In a world of competition, it is continuous growth, development, and innovation that are key to guarantee a place in the game. Well… InterContinental Regency Bahrain just made it to the front row with their new Friday Brunchism concept. FACT’s Layal El Mahmoud brings you all the details…

As you walk your first steps into the grand reception, you’re hit by a blow of energy! The band has occupied the entrance and the music is everywhere. A bar shares the space with open arms and I am tempted to forget about eating and adopt one of those high chairs for the day. Mounting the prestigious staircase, your excitement is building along every step and the changes are obvious. The Friday brunch has gotten bigger, richer, and a whole a lot more fun.

All of the hotel’s restaurants have joined forces to bring you a marvellous creation of flavours representing different world cuisines, at the hands of talented and enthusiastic chefs. Live food stations and speciality corners invaded the corridors offering a wide collection of tasty dishes from every country there is.

We got seated at Selections with the company of main courses such as Mahshi, Jordanian Mansaf, and Moroccan Tajine, alongside cold seafood appetisers and a pleasant variety of salads with two different kinds of soup. We walk to Medzo to discover a great selection of Italian salads with an inviting display of meat, poultry, and seafood that can be perfectly barbecued to your taste upon request, plus an extensive buffet of potatoes to match your mood for the day; from buttery mash and fried wedges to healthy baked and creamy gratin. Pasta can also be requested at Medzo however you may crave it and with the house-made fresh pasta, Italian perfection is guaranteed. Take a few steps out to the corridors and the magic of live cooking starts; Asian Dim Sum and Miso Soup followed by Sushi and Sashimi, next is a Mexican feast of Ceviche and Tortilla, Tacos and Burritos… yay yay yay!

Next comes the Indian corner with rich Butter Chicken, succulent Chicken Tandoori, Shrimp Biryani, Daal, and Chapatti. We also take a peek inside Legendz only to marvel at the succulent prime cuts of steak and the abundance of cheese on display. Salmon lovers can take a moment right here to mesmerise among the sight of premium Salmon cuts being smoked on the spot!

Something else catches the eye… colourful donuts and cookies hung in an attractive decorative way to announce the treasury room of all things sweet and delicious. A seductive crêpe station and ice cream share the sweet atmosphere with a bouquet of cakes and ready-made deserts… what a treat!

The atmosphere is energetic and spirited, and although the place is quite busy, noise is in disguise as guests are spread amongst all the different restaurants like ornaments beautifully decorating a huge Christmas tree.

I very much enjoyed the four-piece band, DD&theGroove, and their choice of songs, as much as I was entertained with the surprise dance performed by a dynamic team of youngsters. The DJ was equally talented and the mood was high.

I tried my best to have a taste of everything on offer but I do not believe anyone can. The richness of this brand new brunch calls for a second visit, or a third… Why not? Great atmosphere and amazing food, all you need is the lovely company of your family and best friends.

In fact, I can say with great conviction that the InterContinental Regency’s Friday Brunchism is now one of the top brunches to go to on the island. Go see for yourself, pick up the phone and book your table now, it is SO worth it! ✤
