JASPAS

In the heart of Staunton Street, Jaspas, run by a couple of Aussies, is identifiable by its coloured lettering and open front. The restaurant is a SoHo staple, serving up a pleasant brunch with a bright and airy ambiance. The space is larger than one would think at first glance and the tables facing Staunton street are great for people watching.

The cuisine is characterized as modern fusion, so a diverse selection of brunch options, from pizza and fajitas to sandwiches and standby breakfast options- muesli, omlettes, french toast, is on hand. Scenic tables are available at the front, while sizeable booths for larger parties take up the back. These booths are ideal for special occasion brunch gatherings.

The Jaspas group also runs Cru Wine & Grill, just up the road. Both are popular on weekends and are a great solution if you and your friends cannot decide on where to go. The two are as akin as siblings - they similarly serve fusion fare, are comfortable, sit on the same street and have large, open exteriors. However Cru is slightly more modern in design while Jaspas is easy and laid-back - the perfect spot for a no-brainer brunch.
