This French F&B Outlet From Cannes Film Festival Is Now In Delhi

Cannes Film Festival, a place where celebrity and fashion intersect, is a thriving niche for the culinary arts. Tucked away amid the red carpet fanfare is Cosy Box - the film festival’s official food partner founded by Jean Bernard Fernandez-Vesini in 2008, and meant as a showcase for luxury brands like Degrisogono, Arman De Brignac, Gucci, and more for the discerning aesthete.

Continuing in a tradition of French feasting, seasoned restaurateurs of Delhi, Akshay Anand and Aashish Begwani have joined hands with Jean Bernard and are all set to introduce Cosy Box's first-ever international chapter in One Golden Mile.

In India, Cosy Box will be driven by Anand and Begwani, the people behind Toy Room by Pacha & Ophelia at Ashoka hotel.

"We are sure that Cosy Box will be among the popular destinations in India," says Akshay Anand Co-founder Cosy Box. “Our vision is to redefine the food and nightlife space of India by bringing the Cannes brand into India. Indians today are much exposed and they travel all around the world for the finest of experiences. Our endeavor is to bring the same, upscale experiences in terms of food innovations, indulgent cocktails and concepts to India. Cosy Box will be the game changer."

Spread out over 7,500 square feet, a jade-tiled patio replete with sun umbrellas wraps around the main dining area. The space is festooned with verdant greens and allows for ease of movement. Inside, glossy marble and rose archways set the tone for little pockets of intrigue. Lights echoes off chrome accents, while plush seating allow guests to really tuck into an evening (or afternoon) of revelry. A slick, modern bar is roomy enough to wait while they prep your table. The drinks menu has old favorites like the Paloma Negra and the special Cosy trademark - a candy bar with candy-flavored shots. 

You’ll find bite-sized servings of seafood and seasonal vegetables grilled live - on Japanese open-fire robata grills. The smokiness of charred food is layered with tequila and mezcal (barrel-aged agave tincture) straight from Mexico, in the country’s largest collection of the liquor of the moment. 

The Cosy Pavilion is a place for conversations that are leisurely. A cosy setting to house intimate chats and pop-ups on art, culture and everything in between, The Pavilion aims to nourish the potency of Big Ideas™. A white-glove experience with food to match, this exclusive section within Cosy Box is meant for business meetings, fashion + art travelling shops, creative talks, and anything else in need of an intimate space for a discerning audience.

The terrace is the largest space on the premises that can house comfortably a party of two hundred. The sunsets here are a work of art: Painterly hues of burnt sienna and blue appear daily. Have a sundowner, while bringing the day to a lull over tall pours of mezcal and Instagrammable desserts.

The Cosy Expansion - Cosy Box - the brand aims to take the Cosy Box Party & Food culture to other Metros as well. With its first outlet at the South Delhi’s most posh and exclusive area, Cosy Box already aims for their other address in Mumbai and other metros.
