Dino Morea And Brother Nicolo Plan a Chain of Cafes All Over India

Eat out of their hands: Dino and Nicolo Morea

New year, new eateries

Dino Morea and his brother Nicolo are planning a bar, café chains and kiosks at theatres in Mumbai. Their dream of having a chain of cafés all over India appears to be bearing fruit.

After opening Crepe Station franchises in Mumbai, Kolkata and Hyderabad, the Morea brothers are now all set to launch franchises in Delhi and Chandigarh next month.

Bar-baar dekho

But that's not all. They are also opening a bar in Bandra, next month. Though the place is almost complete, the project is being kept under wraps as the brothers have run into some snags regarding the licenses. The actor reveals, "We are in the process of opening a spacious and swanky bar off Linking Road in Bandra. It's in a good location, and will offer great ambience, good food and drinks. For people who want to relax, have good food and wine, and have a good time — well, this bar's the place. It's been built along the lines of the New York bars — a great place for singles to mingle." The brothers are in the process of finalising the name for their dream project.

Big plans

Though Dino doesn't want to discuss the license bit, he admits, "We wanted to open the bar during Christmas but have run into some snags which we are in the process of sorting out. Once that has been done, we will open the bar in a month's time."

That's not all the Morea brothers are doing. Adds Dino, "Our dream of making a chain of cafés is coming true. And now we plan to have a central Crepe Station kitchen which will provide for Crepe Station kiosks at theatres in Mumbai."
