Madeleine de Proust
At Madeleine de Proust, the language is one of nostalgia rendered in the present tense. Conceived as a botanical garden-inspired tea lounge, the venue draws its philosophy from Indo-French culinary tradition, where every element is designed to evoke memory as much as pleasure. From elegant breakfasts and leisurely lunches to its signature High Tea, comforting dinners and indulgent desserts served until midnight, Madeleine de Proust offers an all-day dining experience that evolves with every hour. Set amid cherry blossom trees and serene surroundings, each visit is an invitation to savour thoughtfully crafted dishes in a space where art, culture and community are foundational to the experience, positioning Madeleine de Proust as Mumbai's most refined address from morning through midnight.

The Hedonist
The Hedonist tells a different story; one of the worldly traveller, returning with treasures and tales from distant lands. Its Jazz Nights, in partnership with The Bombay Jazz Club, bring this narrative to life through the union of live music and a cocktail programme inspired by the traveller's journal. Each drink captures a chapter of his journey, with flavours and ingredients drawn from the vibrant spice markets, hidden courtyards and rich cultural tapestry of Marrakech, inviting guests to savour the spirit of discovery in every sip. Rare liquors and premium Cuban cigars complete an atmosphere of vintage and modern elegance in equal measure, a space where each drink, much like each note played, forms part of a larger story of discovery.

Oryn
Oryn, meanwhile, channels the sultry glamour of 1920s Shanghai through its Dim Sum Brunch, a tribute to the centuries-old tradition of Yum Cha. Originating in the tea houses of Canton, the ritual finds its contemporary expression here through an expansive spread of 51 varieties of dim sum, spanning both vegetarian and non-vegetarian creations, complemented by a curated selection of Chinese teas including oolong, pu-erh, chrysanthemum, jasmine and green, each chosen to balance and elevate the dishes they accompany. The experience unfolds across immersive live stations, from Soup & Wonton and Duck & Pork Carving to an interactive Dim Sum station where guests can learn the craft alongside the restaurant's in-house chefs. A lavish dessert spread, featuring specialties such as Sweet Baos, completes the journey. The theatre of the experience is deliberate: bamboo baskets open tableside, tea is poured with quiet ceremony, and every course invites guests to savour not just a meal, but a shared celebration of Chinese culinary tradition.
