Indian Hotels Company (IHCL) today announced the launch of its first flagship Soulinaire restaurant in Alibaug, Mumbai. Soulinaire, IHCL’s signature lifestyle catering brand, now finds a permanent home on the Alibaug boardwalk, bringing a vibrant new culinary destination overlooking the Arabian Sea.

Somnath Mukherjee, Executive Vice President, West and Head of Food and Beverage, IHCL, said, “Soulinaire represents IHCL’s commitment to delivering elevated and immersive gastronomic experiences. From its inception as a bespoke catering service, it has grown into a brand synonymous with innovation, craftsmanship and warmth. The first flagship restaurant in Alibaug embodies the brand’s philosophy of thoughtful hospitality and culinary artistry.”

A Space That Blends Nature, Design, and Experience

Set against the backdrop of swaying palms and coastal charm, Soulinaire Alibaug is a 200-seater, two-storey restaurant that reimagines seaside dining. A seamless blend of alfresco elegance and indoor comfort, the space is defined by floor-to-ceiling windows that frame uninterrupted views of the sea.

As guests step into Soulinaire, a striking circular bar welcomes them, while an indoor pool adds a touch of tropical indulgence. The second floor houses a private banquet space, ideal for intimate gatherings and grand celebrations. The live kitchen, wraparound balcony, and interiors crafted from bamboo and sun-washed brick set the tone for a relaxed coastal escape and immersive culinary theatre.

A Menu that Marries Tradition and Innovation

Soulinaire Alibaug offers comfort food with a twist — from Akuri reminiscent of old Bombay to Croissants filled with masala bhaji. Guests can enjoy highlights like Paneer Tikka Tacos, Murgh Angara Bites, Tandoori Pomfret, and regional favourites such as Misal Pav and Gaoran Kombdi Rassa.

Asian and European inspirations like Shaoxing Drunken Fish and Truffle Alfredo Pasta add global flair, while desserts including the Molten Choco-Walnut Symphony and Golden Halo Cone create a perfect sweet finale.
