This new restaurant isnt meant only for foodies. Sura Vie intends to live up to its name sur meaning a musical note in Sanskrit,and vie meaning life in French.

This new restaurant isnt meant only for foodies. Sura Vie intends to live up to its name sur meaning a musical note in Sanskrit,and vie meaning life in French. What sets apart this week-old restaurant from its contemporaries in Delhi is that it places as much emphasis on visual and performance arts as on the food and alcohol menus.

Located across two floors of 1,Scindia House in Janpath,the 160-seater restaurant has a large stage and ambient lighting. A multi-cuisine menu is the other highlight,with dishes ranging from wood-fired pizzas and pastas to desi fare,in which one section concentrates on special foods of Delhi.

The food is a mix of comfort and eclectic popular world cuisine. There will be a little bit of madness in the dishes. It will basically be food that you want to come back to, says celebrity Chef Sanjeev Kapoor,whose company Indian Cookery Private Limited is collaborating with Mumbai-based publishing house,Popular Prakashan,in this project.

Food for thought will come from a weekly art adda at the venue. But first,the restaurant is concentrating on establishing itself as a music hub. Well have live performances over weekends and a karaoke night at least once a week. Eventually,we hope to have art exhibitions and theatre performances as we have the infrastructure to become a major cultural hub for visual and performing arts, says Harsha Bhatkal,director of Sura Vie.
