The Frame, a four-storey restaurant in Meherchand Market, Lodhi Colony, New Delhi, introduces a dining concept combining French culinary techniques, Italian influences, curated wines and contemporary art. The restaurant is designed to offer multiple dining experiences, with food and creativity placed at the centre of its identity.
Different dining formats are offered across the four floors, ranging from casual walk-in options to an elaborate seasonal 10–12 course tasting menu. Quick bites, including Pizza Dog and Acai Bowls, are available on the ground floor, while the upper levels accommodate more formal dining experiences.
The menu is developed around classical French cooking methods and Italian dining traditions, with an emphasis on ingredients, presentation and technique. Signature dishes include Beetroot Ravioli, Forest & Field, Duck Apple Mustard with charcoal purée and game jus, Lamb & Beetroot with pesto, and Mushroom Steak featuring lion's mane mushrooms and risotto. Desserts include Tiramisu, Almond & Cherry with white chocolate parfait, and Chocolate & Raspberry with raspberry sorbet and citrus cream.
A curated wine programme forms an important part of the beverage offering, supported by a selection of innovative cocktails. The wine list is designed to evolve seasonally while maintaining a consistent core selection.
The restaurant's architecture draws inspiration from Lodhi Colony's street art culture and European design influences. Its distinctive façade incorporates hand-shaped clay elements, while the interiors feature mosaics, hand-painted ceilings, ceramics, sandstone and natural finishes.
Contemporary art is integrated throughout the dining spaces through commissioned installations and collaborations with independent artists. Exhibitions are planned to rotate every three to six months, allowing new creative expressions to be introduced regularly. Selected artworks are also available for purchase, bringing together dining, design and artistic engagement within a single destination.
