Four eating joints with quirky interiors and perfect backdrops
Bindass Begum Rocking Raja, Mumbai, India
Bindaas Begum Rockin’ Raja is a boutique restaurant that provides rarest, nostalgic and vintage - century old cuisine, with contemporary tweak and treatment. It’s all about Mughal Rajas and traditions along with some of the most authentic cuisines that were served to the Kings. You will see a lot of intricate and eloquent artefacts across every wall - mirror work to a gramophone, a wall of fame of various kings, hand-paintings of Begum and Raja, the swords, beautiful and intricate chandeliers, and a beautiful seating arrangement. All the food items on the menu at BBRR are recipes from royal households of our country. The effort to curate the menu on board and turning all of it into reality took about four and a half years in research and collating the lost recipes which India was known for.
Elan Cafe, London, UK
Serving breakfasts, brunches, lunches, cake and coffee in a pink-hued paradise, this place in The City of London is deliciously extra. There’s a real global, digital buzz about the place, yet it’s still confined within a very small and intimate setting. It is a very popular joint for the fashionistasbloggers-selfie-takers-and-candlestick-makers due to its candy floss, fairytale pink-everythinginteriors. The attention to detail from the marble top bistro tables and vintage pink seating is a visual feast. However, the main deal is the ceiling to floor floral displays. Not just the interiors but they pay extra attention to what they serve as well. Elan take pride over their coffees, and not just in taste but also in their passion to source from ethical and sustainble businesses too.
Nanan Patisserie, Wroclaw, Poland
Nanan means sweetmeats in French and sweets play the leading role in this signature design of a modern patisserie. The deliberately minimalist interior provides a subtle setting for the protagonists: finely decorated sophisticates cakes and éclairs. The speciality of this patisserie, the éclair, has inspired the interior design and the visual identity of Nanan. The cake’s oval shape is echoed in the central island counter with display that operates almost like a glass cabinet in a jeweller’s shop. It has also inspired the bespoke design of lamps and other details of the interior such as mirrors, door handles, coat hangers and veneer perforation. An éclair motif has naturally lent itself to the patisserie’s visual identification. The whole place is given a context of soft, velvet, pink walls with arched doorways. Combined with delicate shining brass details it builds a dreamy ambience.
