Restaurant Of The Month: DBRASSERIE!

Opened in February this year, right opposite the bus station in DB Plaza, with stunning sea views, DBrasserie has already established itself as a go-to neighbourhood meeting point. It’s somewhere to relax with friends either indoors or on the rooftop terrace, while eating, drinking and being entertained. “We’ve prioritised community engagement,” opens co-owner Thorsten Allenstein. “DBrasserie is a remarkable establishment that encompasses multiple facets of dining, entertainment and events. In addition to our culinary and libation offerings, we host a variety of events that cater to the diverse interests of our patrons. We have regular comedy nights, and there are live music performances every Friday and Saturday.” A fully equipped live music venue, DBrasserie is by far the best place in DB for bands to showcase their talents, and it’s also the ultimate destination to catch live sports screenings. “We subscribe to all the major international sporting events, and we are showcasing the Euros in June, providing a vibrant setting for fans to come together and cheer for their favourite teams,” says Thorsten. ALL-DAY DINING Open by 6.30am Monday to Friday, and by 7.30am on the weekend, DBrasserie closes at 10pm Sunday to Thursday, and around 1am on Friday and Saturday. You can sample the eclectic Asian Fusion menu round the clock, drop in for a quick (Uncle Russ) coffee during the day, or head there for latenight drinks on your way home from work. The menu is extensive, neatly covering breakfasts, breads, snacks and salads, mains and graffiti bowls, burgers and grills, and desserts. “We specialise in American BBQ food with an Asian twist, plus a wide selection of Asian vegetarian and vegan dishes,” Thorsten says. “Our menu has been carefully curated by Meeta Nanda and Joe Campbell, two exceptionally talented chefs, who are well-known in our community. They draw on flavours from all around Asia and bring out the best of the cultures combined. “With our concept centred around sharing a meal with friends, our menu is designed to allow you to order exactly what you need and avoid wastage. Dine with us and you get affordable food your whole group will enjoy!” There are also plenty of options when it comes to parties and events. Whether you want to celebrate a special occasion in the restaurant with a group of friends, hire out the space for a larger event or arrange catering for a party at your home or office, DBrasserie’s friendly and professional staff have you covered. NEIGHBOURHOOD HANGOUT Of course, you’re also welcome to drop by just for a drink or two. Whether you’re looking to kickback on the balcony while taking in the breathtaking views, or hang out indoors and watch the live sports, there’s a tempting selection of wines and spirits on offer, plus an extensive range of craft beer. Know too that there’s a “2 for 1 Happy Hour,” Monday to Saturday from 4pm to 7pm. “As part of our commitment to excellence, we are thrilled to feature Hong Kong-brewed Young Master Craft beer on tap,” says Thorsten. “We have a wide range of styles and flavours, so beer enthusiasts are sure to find their perfect pint.” DBrasserie is also known for its exclusively brewed wheat beer, Wunderweizen. Bavarian-inspired with a fruity twist and a refreshing taste, it’s carefully crafted to suit the Hong Kong climate. This month, during the Euros, a German bitter Pilsner is being added to the roster. “We believe that our commitment to showcasing exceptional craft beer, along with our engaging events enhances the overall experience for our guests,” Thorsten concludes. “These unique offerings, coupled with our top-quality dining options, live music, sports screenings and breathtaking views, make DBrasserie a standout establishment worthy of recognition.”
