L&S Bistro Launches 'Made for Matcha' - A New Tea Experience

In a city where the pace rarely slows, L&S Bistro at InterContinental Marine Drive is offering something Mumbai didn't know it needed: a pause button, served in a cup. The restaurant's newly launched Made for Matcha Menu brings the meditative ritual of Japanese tea culture to Marine Drive, alongside 10 contemporary interpretations that prove matcha is far more versatile than the occasional latte add-on. 

As Mumbai's wellness-conscious diners increasingly seek alternatives to conventional café beverages, matcha has emerged as the sophisticated choice - packed with antioxidants, offering sustained energy without the jitters, and steeped in centuries of Japanese tradition. L&S Bistro's new menu responds to this growing demand with an experience that goes beyond a simple drink order.

The Ceremonial Experience

At the heart of the menu is the Classic Matcha Tea Ceremony - a rare offering in Mumbai's dining scene. Rooted in Taoist tradition, this mindful ritual allows guests to experience matcha in its purest, most authentic form, prepared with precision and savoured with intention. It's an invitation to pause in a city that rarely stops.

"We wanted to create more than just a menu - we wanted to offer an experience of tranquility and craftsmanship," says Kushkant Tripathi, Director of Food & Beverage". Matcha represents a philosophy of mindful indulgence, and every item on our menu reflects that balance between wellness and pleasure."

The launch comes at a time when matcha has moved from niche health food stores to mainstream menus worldwide, yet few establishments in Mumbai offer the breadth and authenticity that L&S Bistro now provides under one roof.
