Lovely place with healthy food offering in Bandra: Pali Village Café (2. December 2017)
The Pali Village Café is probably the closest to a real local Indian food experience I’ve had as I just didn’t dare to try the actual streetfood in the 40 hours I spent in Mumbai. I went for the “prawns in lemon coriander broth, chilly flakes” (445 INR) as a starter which were way better […]
Outstanding breakfast selection: Restaurant Seven Kitchens @ The St. Regis Mumbai (2. December 2017)
The breakfast selection at the Seven Kitchens in The St. Regis in Mumbai is definitely worth a visit! You can really find everything starting from when you walk in with a huge selection of desserts … … slowly moving over to fresh fruit … … a variety of bread and pastries … … a tea […]
The biggest disappointment in clubbing in a long time: XXO @ The St. Regis Mumbai (1. December 2017)
Disappointment of the year! The XXO is located on the 37th floor of the St. Regis and is, apparently, considered a very fancy and to be place. Frankly, I have no clue why. Okay, fair enough, the place looks nice if you look at the picture – but that’s really it. The selection of cocktails […]
A bit of a disappointment: Aer Bar @ Four Seasons Mumbai (1. December 2017)
While the Aer Bar at the Four Seasons Mumbai generally looks super promising, it was quite a disappointment. When I arrived the place was basically half empty. Or even more – something definitely unexpected. Additionally, it wasn’t really atmospheric as the furniture up there is all plastic and it just really isn’t that appealing. The […]
A great substitute for no executive lounge: Luna Bar @ The St. Regis Mumbai (1. December 2017)
While The St. Regis Mumbai doesn’t have an executive lounge, it offers a ‘happy hour’ from 6pm to 8pm. And while at first I was a bit disappointed, I was even more positively surprised after having been there. Besides the drinks, which includes alcoholic drinks, you can also a variety of complimentary dishes during happy […]
The perfect place for sundown: Dome @ The Intercontinental Mumbai (1. December 2017)
You can definitely say that enjoying the sundowner on the rooftop of the Intercontinental Mumbai isn’t really India. And it isn’t! But, it is still absolutely worth visiting, respectively to enjoy the sundowner there. The location offers you the perfect view over the bay. And the “Watermelon Bramble” (1’250 INR) is a great drink – […]
My first real Indian food – paneer tikka: Leopold Café (1. December 2017)
The Leopold Café is a ‘traditional’ café. Well, to be more precise, it is a place which was the location of a terrorist attack a couple of years back and is, therefore, apparently, quite famous. So, well, given I was only for 40 hours in India, I decided to pay it a visit and to […]
Afternoon tea with a view to the Gateway of India: Sea Lounge @ Taj Mahal Palace Hotel (1. December 2017)
When you’re close to the Gateway of India, you should definitely pay the Taj Mahal Palace a visit, or more specifically the Sea Lounge on the first floor. If you manage to get a seat by the window you have a nice view onto the Gateway plus the sea and all the boats which go […]
