There can never be too many fine dining restaurants in Pune especially when there is such a tremendous demand for good trendy restaurants for families and friends alike. Pune is a versatile city with a deep love for food rooting from its colourful history. So it is not surprising when the city crowd is so enthusiastic regarding gastronomic delights present in the town. At Hotel Royal Orchid Central in Kalyani Nagar, there is one such place which has been a stagnant favourite of the foodies and local families for quite some time. At ‘Pinxx’ you are assured to be taken care of by their cordial and prompt staff who gives you a flawless evening. Pinxx is a quite spacious and pleasing place with high ceiling and pale washed walls making the room seem more breathable. Décor is done in a tasteful way so the effect is sophisticated and warm. A large picture window overlooks the courtyard dotted with lush plants and is a great place to sit and dine.
Food at Pinxx is multicuisine. The menu covers various national and international cuisines prepared beautifully by the chef. Their buffet draws regulars on frequent basis and is the highlight of the restaurant. However, their a la carte menu is not bad at all too. You can be more free and adventurous in your selection here. Menu opens with a lavish range of scrumptious breakfast featuring continental, Indian, American and Royal Orchid special breakfast. You can wash it down with a glass of lassi, milkshake, tea or coffee. The dinner menu is impressively long with an exhaustive display of variety.

You can then move on to the main section which features a fulfilling and satisfying showcase of recipes. Tuck into, baked vegetable lasagne, roast chicken rosemary, pasta bolognaise, rattan manjusha, babycorn mushroom HongKong style, gosht khada masala, slice lamb soy chilli sauce, panini sandwich, fish and chips, chicken tikka burritos, veg quiche, paneer tawa masala, mushroom risotto, grilled silver pomfret with spicy bacon and shrimps and mutton roganjosh. The dessert section is equally satisfying at Pinxx. You can order an apple crumble, death by chocolate or moong dal halwa as the perfect ending to a memorable evening.
