With Easter around the corner, restaurants are curating festive menus that blend traditional favourites with inventive twists. From seasonal desserts to elaborate brunches, it’s a chance to step out and indulge in flavours that capture the spirit of the holiday.
Restaurants turn into Easter wonderlands
At JW Marriott Mumbai Sahar, the Easter brunch brings together live counters and festive classics, set against a décor of handcrafted egg displays and bunny-themed installations. “We’ve created a warm, joyful setting with live music, Easter egg painting for kids, a Make Your Own French Sandwich station, and a Travel Cake Decorating station where guests can personalise and take home their creations,” says chef Prakash Chettiyar.
Bastian Hospitality is also leaning into the festive mood with Easter décor, live music, and a special menu running through the weekend. “We’ve introduced exclusive Easter desserts, including new variations of mousse and brûlée. Easter themed décor and live music will be featured at Garden City and Riviera. Empire will be offering the special menu,” says executive brand chef Amol Phute.
Egg-citing activities for kids
At Sofitel Mumbai BKC, the Easter brunch at Pondichéry Café focuses on interactive experiences for children. “From egg hunts and painting to our Golden Easter Egg Piñata and an interactive chocolate gift box, it’s designed to be playful and immersive,” says pastry chef Nilesh Dewulkar.
Hotel Marine Plaza is also offering a kids’ menu alongside a chocolate fountain, candies, and festive staples like hot cross buns and Easter pastries, shares executive chef Amit Kocharekar.
Going beyond desserts
Easter menus this year are extending well beyond sweets. At Four Seasons Hotel, the brunch features a global spread, from charcuterie and cheese boards to Indian, Asian, and Western dishes. “Highlights include Honey Orange Glazed Ham, Sage Butter Roast Chicken with morel cream sauce, and Easter Scotch quail eggs,” says pastry chef Sainath More, alongside desserts like S’mores Hot Cross Buns and Easter Bunny cupcakes.
At Someplace Else, the menu includes Easter Garden Toast, Bunny’s Carrot Hummus, Cracker Pepper Chicken, and Golden Honey & Spring Lotus Crisps, says executive chef Parikshit Joshi.
Vegetarian festive options
Easter menus are also expanding their vegetarian offerings. “Our spread includes fruit cakes, Belgian chocolate cakes, raspberry mousse pastries, Mediterranean mezze, and flavourful small plates,” says chef Nilesh Dewulkar.
At JW Marriott Mumbai Sahar, vegetarian and vegan options are woven across the menu. “Our dessert selection especially ensures the same level of craft and festive spirit for everyone,” adds chef Prakash Chettiyar.
