The Third Place Launches in Pune with Coffee, Pizza & Community Spirit

Published on September 15, 2025

Pune has welcomed a new hotspot with the launch of The Third Place, a space that goes beyond being just a wine bar or café. Positioned as Pune’s first dedicated wine bar, it introduces a community-focused approach to unwinding, where soulful food, craft wines, and coffee come together with fashion, décor, and art.

What sets The Third Place apart is its pioneering status as India’s first full-fledged concept store, a destination where everything from food and wine to design and lifestyle finds a home under one roof. The idea draws inspiration from the Western model of “community spaces,” now reimagined for Indian audiences.

The brainchild of Kunal Mhaske, Managing Director of Grandeur Hotels Pvt. Ltd. and founder of The Third Place, the venue is designed to be more than just another café or bar. With over 14 years of experience in hospitality, Mhaske envisions the property as a platform to bring people together, share experiences, and build meaningful connections.

Our aim with The Third Place is not just to serve great food and wine, but to create a space where people can meet, exchange ideas, and form a community,” Mhaske shared.

With pizza, coffee, wine, art, and lifestyle all in one, The Third Place is set to redefine how Pune experiences dining and leisure — offering both locals and visitors a refreshing new way to connect

OZEN LIFE MAADHOO has raised the bar for luxury dining in the Maldives with the launch of its new barefoot bistro at Hudhu Bay. The open-air concept blends fine dining with a relaxed, toes-in-the-sand setting, inviting guests on a global culinary journey inspired by Sri Lankan mud crab.

Anupam Banjeree, Vice President of Food & Beverage, explained, “Located in a prime beach setting, we wanted everything about HUDHU BAY to reflect sustainability, from the design to the dishes. The idea was to bring fine dining to the beach, where guests could enjoy exquisite meals barefoot, surrounded by nature.”image

The dining experience begins with tropical cocktails crafted by in-house mixologists and crab-inspired amuse-bouche, before guests are seated to explore an extensive mud crab menu. Dishes spotlight flavours from around the world, from À la Provençale Crab with its herb-infused French flair, to Hong Kong Butter Garlic Crab showcasing wok-hei Cantonese cooking.

Other highlights include the iconic Singaporean Chilli Crab, balancing sweet, spicy, and savoury notes, and the fiery Jaffna Spiced Crab, a tribute to Sri Lanka’s Tamil culinary traditions. Guests can also savour Sri Lankan Scampi, rooted in time-honoured coastal recipes.

After dinner, the barefoot journey continues under the stars, with coffee and liqueurs served on the beach in a relaxed après-feast ritual.

OZEN LIFE MAADHOO has placed sustainability at the heart of the concept. From sourcing traceable seafood to eco-friendly décor choices, every detail reflects a commitment to marine conservation and responsible gastronomy.

This philosophy aligns with THE OZEN COLLECTION’s broader approach to redefining luxury dining across its properties from underwater fine dining at M6m to Maldivian heritage cuisine at LONU and authentic Asian flavours at TRADITION PEKING.

Guests can enhance their experience with the resort’s signature INDULGENCE™ Plan, which includes unlimited access to premium beverages, curated wines, and crafted cocktails. With its innovative concept, international flavours, and focus on sustainability, the barefoot bistro at Hudhu Bay is set to become one of the Maldives’ most memorable dining experiences — adding yet another jewel to OZEN LIFE MAADHOO’s world-class culinary portfolio.
