Lovely joint right at the street with views of the Limmat river. It has both indoor and outdoor seating and a very cosy comforting vibe and decor.
Everything is good from the nibbles to the coffees to the drinks. They have chips, hummus-pita and cheese nachos on their menu for the nibbles.
We ordered 3 cocktails, a beer and nachos. The nachos were perfectly baked, full of black beans, salsa and cheese and appetising. Cocktails were well made (had a tequila base, an Aperol base (named airplane) and negroni , and all drinks including beer were fresh.
They don’t take reservations and mostly seem full but have enough seating and moving tables.
One warning though for anyone afraid of bees, take the outdoor seating as quite some bees fly around inside but let the bee be!

Absolutely amazing restaurant of the 5-star hotel in Bellagio. You can visit even if not staying at the hotel, and reservation advisable for a dinner.
The service is exquisite, food delicious but indeed and expectedly steep on prices. An average dish costs EUR20-25, while a beer costs EUR9.
The menu is limited with few options but a one of each and surely you can find a dish to your liking.
The views are lovely, the restaurant has both indoor (air conditioned) and outdoor seating, besides the hotel swimming pool overlooking the lake Como and beautiful hills that capture the beauty of Bellagio. You may prefer indoor to be away from the hustle bustle of the pool if here for a lunch/early dinner.
We ordered the draught beer which was nice and refreshingly good, ravioli dish and riso jasmine with edamame, lentils (sort of a poke bowl). We ended with an espresso.

Quiet, peaceful restaurant serving good food with a lovely service.
Spacious, Chinese lights set up the decor with the lovely aroma of indo-Chinese food filling up the space. Menu has a wide variety of both vegetarian and non-vegetarian options as well as sushi. We had chicken dumplings in chili oil which were average, prawns in chili and black bean sauce and firecracker rice which was quite good, just would have liked bit more gravy in the prawns.
Good selection of drinks, cocktails and mocktails as well though this time we did not opt for any.
The food is nice, and while I did not find anything extravagant but delicious. The staff is knowledgable and warm and can help decide best things to pick.

A small but a vibrant, buzzing joint in the heart of Bandra. The decor is inviting and classy, with 2 seating areas, each with a different vibe. The bar area has louder music, and electrifying with its mood and decor and is for dancing or giving with the music while the second area is high ceiling, more open and has an outdoor feel with some peppy background music but allows conversations.

Would recommend booking a table in the area to your liking as the place is quite popular and nearly always full and crammed. The food and drinks are quite good.
I particularly like their Negroni and margherita pizza.

It is my favourite rooftop sea view restaurant. Open air so best on a cool, windy day and given its location (right by Marine Drive), you would find plenty of such days.
Unsurprisingly, it’s is bit pricey, 5k cover charge covering about 4 drinks just about.
The vibe, the drinks, the sitting, the music and the pleasant service though make it worthwhile. I recommend going here around 6pm, to enjoy the best views and a good time. If you are lucky to get a seat right by the edge great, but good views across with high tables in the back so every seat is a good view seat so I would not worry too much.
A good selection of cocktails, and all are well made so up to personal preferences but I enjoy their Aperol, Classic Negroni and Elderflower gin.
