Wine Connection has introduced its first ever Champagne Brunch at its Robertson Walk outlet.

There is also an a la carte menu, so you can fill your stomach with brunch classics too, such as egg white huevos rancheros ($16, topped with fresh Australian avocados, chilli beef and a pico de gallo dressing on an egg white omelette).

And grilled cheese sandwich with tomato soup ($16) melted with vintage cheddar and mozzarella, served with a homemade tomato soup.

There is also the croque monsieur ($17) with Paris ham, morbier cheese and truffle bechamel.
