New destinations for gourmet

Speciality Restaurants is planning to open an Italian cuisine restaurant chain under the name Mizuna. A pilot project in this regard has already begun at Pune. The restaurant is expected to be operational by December 2012. Mizuna will be a bar-cum-eatery following a ‘breakfast to dinner’ format. Based on the response in Pune, they will look to take up projects across the country including Kolkata.

The company will also set up a food plaza in Rajarhat in West Bengal at an expected cost of Rs 17 crore where it will have all the restaurant brands under one roof. One acre of land for the project has already been bought and application for obtaining necessary clearances is also in process. The work for the same is expected to begin early next year.
