Gurugram welcomes India’s first museum-themed restaurant

India’s first museum-themed restaurant, Begeterre, opened its doors to patrons on 7 September, 2024. Spread across 1,100 square feet and two floors, the ‘white palace’ with its arches and high ceilings is an ode to Rome. Begeterre is a reflection of the growing trend in the restaurant industry-dining isn't just about star chefs, fancy cocktails, and fusion food. It is also about designing an experience. It’s about ambience, storytelling, and immersive themes. Begeterre’s vastness is almost cathedral-like. And while it’s an homage to Rome, its culinary offerings are akin to Jules Verne’s Around the World in Eighty Days, from India to Turkey to Mexico and Asia. “I’m not just selling a restaurant, I’m offering an experience. It’s not just about the ambience or the interior design, it’s also about the food,” said restaurant owner Sanyam Kalra.

But couldn't think of more than copying europe even though we can have a museum based on our own history.
Amazing copycats.

[@jitenmehra17]

A museum is a Very apt theme generally in Gurgaon because good governance, roads, Electricity, land and order, basic infrastructure is a thing of the forgotten past now

[@trideep220280]

Apt for a place where most apartments are inspired by Western names😊

[@burrahhhbrr]

@theprint is this what you call journalism?

[@pv5730]

Very good. Love it 👏👏👏

[@rajx7120]

Nice. Please also, make a theme on Indian heritage as well. Not complaining, it is Roman. But your experience will be valuable in doing same for Indian version too. You could start a chain, covering history of the world.

[@palashrawat401]

getting influenced by an experience should be done by someone who has lived and absorbed the details otherwise there is a high danger of looking like a fake copy. Influence is not a problem but bringing authenticity is important.

I am guessing this is a advertisement or a puff piece. Print there is nothing wrong in putting a advert...but just say so. Why does a cheap wall paper restaurant reach national news?

[@harshharani1001]

Who cares about roman history

[@Xen-wy6bo]

Y Roman History??? 😂 Their colonial mindset 😅.

[@amritanshsinha]

There was no colony in the times of the Romans my friend

[@vallinorean-akl]

We were not colonised by Romans.

[@Krishna.mourya]

it's a Christian restaurant that's gross

[@sarvajanhitaay]

Romans weren't Christians in ancient context. They were pegan like us, if you remember then Romans were against Christ.

[@Akash-nb7lu]

​@@sarvajanhitaay and then they were the ones which spread Christianity as well.

[@FootballShortVideo-p6i]

Hindu would be worse 🤮🤮🤧

[@JayKumar-mr2oh]

Yes more colonial bootlicking.
