If you want a break from the bustling eating joints of Delhi head over to the very discrete ATM or À Ta Maison. Nestled in the leafy lanes of Sunder Nagar, this private member’s club is a great retreat.
This intimate Maison is spread across two floors with an elegant old-world charm. You enter the moody teak wood bar, which has a carefully curated wine and malt list, and serves an impressive cocktail menu. You can move to the casual dining bistro which is lined with art and patterned flooring. The formal dining room is impressively luxurious and perfect for private dinners with family and friends.
The terrace has an elegant sunroom, bathed in natural light. The adjacent library with its leather furniture is great for book club meetings or movie evenings. The Maison offers its members a dressing room with private salon services too. With all these exciting services, the big question is does the food match up? The answer is an emphatic, yes!
ATM has a delightful Petit Plats menu. A modern and creative take on “nibbles” – comfort food in small portions, perfect for sharing. Our favourite were the chicken scotched eggs with spinach and wild mushroom duxelle.
The main menu can be best described as French cuisine, with a British twist. Try the Rossini of beef with mushroom and truffle Jus de Veau or the simple pan fried red snapper with spinach risotto and leak veloute. We suggest that you sinfully gorge on the Baileys crème brûlée or the wild berry Eton mess with pistachios.
