Brewed with precision and passion by the brewery’s expert team in India, the Golden Ale was shortlisted and sent to Singapore for an exclusive tasting session as part of Beer Asia’s nomination process. Competing against exceptional entries from the continent, Ironhill’s creation impressed judges with its balance, aroma, and finesse, earning the much-coveted Chairman’s Selection title, a rare honour in the international brewing scene.

Ironhill’s team personally travelled to Bangkok to receive the award, a moment filled with pride and emotion. The win reflects the brewery’s dedication to innovation and its commitment to raising the standards of craft beer from India.

Soulinaire Makes Its Coastal Debut in Alibaug

Soulinaire Makes Its Coastal Debut in Alibaug

Soulinaire has dropped anchor in Alibaug, and with it comes a fresh breeze of food, music, and coastal energy. Indian Hotels Company (IHCL), the country’s largest hospitality group, has opened its first flagship Soulinaire restaurant on the Alibaug boardwalk, a space designed to blend seaside calm with the brand’s signature flair for culinary storytelling.

What began as IHCL’s creative lifestyle catering brand has now evolved into one of India’s most recognised names for curated dining experiences, from lavish events to private celebrations. And now, this spirit finds a permanent home by the Arabian Sea.

“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, said Mr. Somnath Mukherjee, Executive Vice President, West and Head of Food and Beverage, IHCL.

The two-storey, 200-seater restaurant opens onto views that stop conversations. On the ground floor, large glass windows let in the sea breeze while a circular bar and an indoor pool add to its tropical charm. The terrace connects to an airy lounge, perfect for laid-back brunches or cocktail hours that stretch into sunset.

Upstairs, the mood turns warm and intimate, bamboo, jute, and sun-washed brick set the tone for a private banquet area with a live kitchen and panoramic balcony views. Whether for intimate gatherings or grand celebrations, Soulinaire’s design captures Alibaug’s relaxed rhythm with a touch of refined fun.

The menu reads like a journey, familiar, playful, and full of flavour. From Akuri and Poha that bring back Mumbai mornings to Paneer Tikka Tacos and Masala Croissant Bhaji with their cheeky twists, each dish carries a story. Local favourites like Misal Pav, Bombil Fry, Jheenga Masala, and Gaoran Kombdi Rassa pay tribute to the coast, while global bites like Honey Chilli Potatoes, Sichuan Chicken, and Beetroot & Goat Cheese Tartine keep things fresh.

Cocktails are as much a highlight as the food. The Alibaug Sling and Mai Tai bring tropical flavours to life, while the Sunset Negroni and Espresso Martini turn evenings into conversations. Every drink, like every dish, reflects the coastal character of the space, lively, layered, and effortlessly stylish.

Desserts arrive like curtain calls, dramatic and indulgent. The Molten Choco-Walnut Symphony and Tantalizing Tiramisu Twist headline the list, while ice cream flavours like Sitaphal Yuzu and Tender Coconut keep nostalgia alive at the live dessert counter.

As the day turns golden, the boardwalk fills with laughter, clinking glasses, and music that rolls in with the tide. Sundays bring brunches, weeknights feel like reunions, and every visit feels like a short holiday.

With its inviting atmosphere, bold flavours, and coastal heartbeat, Soulinaire Alibaug is more than a restaurant, it’s where stories, sunsets, and good food meet.

Restaurant Timings: 9:00 AM – 11:00 PM
