at The Glucksman

Léa’s at The Glucksman

These are brutal times for hospitality and even the finest pastry chef in the land would be hard-pressed to sugarcoat that bitter reality.

Currently, it is hard to tell whether much of the sector is taking refuge in the safe harbour of a ‘brunch menu’ or is it simply responding to a voracious dining public seeking comfort in more familiar fare, a public also mindful of a lower price point than nocturnal dining which inevitably includes a lot more pricey alcohol than the occasional glass of bubbles in evidence in today’s absolutely hopping room — Léa’s is just one of three new serious brunch openings in the city in recent times, along with Paperboys and Proby’s Kitchen.
