ELLE Gourmet India X Gourmet Village: An Exclusive Restaurant Hopping Soirée For Gourmands At Phoenix Palladium

It’s a rare and special moment when a city’s most beloved restaurants come together, bound by a shared passion for food. At ELLE Gourmet India, we’re always on the lookout for places where culinary craftsmanship can be truly celebrated, where every bite tells a story. This time, we’ve found our home at the Gourmet Village in Phoenix Palladium, Mumbai – a haven for food lovers, currently housing 12 iconic names under one roof: FOO, Burma Burma, Andrea's Brasserie, Le Pain Quotidien, Fountain Sizzlers, Cream Centre, The Silver Train, Kuuraku, Ice Cream Works GOLD, Harley’s, and The Game Palacio. With Phoenix Palladium completing 16 glorious years, this offering will soon expand to 25+ new restaurants – think of it as a gift to the vibrant city of Mumbai.

To turn up the flavour, we’ve designed a curated food trail – a dynamic dining experience where guests will hop from one restaurant to another, savouring signature dishes and discovering new favourites.

Mark your calendars for September 24, 2025 as a one-of-a-kind, invite-only soirée unfolds, bringing together India’s most celebrated tastemakers, influential content creators, and a select gathering of food connoisseurs. It’s an evening crafted for those who live to eat and love to celebrate it.

Soirée In Motion

The event kicks off at Game Palacio, where guests will be welcomed with a cocktail and a preview of the gastronomic journey ahead. Divided into four curated groups, each led by a beloved industry voice – Nikhil Merchant (F&B Writer and Consultant), Vidhi Doshi (Content Creator), Karishma Sakhrani (MasterChef India Finalist), and Roshni Bajaj (Independent Food & Travel Writer) – the food trail begins.

From DIY salad bowls at Kitchen Garden by Suzette, flavourful Burmese bites at Burma Burma, timeless comfort from Cream Centre, sizzling platters at Fountain Sizzlers, Japanese delicacies at Kuuraku, contemporary Asian twists at FOO, regional Indian flavours at The Silver Train, hearty classics from Harley’s, and a make-your-own-dessert moment at Ice Cream Works GOLD – each stop offers a fresh burst of flavours and traditions, all within a rotating 20-minute culinary circuit.

After the trail, guests regroup at The Game Palacio for light bites, mocktails, and a chance to toast to the evening. Plus, of course, a few glamorous moments at the media wall. Because no unforgettable night is complete without some unforgettable photos.

Calendars are marked. Anticipation has been held on. Menus have been decided. Feast prep has begun. 

All for the evening that promises Gourmet in its best form. Stay tuned.
