Imagine you are wearing a silk long dress and are walking into a Roman restaurant with huge chandeliers and dim lights around. Well, that is the same elegance and luxury we felt when we walked into Belmarose in Mumbai. Known as a fine-dining restaurant and high-energy bar, this luxurious Roman-themed space is just amazing. With opulent designs and a charming bar space, we have been seeing the space on the screen of our phone, and so decided to check it out ourselves if it is worth the hype. Here’s an unfiltered, unsobered review for you!
Belmarose feels like the meeting spot of European elegance and modern luxury nightlife. It is an immersive destination that seamlessly transitions from an unhurried European-style fine dining restaurant to a high-energy, glamorous nightlife escape.
The name is inspired by the Italian word Bella; the name Belmarose means “beautiful rose”. Just like its name, the place offers elegance, luxury, warmth, and romance.

It is spread across 5,000 sq. ft of space, and the interiors are inspired by Roman and European aesthetics. You will spot various details related to both these cultures everywhere. From chandeliers to sculptures, the place is sure to transport you to the Romanian era.
The bar space is known as the gravitational center, which bridges the gap between the fine-dining space and the high-energy bar. With Roman-inspired elegance, the bar features artistic textures and premium leather finishes. It also has a moody, warm light that casts a glow over the counter. Led by master mixologists, the bar becomes the high-octane epicenter after 11 PM.

Lightly battered prawns, deep-fried until golden and crispy, served with a tangy dipping sauce. If simple but impactful had a definition in the form of a food dish, it has to be Prawns Tempura at Belamrose. The prawns were perfectly fried, they were nice and crispy on the outside while being soft and meaty on the inside. It gave us the perfect start to this evening.

The word Salium in Latin means salty or savory, and that is exactly how this drink is! This sophisticated signature cocktail is carefully crafted around a bittersweet, savory-sweet flavor profile. With gin and silky stone-fruit nectar as its base, this drink also has a proper measurement of saline solution added to it. Elegantly served ice-cold in a chilled coupe, this drink sets the mood for the party.

This cocktail is a balanced vodka-based drink with the magic of Konkan’s distinct fruit, Kokum.

Tempura prawns, avocado, crispy tempura flakes, and house sauce. We are not huge fans of sushi, but this dish made us try more than one piece of the sushi roll. It gave little crunch on the outside with tempura flakes, but was nice and smooth on the inside. The house sauce added a lot of flavor to these rolls.

This is a signature cocktail from the Roman mythology-inspired beverage program.

Smoked chicken croquettes served with Caesar foam and parmesan cheese. The Caesar foam was simply out of this world, with a very unique foam-like texture. The croquettes tasted good with amazing filling, but they felt a bit too smoky than required. This unique salad dish was an eye-candy but did not please us much with its taste. But if you like smoky dishes, you will surely fall for this one here.
Would We Order It Again? Probably, no.
