Omakase To Chef's Table: Best Curated Dining Experiences To Check Out In Pune
Aragma
Named after the Greek word that means small joys of life, Aragma is one of the few places in the city that offers the concept of a chef's table. You'll be seated near the kitchen to witness the preparation and presentation of each course and interact with the talented chefs responsible for the culinary creations. The curated tasting menus, crafted by highly skilled and innovative chefs, focus on seasonal and locally sourced ingredients. Whether you're vegetarian, vegan, or meat eater, they'll customise the menu to suit your palate.
Timings: 11 AM to 10 PM
Price: INR 2,750+ per person
Ukiyo
Ukiyo, which means to live in the moment, is a swanky eatery inside the Ritz Carlton Hotel that blends classic Japanese cuisine with a modern twist. It is the only restaurant in town where you can have a traditional omakase experience, where the chef selects, serves, and surprises you with seasonal specialities. You get to have inspiring discussions with the master chefs as they take you on a culinary journey to Japan. It's a great way to dive into Japanese culture and cuisine as well which we think is pretty cool. However, the prices are a little high, but the experience is worth it!
