About the Restaurant
MEKONG takes diners on a culinary journey through the course of its Namesake, transporting guests to the old-world mystique of the River’s neighboring districts of Yunan and Sichuan in China, and across Thailand and Vietnam. Helmed by a team of native Chefs, the regional cuisines of these areas, complemented by a vast Dim Sum Menu, present an award-winning dining experience that is truly par excellence.
This gastronomic journey begins with the authentic tastes of Yunnan, the province with an immense variety of remarkable, flavorsome cuisine, with strong ethnic character. Going southwards to Vietnam, patrons experience a country with an affinity for fresh ingredients and a minimal use of oil; and a strong reliance on herbs and vegetables. The experience then spans through Thailand where the intensely aromatic food boasts a complex interplay of finishes. Experience the four flavors - Salty, Sour, Sweet and Hot- that are the main tenants of all these regions in the cooking style at Mekong. Blended together with specially flown-in herbs, spices and ingredients of this region, diners encounter a perfect balance of tastes that pleasantly startle and surprise their palates.
The décor at Mekong is reminiscent of evocative memories and moods down a waterway - floating twigs, passing scenes and emerald hues, all adding to the effect of an Asian expedition. Boasting excellent views of the city, Mekong overlooks Mumbai's green oasis – the Racecourse with the Arabian Sea lapping the southern and western shores of Mumbai.
