Downtown West welcomes PUNCH, a vibrant new restaurant that blends the bold spirit of modern London with the warmth of Indian flavours. From family-inspired recipes to thoughtful design, PUNCH offers a dining experience that feels both refined and soulful.
Executive Chef Mandar Kulkarni (Le Select Bistro, Don Alfonso 1890, BISHA, BUCA) leads the kitchen with a menu that reimagines classic dishes through a contemporary lens. Highlights include Butter Chicken Pot Pie, Beef Wellington with Rogan Josh jus, and Mumbai Chat-Slaw. Each dish tells a story of heritage and reinvention.
The 91-seat dining room, designed by Block Plan Studios, balances British elegance with rich Indian textures. Warm tones of mustard, amber, and green create a welcoming space anchored by handcrafted chandeliers. At the bar, the cocktail list brings creativity to every pour — try the Pimm’s Remix with vodka, jasmine tea, coconut, and piri-piri, or the Crown Jewel with gin, Darjeeling tea, and pineapple-anise bitters.
Guests can unwind in the chandelier-lit dining room or visit the martini-focused Library Lounge for a more intimate experience. Every corner of PUNCH reflects a sense of culture, flavour, and design that feels uniquely Toronto.
