We have all heard of King Arthur and the knights of the Round Table and their quests throughout Europe while growing up. For those who are still fascinated with the legend what better way than to follow in their footsteps than with a culinary journey at Arthur’s Theme. 1997 saw the inception of Chef Navtej’s Arthur’s Theme in Koregaon Park, Pune and now they have brought the legend to Goa.
In keeping with theme of King Arthur one can expect to find a large hand crafted shield, the signature sword in the stone and other various quirky artifacts in the restaurant. Medieval English décor is what springs to mind, but this far from reality. The elegantly cultivated décor is light, airy with subtle hues of ivory and almost traditional Laura Ashley floral prints with a hint of gold. Arthur’s Theme has created their own eclectic version of 6th century chandeliers, Venetian mirrors and light panels that reflect the King Arthur’s symbol.
Chef Navtej Sawhney, who has won several awards from the “King Chef” title 2004, 2009 and 2010 has trained in various countries and hotels around the world conceptualized this casual dining restaurant.
At Arthur’s Theme, like any good feast at the round table in Camelot there are a large variety main to choose from around Europe. The dough, sauces, dressings and the marinade all are prepared in-house and guaranteed to be made of the finest ingredients at Arthur’s Theme. To mention but a few of the signature dishes that must be tried are Konrad- Cajun grilled fish fillet with lemon butter sauce, Saxon- roasted duck served with orange sauce, Artois (Latin for Arthur)- stuffed chicken roulade topped with a rich mushroom sauce, Humbert- cottage cheese shaslik served on a bed of rice, Sassy- pasta tossed in basil pesto and grilled chicken. However, no feast is ever complete without the something for one’s sweet tooth. So why not end a good meal with chef’s recommendation of Lemon soufflé and or apple cinnamon pancake.
At Arthur’s theme every meal is set for the kings table.
Happy Reading!
