Hitchens' Christmas: Mumbai's coolest new theme resto-bar launches its curated Christmas Tasting Menus

As Mumbai gears up for the twinkling lights and cool December breeze, Hitchens, the intellectually-inspired resto-bar in Khar West, has crafted a celebration of the season with its expertly curated Christmas tasting menus. Each of the three menus offers a thoughtfully curated three-course experience paired with one of Hitchens’ signature cocktails that have already garnered quite a fan base.

The seasonal offerings include standout dishes. The Christmas Cake with torched meringue and rum anglaise appears as the dessert crown jewel across menus.

For those seeking warmth this winter, the Smoked Pumpkin Veloute with dual preparations of parsnip offers a sophisticated start, while the Seared Indian Salmon with Burghul Risotto presents a localized twist on festive seafood.

"Christmas is about gathering and creating memories over exceptional food and drink," says Aparna Sud, Founder, Hitchens Cocktails & Ideas. "Our space, with its library-inspired corners and cozy nooks, transforms into a winter wonderland while maintaining its characteristic thoughtful ambiance. From our Cheese Bombolini with truffle and Parmesan snow to our signature cocktails like the Marxist Mule and The Revolutionist, each element tells a story."

The vegetarian selection doesn't fall short on creativity, featuring a hearty lasagne layered with seasonal greens, fungi, and cacio pepe. The restaurant's intellectual spirit extends beyond its namesake to its cocktail program, with seasonal specials such as the Marxist Mule, The Revolutionist, and Foxhole Atheist complementing each carefully crafted menu. These libations add a playful philosophical twist to the festive experience.

With the city's social calendar in full swing, Hitchens offers a refreshing alternative to traditional Christmas dining – a space where intellectual curiosity meets culinary excellence, and where every dish and drink sparks conversation.
