A Perfect Sunday Brunch for a Double Birthday Celebration.
We recently celebrated our two daughters’ birthdays with a Sunday buffet brunch at Link Hall Waters Edge, and it was absolutely a memorable experience for all
The brunch featured a fantastic variety of cuisines including sri lankan Chinese Indian and even sushi catering to every palate. The spread was a hit with both the adults and the kids.

I visited the Waters Edge dinner buffet yesterday and it was a great experience!
I tried almost everything on the buffet and every dish tasted really good. They even had fresh sushi, which was one of my favorites of the night.
The mocktails were unlimited and really refreshing — I enjoyed the Voda Blue Lagoon and the Rumbuck cocktail a lot.

The High Tea Buffet at Waters Edge is an absolute delight!
The quality of the food is exceptional—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. There is an impressive variety of both sweet and savory dishes, with the iced coffee being my favorite. While it’s a bit on the sweeter side, I still love it!
The selection ranges from sandwiches and pastries to mouth-watering desserts and premium teas.
