PC Hospitality is delighted to announce that its distinguished restaurant concept, “Dumpukht by Pearl Continental,” has been honored with the Best Mughlai Cuisine Restaurant Brand Award at the prestigious Annual Culinary Awards. The recognition celebrates the brand’s enduring commitment to authentic flavors, traditional cooking techniques, and its rich, heritage-driven culinary identity.
Mr. Bastien Blanc, CEO of PC Hospitality, added his remarks on the achievement: “We are welcoming the recognition of Dumpukht by Pearl Continental, which validates our commitment to bringing diverse and exceptional culinary experiences through our restaurant division, The Connoisseur Collection. With close to 60 restaurants in operation and a pipeline leading to over 80 by the end of 2026, we look forward to developing many locations over the coming years, starting with this award-winning brand.”
Dumpukht, which is part of the Connoisseur Collection by Pearl Continental, has been consistently delighting guests with amazing flavors for over 30 years, operating at two key locations in Lahore: Pearl Continental Hotel Lahore and DHA Raya.
Building on this continuous success and recent award, PC Hospitality is entering a new phase of growth through an asset light model. The group has entered a master franchise agreement with Global Business Bridge to support a long-term expansion strategy, with planned development across Pakistan and Saudi Arabia. This partnership aims to strengthen the brand’s presence both locally and internationally, bringing the celebrated Mughlai cuisine to new markets.
