Stories in Flavour • Whole Grilled Fish
Inspired by the coastal traditions of Kerala in Southern India, our Whole Grilled Fish brings together vibrant regional flavours with our PUNCH interpretation.
Featuring New Zealand Madai, prized for its delicate white flesh, the fish is marinated in tamarind and miso before being grilled over charcoal for a beautifully smoky finish.
Served alongside Alleppey curry, a coconut-based preparation inspired by the coastal city of Alappuzha, layered with raw mango, chilli and coconut milk. Finished with black garlic oil for depth and bay leaf oil for a delicate floral note.
Discover it on our new Fall & Winter Menu. Reservations via the link in bio.

We are immensely proud to announce that PUNCH has been selected for the 2026 MICHELIN Guide Toronto, a remarkable milestone less than a year since opening our doors.
What began as a vision many years ago to bring the spirit of modern London, layered with Indian flavour, to Toronto, has been incredible to watch come to life. From family recipes passed down through generations, to their modern interpretations on our menu, every dish tells a story of heritage, creativity and the culinary traditions that inspire us.
This recognition is a testament to the vision of our ownership, the passion and creativity of our culinary team, led by Executive Chef @chefmandar and Chef de Cuisine @iammaneksingh , and the dedication of our front-of-house team, who bring PUNCH to life every day.
To our guests and community, thank you for embracing our vision, gathering around our tables and being part of our story from the very beginning. We are incredibly grateful to share this moment with everyone who has helped bring us here.
This is just the beginning. #PUNCH

Nous sommes fiers d’annoncer que PUNCH, le restaurant de l’Hôtel Le Germain Toronto, FAIT SON ENTRÉE AU GUIDE MICHELIN dans le Guide MICHELIN Toronto 2026, une reconnaissance remarquable moins d’un an après son ouverture.
PUNCH est né d’une vision imaginée il y a plusieurs années: faire découvrir à Toronto l’esprit du Londres moderne, rehaussé de saveurs indiennes. La voir prendre vie au fil des mois a été une expérience exceptionnelle. Des recettes familiales transmises de génération en génération aux interprétations contemporaines qui composent le menu, chaque plat raconte une histoire de traditions, de créativité et de patrimoine culinaire.
Cette reconnaissance témoigne de la vision de nos propriétaires, de la passion et de la créativité de notre équipe culinaire, menée par le chef exécutif Mandar Kulkarni et le chef de cuisine Manek Singh, sans oublier toute notre équipe en salle, qui fait vivre l’expérience PUNCH chaque jour.
Et ce n’est que le début. #PUNCH

Stories in Flavour • Across India, slow-cooked meats have long been at the heart of family gatherings and celebrations.
Our Grilled Short Rib begins with Canadian beef marinated in yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, and earthy Indian spices, then slow-cooked for over 24 hours. It’s finished over a charcoal grill and served with pickled ginger and a sauce made from its own braising liquid—a dish that brings together slow cooking and live-fire grilling in the style of PUNCH.

Stories in Flavour • Lamb Shank Biryani
A dish rooted in celebration and royal tradition, Lamb Shank Biryani traces its origins to the grand kitchens of the Mughal Empire, where Persian technique met Indian spice in lavish feasts built for royalty. Our version layers slow-braised lamb shank with fragrant basmati rice, allowing the marrow-rich flavour and warming spices to unfold through every spoonful. Tender, aromatic, and deeply comforting, it’s a dish designed to be shared, savoured, and remembered.
Available as a special this weekend at PUNCH.

Where flavour takes form • Step into the kitchen with Executive Chef Mandar Kulkarni as he prepares our Butter Chicken Pot Pie.
A makhani sauce layered with tomatoes, butter, cashews, cardamom, and Kasoori methi. Tandoori-marinated chicken grilled and folded into the sauce with potatoes, peas, and carrots before being finished beneath a golden, flaky crust.
A British comfort classic reimagined through Indian spice. A dish that reflects the very heart of PUNCH. #punch
