The Market at The Ritz-Carlton, Bangalore wasn't on our list of places we'd think of for dinner dates until we went for their all-new a la carte dinner menu preview. The all-day dining aspect of The Market paves the way for a dinner spot come 7 PM, and you have a truly global menu to pick from.
On our preview night, we had a curated menu to choose from that included cold plates, salads, appetisers, main courses, and desserts. With us was the General Manager, Reuben Kataria, and the Marketing Director, Nikita Mascarenhas, who walked us through the concept of how the idea is to move away from the buffet format and take advantage of the fact that The Market has such a good space that's suited for dinner arrangements. And of course, give guests the option of picking things that best play to the hotel's culinary strengths.
We agree because, while a buffet has its people, for dinner dates, we'd prefer made-to-order dishes and also not eat like there's no tomorrow. And when we say dinner dates, we don't mean just couples out on a romantic splurge, but girlfriends catch-ups that are long due or those business dinners where you want to close the deal.
