EH&C Staff - New Delhi

After the successful opening of Fire and Agni last year, The Park, New Delhi recently opened Mist, the 132-seater all-day dining restaurant. Mist was earlier Portico, the 24-hour coffee shop that has been completely renovated.

The outlet has a predominantly Italian menu. An average main course menu has been priced at Rs 400 plus taxes per person. The furniture chosen also makes reference to Italian designs of the ‘50s and ‘60s.

Says Mohit Sharma, director food and beverage, The Park, New Delhi, "This is part of the hotel's first phase of renovation that will be completed by October 2005. We are targeting primarily local corporate, the in-house clients and socially active people for this new restaurant."

Designed by Conran & Partners, UK, the design and décor is the main USP of Mist. The restaurant opens into the outdoor pool creating a feeling of the expanse.

Sharma is upbeat that Mist will offer its guests cutting edge international experience. He is confident of increasing his food and beverage revenue substantially.

"Cost effectiveness, less stiffness in style of service and ambience differentiates Mist from other restaurants. The product is strong and is likely to create a niche for itself in the market. With the opening of this restaurant, we are expecting 100 per cent increase in revenue this year," he concludes.
