Bobby Aggarwal Explores Urban Poetics in Denscity Series
Atelier Bobby Aggarwal introduces its third limited edition collection, Denscity – There's a Moon Hanging on My City, a sculptural homage to the layered complexity of Indian urban life. The collection draws from the quiet rhythm within the chaos of cities like Bombay and Calcutta, where dense architectural sprawl meets timeworn elegance. Crafted from found waste wood, black-and-white leather, and brass, the collection uses contrast to evoke drama and stillness. The works—such as the LaLuna coffee table and Walkeshwar Tower cabinet—mirror winding streets, asymmetrical skylines, and the poetic irregularities often seen in Pichwai paintings. Aggarwal reflects on the enduring character of cityscapes that evolve organically: 'There's a quiet nobility in how these spaces endure change—small villages and historic cities alike,' he says. The moon in the collection's title symbolizes serenity amidst visual overload, suggesting an underlying order in urban disarray. Denscity is both a tribute and a critique—a thoughtful interpretation of the imperfect yet intentional forms that shape our lived environments. Its pieces invite a deeper appreciation of urban beauty: chaotic, whimsical, and quietly composed. 'There's a quiet nobility in how these spaces evolve…' – Bobby Aggarwal

8 Best Hotels in Munich, Germany
Best for: Families Nearby attractions: Marienplatz, Maximiliansplatz, Residenz München Starting rate: Doubles from $454 Yes, a family-run luxury hotel still operates in Munich. The Volkhardt family has owned the Bayerischer Hof since 1897, and hotel manager Innegrit Volkhardt is part of the fourth generation to run the hotel. Responsible for cultivating the Bayerischer Hof as a little world of its own in the middle of Munich, she both continues the hotel's venerable legacy while making sure that the property keeps up with the times. To that end, Volkhardt keeps in constant contact with guests and regularly makes her way through the hotel to personally check that everyone is satisfied. What makes this hotel so special and interesting for families is its wide range of experiences it offers. An entertainment highlight at the Bayerischer Hof is the hotel's mini cinema that can accommodate a few dozen guests on its comfortable lounge sofas. Throughout the year, various live comedy shows perform in the theater. The wellness and fitness area at the Bayerischer Hof extends over four floors. The 50-foot-long indoor pool is particularly popular and, in good weather, turns into an outdoor pool. Created by interior designer Axel Vervoordt, the Garden restaurant is one of the best in the city, while the Atelier, with its two Michelin stars, is one of the best in all of Germany. Those looking for an after-dinner drink have a choice of five bars, with the rooftop Polar Bar joining the line-up each winter.

Four Ottawa restaurants crack 2025 Canada's 100 Best list
Four Ottawa restaurants made it onto the highly regarded 2025 Canada's 100 Best Restaurants list released on May 5, down from six in 2024. Article content Article content Top-rated among the local selection is Atelier, chef-owner Marc Lepine's sophisticated tasting-menu destination on Rochester Street. It ranks 41st now, up from 43rd last year. Article content Also returning to the list is the Centretown fine-food-and-wine haunt Arlo on Somerset Street, which rose to 49th from 71st last year. Article content Article content Perch, chef-owner Justin Champagne-Lagarde's intimate tasting menu restaurant on Preston Street, is back on the list, ranking 95th, after being absent last year. Perch was 85th on the 2023 Canada's 100 Best list. That year, eight Ottawa restaurants made the list. Article content Dropping off the list this year were North & Navy on Nepean Street, which ranked in the mid-90s in 2023 and 2024, Supply and Demand on Wellington Street West, which was 75th last year and 63rd the year before, and Buvette Daphnée on William Street, which ranked 97th in 2024. Article content Article content Between them, Toronto (29 restaurants) and Montreal (24) were home to more than half of the list's restaurants. Vancouver had 14 restaurants while Calgary had five, Winnipeg had three, and Halifax and Quebec City each had two. Article content Topping this year's list was Restaurant Pearl Morissette in Jordan Station, Ont. Last year's top restaurant, Montreal's Mon Lapin, came in second this year. Alo, Edulis and 20 Victoria, all in Toronto, were respectively third, fourth and fifth this year. Article content Article content The list was generated from ballots submitted by 177 Canadian culinary experts, including chefs, sommeliers, restaurant owners, bartenders and food enthusiasts. As in past years, this writer was among them. The 2025 judging panel was the largest one assembled for the list, which debuted in 2015. Article content Article content Asked about Riviera dropping 60 places, Richler said: 'Everybody would rather be 28 than 88 for sure. I used to hear about it all the time when it opened, and people get accustomed to it. Article content 'People love shiny new things… It's kind of inevitable that restaurants fade in support,' said Richler. Article content He added that among the list's bottom 20 restaurants, and even among the next 30 or so restaurants that did not make the list, there were great places to eat. Article content In past years, a challenge for the list has been to assemble a panel of judges that properly and proportionately reflects the dining scenes and populations of Canadian cities and regions. But Richler said that this year, the list's algorithm had been tweaked to compensate, if needed, for a region or city being underrepresented in terms of its judges.
