One of the most mesmerising dining I have ever done in my life happens to be at The Le Cirque Signature, Mumbai. The staff especially Mr. Thakur who served me are pretty serious and motivated about giving the diner a very fulfilling fine dining experience. I with my friend Arvin Dias were the restaurant’s first guests after it’s reopening last year and the whole team made us feel very special. Having great city views at corner tables, excellent & knowledgeable staff, distinguished interior and an exceptional wine cellar, everything compliments and adds to the wonderful experience. The food, oh boy is out of this world, beautifully presented and full of delicate flavours. This is supposed to be a franco-italian restaurant and the food justifies the description. The fried calamari I had and the primavera pasta were 2 gem of a dishes, beautifully cooked and well seasoned. One of the most memorable moment was indulging in the most delicious creme brûlée I ever had which after finishing also reveal’s it’s recipe, haha! The menu is designed well having some of the Chef Matteo Fontana’s signatures which I would recommend everyone to try. Absolutely enjoyed the complimentary breads from the restaurant throughout the meal! The chefs inside are definitely an experts of their craft which is clearly evident from the consistent high quality cooking. Le Cirque’s original outpost in NYC was owned by the famed Maccioni family where the rich and famous used to dine. The only problem was they didn’t move forward in time and naturally the decline of an era was inevitable. Credits to the Nair’s of the Leela group who joined hands with Maccioni’s and revamped the Le Cirque opening it’s first Indian outpost in Delhi. From then, everything has gone upwards. The Las Vegas outpost has/had a Michelin star too. The Mumbai one is no less as well.The restaurant is definitely pricey but I think at the end everything comes together because you leave with a big smile on your face :)
