The Ritz-Carlton's Blu Beach Club at Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Landaa Giraavaru is preparing for an unforgettable culinary collaboration this November. The resort is set to host two-Michelin-starred Chef Nino Di Costanzo, whose visionary talent from his acclaimed restaurant, Danì Maison in Ischia, will bring a taste of Italy to the Maldives. Known for blending Mediterranean flavors with local ingredients, Chef Nino's residency is a celebration of culinary artistry and cross-cultural exchange.
Starting from November 11, 2024, Chef Nino will transform the dining experience at Blu Beach Club for an entire week. Guests will have the unique opportunity to savor his masterful creations, which fuse the island traditions of both Italy and the Maldives. His approach combines the freshest ingredients from Landaa’s herb and vegetable gardens with the rich flavors of the Mediterranean, creating a truly sensory dining experience. Chef Nino’s famous dishes, such as the 35-shape Pasta and Potatoes, Sea Bass with vegetables and herb sauce, and Breaded Veal Cutlet, will be on the menu for guests to enjoy.
Chef Nino's philosophy revolves around creating a connection with his guests before the first bite is taken. His process of crafting a dish begins months in advance, with careful attention to every detail, including the selection of the perfect plate. His passion for merging nature and creativity aligns perfectly with the ethos of Landaa Giraavaru, a resort that emphasizes sustainability and a deep respect for the natural environment.
As part of the collaboration, Chef Nino will work closely with Blu Beach Club’s culinary team, sharing his skills and insights. Four members of the team have already spent time training at Danì Maison, learning from one of the best in the business. This partnership not only elevates the guest experience but also provides invaluable career development for the resort's chefs.
Guests will be able to experience Chef Nino's gastronomy during two week-long residencies, from November 11 to 17, 2024, and again from February 13 to 19, 2025. After these residencies, Blu Beach Club’s chefs will continue serving a specially curated menu by Chef Nino to two tables of four each evening, offering an intimate and exclusive dining experience.
According to Armando Kraenzlin, Regional Vice President and General Manager of Landaa Giraavaru, "Collaborating with Chef Nino will not only offer an inspirational culinary experience to our guests but also expose our culinary team to unique insights, advancing their skills in extraordinary ways."
For those interested in experiencing Chef Nino’s culinary magic firsthand, reservations can be made through the resort’s website or by contacting Four Seasons Resort Maldives’ Central Reservations Department.

Maize and Malt, one of Bengaluru’s most loved date destinations, is setting the mood for romance this Valentine’s Day with a thoughtfully curated Valentine’s menu that celebrates love through flavour, comfort, and togetherness. Available from 7th Feb to 14th Feb, 2026, the special menu is designed for couples looking to enjoy unhurried conversations and indulgent dining.
The experience begins with a selection of playful yet comforting appetisers. Dishes like Love in Every Fold, featuring delicate potstickers with the perfect balance of crisp and soft textures, set the tone for the evening. Rosy Paneer Affair brings together smoky tandoori paneer, toasted sourdough, and herbed cream cheese, while Honey-Kissed Harissa Prawn offers a bold combination of heat, sweetness, and smoky depth for those who enjoy stronger flavours.
The main course continues the romantic journey with rich, share-worthy plates. Velvet Kofta Gnocchi pairs pillowy textures with a delicate cashew cream sauce, creating a comforting yet indulgent dish. Pasta La Romance reinvents a classic favourite with butter chicken–filled pasta parcels served in a velvety tomato butter base. Seafood lovers can choose Hooked on You, a char-grilled fish accompanied by fragrant Thai red curry and jasmine rice, ideal for a cosy and relaxed dinner.
Desserts strike a balance between light and indulgent. Lavender Kisses, a lavender-infused panna cotta paired with poached pear, offers a refined floral finish, while Ruby Romance Mousse impresses with its naturally pink ruby chocolate and silky texture.
Complementing the menu is a special Valentine’s cocktail selection crafted in collaboration with Maize and Malt. Romantic pours such as In Between Us, a floral and smoky gin cocktail, and Heartstrings, a soft bittersweet blend of vodka and strawberry, are designed to enhance the dining experience and set the mood for an intimate evening.
With its warm ambience, romantic menu, and handcrafted cocktails, Maize and Malt promises a memorable Valentine’s celebration, making it a perfect spot in Bengaluru to slow down, celebrate love, and enjoy meaningful moments together.

Mirth Cocktail Conservatory is inviting Bengaluru’s whisky lovers to celebrate the spirit, heritage, and craftsmanship of Scotland on International Scotch Day this February 8th. Known for its contemporary approach to mixology, Mirth promises an evening that honours Scotch whisky in both its classic and modern forms.
Whether guests prefer a neat pour of fine malts or enjoy experimenting with new-age flavour combinations, Mirth positions itself as the city’s go-to destination for the celebrated “water of life.” For this special occasion, the bar’s mixologists have curated a signature Scotch menu that explores bold pairings while staying rooted in the character of the spirit.
One of the highlights of the menu is Pour Me A Slice, created for those with a bold palate. The cocktail features Dewar's 12 infused with Gouda and Blue Cheese, balanced with honey, bitters, and a cherry-hibiscus infused sake. The result is a savoury and floral creation that offers a fresh take on the traditional whisky experience.
Another standout offering is Mango Reverie, a cocktail inspired by the nostalgic pairing of raw mango and chilli, a flavour combination deeply rooted in Indian street culture. Built on JW Black Label, the drink blends a sharp raw mango cordial with soda to keep it light and refreshing. Chilli salt adds heat and texture, while the whisky’s subtle smokiness brings balance, making it playful, nostalgic, and easy-drinking.
Guests can look forward to an evening marked by refined pours and vibrant energy. At Mirth, Scotch is not just served but celebrated through storytelling, creativity, and thoughtful craftsmanship, one sip at a time.

Singh Sahib has introduced Mehr-o-Mah, a new intimate dining destination in Gurugram that reimagines slow, immersive dining through the lens of royal Indian elegance. Conceptualised as a sanctuary away from the city’s pace, Mehr-o-Mah invites diners into a space where calm, craftsmanship, and culinary storytelling take centre stage.
Inspired by centuries-old mirror-work traditions, Mehr-o-Mah is designed as a candle-lit retreat adorned with lakhs of hand-set mirror fragments. These delicate reflections create a warm, hushed glow, setting the tone for an unhurried and deeply personal dining experience. The space is crafted to encourage stillness, allowing guests to linger and engage with each moment at ease.
At the heart of Mehr-o-Mah is a five-course, chef-curated tasting menu, thoughtfully pre-set to unfold like a ceremonial journey. The menu showcases layered flavours and regional inspirations, with dishes such as Sahjan ka Shorba, Chettinad Kozhi Rasam, Nawabi Gucchi, Murgh Shahi Neelam Tikka, Mehr-o-Mah Mutton Curry, and the delicate Daulat ki Chaat. Each course is served at a measured pace, accompanied by refined alcohol-free beverages designed to complement the flavours with balance and restraint.
Blending heritage with contemporary finesse, Mehr-o-Mah is envisioned for discerning diners seeking intimacy, elegance, and depth beyond conventional fine dining. With its focus on ritual, storytelling, and sensory detail, Mehr-o-Mah sets a new benchmark for experiential dining in Gurugram, where every evening feels quietly celebratory and thoughtfully composed.
