Meal for two:

At entrees touching a stratospheric Rs 2,000 a pop, you’d expect Ramola Bachchan to sit on your lap and spoon caramelised duck into your mouth. Luckily for us, the very blonde and very glam Ms Bachchan does almost that at her recently opened rooftop boite, Manre.

A private elevator beamed us up directly into the restaurant—very James Bond. It is a voluptuous, glamorous space, in a let-them-eat-cake kind of way. The menu jetsets across the globe and reads like an erotic thriller. Canadian scallops? Thai souffle? Lacquered Shanghai duck? Yes! Yes! Yes! The impeccably fresh roasted sea bass is perfection itself, reminding you not only of the ocean but also of luxury cruise liners that sail through it. Even the bread basket is a marvel, holding a seductively buttery brioche with a dense crumb. Desserts are possibly the best you might eat in Delhi—a seriously decadent Valrhona chocolate mousse, a wicked plum tart, and an evil creme brulee with a shatteringly delicious crust.

This is much more than a room to have a quiet meal in. It is a place to sip champagne from saucers, swing from chandeliers and dance in a sequined layered dress atop the lacquered white grand piano. The unisex bathroom, all shiny disco walls and mirrors, is a bulimic’s dream. Whether it is love, romance, flirtation, mischief, beginning a new affair or dramatically ending an old one, Manre is the place to do it.
