The Lovefools

Stumbled upon this place in bandra searching for breakfast options nearby and was pleasantly surprised by the lovely ambience of the place. We had the Umami bun, goan cafreal (egg), cappuccino and espresso. Highly recommend the cafreal dish. It was absolutely savory. The umami dish my bro didn't enjoy as much. Although on the pricier side I would like to recommend this place as it makes a really cute hangout/ date spot. Definitely makes it to one of those best hidden places of bandra

In the meandering by lanes of Bandra West one needs to search through the village to find (oh what a find) an ancestral Portuguese styled restaurant. It's heart may be Ranwar, but soul rest within the Mediterranean. The Gambas and The Diablo were excellent. The ambience to the place is rustic yet exotic. Music serenades you in the background whilst you have a set of private conversations with your close ones. A charming find. Ready to be explored. Thanks to Raj, Morgan and all the staff for making it a memorable evening.

Nice quaint bungalow converted into a cafe. You can try their savoury menu which has tapas and other stuff, or their croissants and pinwheels. Loved the vibes of the place. It was quite peaceful when I visited here for breakfast. The staff was courteous too. They have an outdoor sitting space as well. The cafe is quite aesthetic and gives some good vibes. Don't miss their pinwheels.

This was one of the best food experiences in Bandra, it's literally a hidden gem. I had heard reservations are quite difficult to get but luckily I got it easily. I tried the Japanese pull-apart bread and it was just mouth melting, next I got Malabar prawns with poi and the taste was exquisite, my mouth still waters while writing this review xd. I got Thai chaat with calamari next and that was a taste bomb with nuts and green chutney kind of a gravy. I got the umami twist next and I can't describe how heavenly it tasted, next I had Gambas Al Ajillo prawns, I thought it would be spicy but it wasn't and very high on taste. I had the berry cooler for drinks and a gin based cocktail. All in all it was a super duper experience and I'd visit this place everytime I'm in Mumbai.

One of the most instagramed cafés in Bandra, Mumbai. This cafe is nestled in one of the old goan villages in Bandra. You have to walk through the tiny lanes of Rawar Village of Bandra, which is so much in the contrast to the bustling Hill road. All you have to get in to one of the by lanes of Hill Road and walk to 3 mins. There are cute signs that would help you get there (see video). The vibe here is so cozy, just home like. Sink into one of the comfy sofa chairs. Order some amazing coffee and of course, a croissant. The viral pinwheel croissant is to die for. But not only that, they have a variety of sweet and savoury croissants. Mind you, they are heavy on the stomach too. You might not be able to eat more than one. The high ceiling, the colourful glass panel windows, the pretty lawn, and the entire old world charm of this is place will ensure that you will come back again and again, just like I do!

This place is located in the inner streets of Bandra! This is a bungalow converted into a cafe! How to reach: This is tricky honestly! There were guiding arrows but there wasn’t one at one corner and if there wasn’t a guy nearby who told us about it we wouldn’t have reached! Even outside the place there isn’t a board and we had to ask the neighbors for the same! Food: We tried the pinwheel croissant in chocolate flavour and dark chocolate with orange danish! These desserts are the reason for the rating! The croissant had a bread like interior with slightly flaky outside and it had too much salt and maybe even garlic that it was too confusing to eat. The danish was straight out dough and too heavy! We actually ended up throwing it as it was too doughy and not tasty enough! The croissant was ₹400++ and the danish ₹350++ and hence felt not worth the money Ambience: The place once you enter is lovely! It’s quite spacious and well decorated! Would definitely visit for savoury items and see whether this actually lives up to the hype! PS: The pinwheel croissant is too hyped up!
