Easter is almost here! More serious folks will find this a time to reflect. For the rest of us though, it’s a time to get together, legitimately inhale chocolate by the boatload, and feast! Easter is sometimes known as the Feast of Feasts; granted, the meaning isn’t exactly or entirely about food – but when we look at the goodies available during Easter, we can’t help but remember this phrase.

Here’re a few that we’ve been drooling over!

Altro Zafferano

Where better to celebrate Easter than in a beautiful Italian restaurant which deliciously and seamlessly brings tradition and modernity together? On 18 and 19 April, feast in Altro Zafferano where, from 12pm to 3pm, a most delectable Easter Brunch ($88++ per person) is delicately presented in generous servings including savoury 36-month Aged Parma Ham served with Sicilian rock melon; piping hot Lasagna with Beef Bolognaise; and traditional Easter protein lamb in the form of a perfectly executed Roasted Lamb Leg.

Those with sweet teeth would be thrilled by the Easter Dessert Trolley which showcases classic Italian Easter perfection – classic Colomba and Pastiera Napoletana. Those who want something both creamy and luscious can dive into their Tiramisù. Families will be glad to hear that children below 6 years of age will dine free!

Baker X – Petit Goûter

The upcoming resident in Baker X, Petit Goûter, specialises in timeless bakery favourites, celebrating the beauty of simple, refined flavours with a delicate European touch. Trained in Le Cordon Bleu, Ecclesia – the woman behind Petit Goûter – perfects her bakes with high quality ingredients and classic European techniques.

For Easter in Baker X, inspired by the idea of Easter bunnies, Petit Goûter presents an Easter-Eggsclusive Spiced Carrot Cake ($7.90 per piece; $48 for the entire loaf), created from scratch with grated carrots and infused with warm spices such as cinnamon and cardamom. A luscious house-made cream cheese frosting, whipped with a hint of the same spices, is draped over the cake.

Sol & Ora

From 18 to 20 April, the Latin-Mediterranean rooftop restaurant overlooking the coast of Sentosa will offer an a-la-carte brunch buffet from 12pm to 4pm ($68++ per adult; $38++ per child).

Featuring 20 delightful canapés inspired by local and Mediterranean flavours, highlights include the Crispy Corn Tortilla with Marinated Crispy Pork with Romesco & Quail Egg, full of texture; and Laksa Shooters, whose simple name belies the rich flavours. There are plenty of veggie options too, such as the Curry & Potato Empanadillas with Yoghurt; and the Fried Toasties with Cheddar Cheese, Kaya & Oat. A fun selection of chocolate desserts is served alongside for a sweet Easter finish. For adults who need a little liquid refreshment, a two-hour free flow of Prosecco, Mimosa and house-pour spirits are available at $48++ per person.
