Punch

What is Punch? Set inside Le Germain Hotel at 30 Mercer Street in the Entertainment District, Punch channels the moody swagger of modern London dining with a bold Indo-British edge. Helmed by Executive Chef Mandar Kulkarni—an alum of Michelin-starred Don Alfonso 1890, Buca, and Le Sélect Bistro—the restaurant blends subcontinental heritage with classic UK formats. The 91-seat dining room, designed by Block Plan Studios, glows beneath commanding chandeliers with rich mahogany tones, leather banquettes, table lamps, and a bustling cocktail bar counter.

Punch Menu & What to Order Kulkarni's shareable menu bridges generational family recipes and global fine-dining technique with remarkable precision. Start with the crisp pear-and-kohlrabi dressed madai crudo or the crunchy Mumbai chaat-slaw before moving to the kebab-spiced Scotch egg. The undisputed showstopper is the tender beef Wellington poured table-side with aromatic rogan josh jus, followed closely by a butter chicken pot pie encased in flaky golden pastry. Pair your meal with the signature rum-forward Punch Panch or the chai-spiced Old Fashioned from the cocktail program.

Know Before You Go Given its proximity to the TIFF Lightbox and King West theatres, prime dinner seatings book quickly on OpenTable, though solo diners and walk-ins can often snag seats at the bar. Valet parking is available through Le Germain Hotel at the Mercer Street entrance, and St. Andrew subway station is a short five-minute walk east. The kitchen serves dinner seven nights a week with late weekend hours, plus a full Sunday brunch service.
