<p>Sundays are for relaxing, enjoying good food, and making memories. It’s the perfect day to step away from work, put your phone down, and focus on what truly matters—whether that means quality time with friends and family or a much-needed solo retreat. </p><p>There’s something about Sundays that invites leisure: long meals, good company and the pleasure of being present in the moment. Imagine a sunny afternoon, a table full of delicious dishes, a glass of champagne in hand, and the smooth, effortless sounds of bossa nova filling the air. <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0054698/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>Breakfast at Tiffany’s</em></a> may be the fantasy, but here in Manila, we now have our own indulgent alternative. </p><p>Enter<a href="https://www.instagram.com/umanota.manila/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> <strong>Uma Nota Manila’s</strong></a><strong> Champagne &amp; Bossa Nova</strong>, a monthly Sunday brunch that celebrates the art of dining and the joy of great company. </p><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1743247744847Workbench Thumbnail.jpg" style="width:300px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><strong>A brunch worth anticipating  </strong></div><p>Champagne &amp; Bossa Nova is an experience.

Every dish is crafted with high-quality, fresh ingredients, bringing both cultures to life on the plate.</p><p>The meal begins with the <strong>Couve Miso Delight</strong>, a rich, velvety cauliflower miso dip accompanied by Moqueca crackers and a sprinkle of Brazilian furikake for added crunch. Seafood lovers will revel in the<strong> Copacabana Kai Platter</strong>, an elegant spread of nigiri, sashimi, sushi rolls, oysters, and ceviche—a seamless marriage of Japanese refinement and Brazilian flair. Meanwhile, the <strong>Tempura Tropical</strong> offers a crisp, golden mix of seasonal vegetables, prawns, and tempura, complemented by Ponzu Kosho sauces for a zesty finish.</p><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1743247887211UmaNota - Processed-0418.jpg" style="width:300px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><p>For the main course, there are selections that cater to every palate. The <strong>Tori Na Brasa</strong> presents grilled spring chicken with cassava and a mixed green salad, while the Peixe Baiano highlights a seasonal fish fillet bathed in fragrant moqueca sauce.

Those looking to indulge further can upgrade to the Arroz de Camarão, a decadent prawn dish with black garlic aioli and bell peppers (PHP 600), or the <strong>Churrascaria de Carne</strong>, a Wagyu Picanha MB5 served with grilled cinnamon pineapple (PHP 1,800).</p><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/17432480011311.jpg" style="width:300px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><p>No brunch is complete without dessert, and Uma Nota delivers with its <strong>Chef’s Dessert Platter</strong>, featuring passion fruit cheesecake, yuzu mousse lollipops, coconut brigadeiro, and chocolate mochi. And of course, no meal at Uma Nota is complete without a side of their signature garlic rice.</p><div><strong>The right pour</strong></div><p>What’s brunch without the perfect drink? Uma Nota offers free-flowing champagne (PHP 3,500), or the cocktail selection (PHP 1,800) provides a more adventurous route. Champagne brings lightness and celebration to the table, while cocktails offer tropical refreshment in every sip. Whatever your preference, the right pairing ensures that your brunch is nothing short of extraordinary.</p><div><strong>The soul of bossa nova</strong></div><p>A meal is an experience, and music is its perfect companion. At Uma Nota, the live bossa nova performances are a seamless blend of samba and jazz that’s smooth and transportive. The soft plucking of guitar strings, light percussion, and warm vocals evoke the breezy charm of a beachside escape—exactly the mood you want for a slow, indulgent Sunday.</p><p>The result? A sensory experience where everything—the flavors, the music, the drinks—falls perfectly into place.</p><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-0" src="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DHmyz_WzEwt/embed/captioned/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=1080&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A0%2C%22os%22%3A1246641%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="994" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-0" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><strong>More to come</strong> </div><p>Uma Nota Manila is constantly evolving, ensuring there’s always something new to look forward to.
