The Corinthians Resort & Club has announced the opening of Medora, a new Mediterranean-inspired restaurant at its Pune property. Positioned as a premium dining addition, Medora is spread across 3,000 sq.ft and offers a seating capacity of 102 covers. The restaurant is designed to cater to Pune’s growing demand for global cuisines while aligning with evolving urban dining preferences.
Medora is located within the resort’s landscaped setting and aims to offer an elevated dining experience away from the city’s commercial zones. The interiors are inspired by Mediterranean architecture, with lime-washed walls, natural textures, warm wood elements, curated lighting, and rounded structural forms. The layout includes a dedicated bar, live kitchen, and cold kitchen, supporting both experiential dining and operational efficiency.
The name Medora, derived from “Mediterranean Aura,” reflects the restaurant’s core positioning—focused on comfort-driven global dining rooted in traditional Mediterranean food cultures. The menu spans multiple regions including France, Italy, Turkey, Greece, Egypt, and Lebanon. Key offerings include Lebanese cold mezze with pita and falafel, Italian arancini with pesto and sundried tomatoes, Mediterranean salads such as Fattoush, Greek, and Caesar, and a grill selection featuring Turkish Shish Tawook, Rubian Hara, and Lamb Koftas. Italian ravioli and freshly prepared flatbreads are produced through the live kitchen setup. Desserts include Tiramisu, Coffee Chocolate Mousse, Pistachio Pull-Me-Up, Baklava Cheesecake, and Umali.
“Medora celebrates the warmth of Mediterranean coastlines and the beauty of simple, natural cooking,” shares the culinary team. “We drew inspiration from the sunlit fields and vibrant kitchens across France, Italy, Turkey, Greece, and Egypt to create a menu that’s rooted, soulful, and thoughtfully crafted.”
The beverage program includes region-inspired signature cocktails such as Tomatina, Enchanté, Ciao Bella, Opa, and Ti Amo, each developed to complement the restaurant’s food-led positioning and international flavour profile.
Noorbasha Shaikh, General Manager, The Corinthians Resort, said, “The pricing at Medora has been curated after extensive research into Pune’s evolving dining preferences, ensuring that refined Mediterranean flavours remain accessible while upholding a premium experience. By blending high-quality global ingredients with an understanding of local palate trends, Medora offers exceptional value designed for Pune’s well-travelled and discerning diners.”
With this launch, The Corinthians Resort & Club strengthens its food and beverage portfolio, targeting destination diners, resort guests, and Pune’s premium dining segment. Medora is positioned as a long-term hospitality asset focused on consistent quality, operational depth, and contemporary global dining relevance.
