A glimpse of the menu at Late Checkout
Steered by Chef Amit Dhoundiyal, the cocktail bar features dishes inspired by the founder’s travels across the globe and the Chef’s stellar background in Japanese cuisine. From capperino tarts– stuffed with creamy goat cheese mousse and topped with a veil of tomatoes- that sprung to life upon tasting its equivalent in Spain to kabocha chilli Prawns that lay on a bed of pumpkin chilli garlic sauce, the menu ties together a well thought out affair.
Now coming to drinks, curated by Prithvi Agarwal, the bar brings stunning new infusions to traditional drinks. You can relish a unique unami depth in drinks as the mixologist uses macerated nori shrubs for subtle enhancements. A quick look at the menu and you shall find gin infused with fresh lemongrass or milk-clarified whisky that marries the sweetness of mango and peach with the tang of kaffir lime and the umami of matcha.
