Farro in Pune offers bold, accessible dining experience

Farro is a new restaurant in Pune's Koregaon Park, offering a casual yet refined dining experience. The restaurant, open only for dinner, is a collaboration between Chef Vardaan Marwah and Sip & Savour Co. It focuses on simple, bold flavors without excessive storytelling. The interior design blends heritage and a modern feel, featuring beige walls, curvy forms, and natural materials like teak wood and greenery. A standout wall showcases handmade clay cups and murals, creating a cozy atmosphere enhanced by a lo-fi jazz playlist. Chef Vardaan’s menu includes 40 dishes that balance traditional and innovative flavors. The thirty-layer truffle latke and keema pao, inspired by the chef's grandmother’s recipe, received particular praise, while the Mapusa Market prawn balchao felt less memorable. Pune's restaurant scene is booming, driven by a young, affluent population. The restaurant aims to deliver a fuss-free and flavorful dining experience, catering to local tastes. Farro’s cocktail menu offers eleven options, such as the spiced Crown Jewel and the refreshing Olive Branch. Desserts include a creamy pistachio tiramisu and an intense xocolatl chocolate dish. The restaurant aims to change how diners in Pune perceive elevated cuisine, promising a new experience with every meal. A dinner for two costs approximately ₹3,500 plus taxes.
