Under the leadership of the newly appointed chef de cuisine, Diego Martinelli, the sublime menu showcases a fresh line of creativity with a dollop of the nostalgia of retreating winters.

Diego whips up excellence with his creative bent playing around with the local herbs and spices, combining them with the perfect cuts of meats and freshly farmed vegetables. Complementing the season, Le Cirque’s new menu strikes a perfect balance with a wide selection of chef’s own creations and Le Cirque Signatures straight from New York.

The collections of his handcrafted culinary delicacies include the Lobster Ravioli, Risotto Alla Cipolla, Yellowfin Tuna, Sea Bass in Crispy Potato Paupiette and Chicken Al Mattone. For our guests with vegan preferences, the menu offers a delicious Pumpkin soup, tasty Zucchini Frittelle, Capellini, Fritto Misto and Risotto Ai Carciofi, which can be paired with our exclusive range of wine or champagne. The new menu at the New Delhi restaurant pays special tribute to healthy, low-calorie and gluten-free indulgences.

Diego’s personal favourites on the menu include his signature Pumpkin Tortelloni with its sweet flavour and texture, the Sage Pappardelle Pasta for comfort food and Pork Belly with richness in its soft meat and crispy skin.
