FOO had already made its mark in Mumbai as a contemporary Pan-Asian dining destination with a strong cultural following.

Entering Bengaluru meant stepping into a market that was not just competitive, but constantly evolving. The objective wasn’t just to introduce a new restaurant. It was to make it instantly desirable.

We approached this as an arrival, and not an opening. The idea was to position FOO as the best destination for Asian dining and vibrant social experiences, bringing its food, cocktails, distinctive energy and people together to create experiences worth returning for.

The narrative began with the founders of Pebble Street Hospitality. By placing Ryan & Keenan Tham at the centre, we anchored the brand around credibility while giving the media a story that extended beyond the menu.

The launch itself was designed as a moment.

An invite-only evening brought together the city’s tastemakers, creators and lifestyle voices, immersing them in FOO’s signature style and setting the tone for how the brand would be experienced. The event translated directly into content – reels, stories and posts carried the energy beyond the space, creating immediate visibility across digital platforms. Momentum was sustained through post-launch media reviews and continued creator engagement across categories, from food to fashion ensuring the brand stayed at the front of mind beyond its opening week.

The result was strong recall and consistent footfall. With top-tier media features and sustained engagement across the first few months, FOO quickly became one of the city’s most talked-about restaurants.
