Savor the best of Asian fusion at XO & Mi, Delhi’s newest dining gem

Who isn’t a foodie, no? Especially in a cultural melting pot like Delhi, where every bite is a tour to tradition and history. Adding to this culinary range is XO & Mi @ Le Belvedere, the latest offering from Le Meridien in New Delhi. This dining destination is a modern take on the Le Belvedere restaurant, a place once synonymous with Szechuan Chinese cuisine.

“We didn’t want to do away with the legacy of Le Belvedere,” said Meena Bhatia, vice president and general manager of the Le Meridien Hotel in New Delhi. “Our focus is to present Asian comfort food while exploring other experimental flavours.”

Taking inspiration from the bustling food markets of Thailand, Vietnam, Korea, Japan, Singapore, and China, the restaurant serves traditional dishes with a contemporary touch. “Our menu is proof of the incredible diversity of this region,” remarked Chef Shekhar Kiroula, executive sous chef at Le Meridien, adding, “along with the artistic Vietnamese cuisine, the umami-rich delights of Japan, Chinese culinary traditions and blended flavours from Singapore,Thailand and Korea.”

At XO & Mi one can enjoy a tempting selection of soups, fresh sushi rolls, tender tofu, stir-fried udon noodles, along with irresistible desserts like honey Shibuya toast and coffee tres leches, among others.

The reimagined place stays true to its roots of elegance—situated in the heart of the capital city, XO & Mi treats the visitors with a picturesque view of the India Gate. The restaurant glows with well-lit space from natural light seeping through large window-panes, making it a perfect dining hall to relax and relish delicious food.

According to Bhatia, “food is now a global story”. “You can go anywhere and try anything in any part of the world,” she added.
