Be ready to taste Europe in a new way – its sunlit coasts, alpine villages, and countryside kitchens reimagined for today. Onrique now brings this spirit to the table with a menu that carries the essence of tradition yet speaks in a fresh, contemporary voice.
The menu travels across Europe; from the lavender fields of Provence and the alpine pastures of Ticino to the sunlit shores of Greece and Italy. The Head Chef builds on traditions where open-fire cooking, artisanal cheese-making, cellar-aged preserves, and communal bread rituals form the soul of everyday meals. Guided by the philosophy of heritage over haute, stories over trends, the menu revives ancestral techniques with a contemporary touch.
Highlights include the Ligurian Olive Focaccia layered with sun-dried tomatoes and rosemary, the stone-baked Pinsa Romana with its perfect char, and the delicious Seafood Nelusko crowned with a pistachio crust and silken mornay sauce. The Josper grill lends depth to French classics like Coq au Vin, while Alpine-style Spätzle arrives in a rich cheese sauce with peas and crisp onions. Sweet finales feature the chocolate-laden Swiss Nocturne and a lemon-zested Crème Fraîche Panna Cotta with lavender and almond crunch.
The craft behind the menu extends into methods like charcoal-oven roasting for depth and smokiness, preservation and pickling inspired by Alpine and Mediterranean pantries, and heritage grain pasta-making reminiscent of Roman artisanship. Layers of flavor emerge through unexpected pairings, lavender with pistachio, orange blossom with hazelnut, while slow braises and fire cooking bring authentic ingredients into focus with warmth.
Onrique’s inclusive philosophy responds naturally to Mumbai’s changing tastes with vegetarian favourites; nearly 40% of the menu caters to plant-based diners or adapts easily to vegan preferences. Dishes like Charred Aubergine with salsa verde, Grilled Peach Panzanella with burrata and heirloom tomatoes, and Swiss Potato Rösti with mushroom ragout prove that thoughtful dining can be both dietary-conscious and flavourful. Gluten-free elements weave through soups, fire-grilled mains, and desserts, while seasonal specials will evolve with the harvest calendar to keep the menu ever fresh.
“We’ve looked to the kitchens of Europe where cooking was slow, soulful, and rooted in memory,” shares The Head Chef. “From Provence’s sunlit slopes to Ticino’s mountain farms and the Aegean’s salt-tinged air, our menu is inspired by traditions where food carries stories across generations rather than leaning on fleeting theatrics.”
As thoughtful as the menu they accompany, the cocktails bring Europe’s pantry into the glass – herbaceous, citrusy, and bright, each one designed to pair naturally with the food rather than compete with it.
Small rituals slip into the evening with ease, shaping dinner into an experience worth remembering. Every so often, a communal toast rises, a pause shared over a spirited cheer, a mindful bite, and a ringing “Santé!”, while rooftop gatherings sparkle with glasses raised for birthdays and anniversaries. Simple traditions, rooted in European dining culture, bring people together and mark the night with warmth and meaning. The rhythm they create stays with you long after the last dish leaves the table.
Adding a unique layer to the evening, Onrique’s Memory Makers bring an extra warmth to the table, setting a narrative around the experience and the small rituals that shape the meal. This keeps the evening flowing with just the right mix of pace and personality, making sure the service feels personal. The presence turns service into storytelling, giving the experience a sense of occasion without ever feeling staged.
