FRINGE CLUB ROOF GARDEN AND CAFE

The Fringe Club is one of the most unique places in Hong Kong. The long-standing historical building houses a respected restaurant, M at the Fringe, two art galleries, weekly events, a performance space and cultural classes ranging from modern dance to pottery workshops. But the best part about the Fringe Club is its rooftop - a green patio setting looking up to the Central skyscrapers and down to Wyndham Street.

The Roof Garden is an extension of the Fringe Club's Fotogalerie, which has rotating photography exhibits by local artists, who often fit under the "aspiring" category. During the week, the Roof Garden offers a set vegetarian buffet. And on the weekend, the space is a brunch-lovers dream come true - outdoor setting, great location and shaded dining under tent-like canopies. A bit of greenery makes the space a garden, but the Fringe Club has also put down astro-turf to resemble grass for added emphasis.

The cuisine is reasonably prices and supplied by SoHo SoHo of HK Dining, the crew behind gastropub The Phoenix, located above Caine Road on the escalators. It is a chill-out place, where you will probably run into someone you know, one of those old acquaintances who seemed to have been lost from your speed dial. If you've had an easy weekend, make it to the Rooftop Garden before 11am for the early bird special, priced at $99.

To take in a little culture with your brunch, head to this urban oasis. Brunch is served until 4pm every Saturday, Sunday and public holiday.
