Opening Hours: 6.30am to 10pm daily



Visited on 4 Nov 2017 (Sat). I love having brunch at hotels and here comes the latest addition "Publico Deli" under Intercontinental Hotel Group at Robertson Quay. Not to worry, the prices here are comparable to family restaurants. Publico Deli is a casual Italian dining place that offers All Day Breakfast and specialty coffee by Liberty!




You can opt to dine indoor or alfresco! But no pets allowed in alfresco. :(






 Beverage Menu


Flat White ($5++)
The coffee here was up to my standard! Thick and aromatic!


Food Menu


Loch Fyne Salmon Benedict ($21++)
Generous portions of loch fyne smoked salmon and eggs benedict on warm baked ciabatta, served with spinach. You can taste the freshness of the eggs and the sauce here is unlike the usual hollandaise sauce, theirs is sriracha hollandaise which is more to a spicy punch. (Something different) Loch Fyne salmon is renowned for its quality and depth of flavour! You can taste the quality in this dish.



Mediterrean Scramble ($19++)
This dish is perfect for weight watchers. Free range scrambled egg white served on a bed of lightly sauteed vegetables and large slice of sourdough bread. Large slices of grilled chicken breasts marinated in yogurt and spices. The breast meat tends to be a little dry but that is to be expected. The generous portion will fill you up even if you're a big eater.



Irresistible Tiramisu ($12++)

The tiramisu here was the best that I had among so many places! Homemade goodness Italian dessert with espresso soaked ladyfingers, bitter chocolate, mascarpone cheese and flavoured with generous cocoa powder. The overall texture was melted in the mouth! Must order!!!


Overall Impression: The service here was average as it took a long time for the staff to clear our plates and not much smile from the staff. Probably the place was quite crowded that morning. Food quality was quite good.  Note: The portion of the food and dessert here was quite big so do not over order.  The coffee here was great too. Publico Deli is definitely a new nice brunch place! 

Note: Publico Deli is usually very noisy and crowded from morning till around 11am as their hotel guests will be having breakfast buffet till around that time.  If you'd like to have a more peaceful ambience, please try to come after 11am. :)

Main Course
Italian Selection: Tuna Steak
  
You have to try their tuna steak. They were grilled to perfection! Charred exterior taste with melt in the mouth tuna meat inside! Wow drool~!~!~~



Ligurian Fillet of Sea Bass with
Artichokes, Potato, Taggiasca Olives
The sea bass was tender and in big portion, complemented very well with appetising flavourful broth!



Aromatic Cappucino from Lavazza Coffee!



Overall Impression: One-Ninety has huge selection of quality appetizers and decent dessert selection. I think with just the buffet spread of appetizers and desserts alone, they're enough to fill up your stomach even without taking their main course. I'm impressed with their appetizers as well as their main course. Desserts still need some improvements. Not forgetting they served great coffee here from Lavazza!

The service here was very good. The whole experience at One-Ninety, regardless of weekdays or weekends were equally great. With the Amex card promotion, I'll definitely come back again and again! :)
