IV. AKU’s Burgers

Grab a craft burger that has already amassed a cult following in the city, a homegrown concept spearheaded by chef-owner Akriti Malhotra.

Promising a profound gustatory experience, the craft burger venture was started by the combined efforts of chef Akriti Malhotra and her sibling. Having interned at Italian fine dining restaurant Diva, Akriti felt that there weren’t enough restaurants in Delhi which served casual and honest food. It is because of this that she started this initiative, which has become a hit with the millenials in the city. You can grab a bite of her creation at the Indian Cocktail Week this year.

VIII. International Bartender Pop-ups

Atlas (Singapore, Asia #5, World#8), Manhattan(Singapore, Asia#2, World#11), The Pontiac (Hong kong, Asia #32, World #93), and Havana Social (Bangkok)- some of the top bars in Asia are flying their bartenders down to do takeovers at bars across the Cocktail Village.

They will stir up their signature cocktails at the event. Havana Social in Bangkok, is famous for its innovative cocktails that star light and dark rums, craft beers and an outstanding Sazerac, a cognac and whiskey cocktail. Forming the heart of Parkview Square, ATLAS is a celebration of the 1920’s rich culinary and beverage traditions. The result is something unique in Asia, a truly grand backdrop that harks to a time when — while their American contemporaries were surreptitiously tippling in underground speakeasies — Europeans were revelling in Deco glamour and unabashed Jazz Age elegance, sampling the finest libations in suitably beautiful surrounds.
