So. Our last morning after our last late night of our holiday and two hungover boys needed filling and fast. We stumbled up the street and was greeted by a smiley young man telling us that the best place to go for Saturday morning brunch was Soi 33.
After no resistance whatsoever, we walked towards it and realised it was the sky bar above our favourite Beach House (see previous reviews).
A sigh of relief was followed by a sigh of exhaustion as we walked up three very steep flights of stairs to the roof but was worth it for the views. The brunch menu is great (and offers mimosa lovers a great deal of unlimited mimosas for €20!!!)
After waiting over 15 mins for drink orders to be taken (poor given only one other table taken in the place) and then a further 30 mins for our bacon and egg with avocado sandwiches to arrive, it's a good job they were enjoyable. We ordered some sticky wings too (did I tell you we were hungover and hungry) that didn't arrive for a further 10 mins, we were far from impressed.
The food was very good but, with very small slate plates to host the food, it feels a bit awkward to eat it (cool and trendy) but brunch people wanting food and HOTD drinks don't need fuss. More importantly however, people don't want to pay premium rates for venue and food and have to wait an hour for food.
The staff were apologetic and comped a round of soft drinks, but nonetheless, it needs to go a long way to beat it's downstairs neighbours. Very disappointed but an experience! read more
