August Cafe, place

August Cafe is a cosy neighbourhood cafe in which area serving comfort and healthy food. Armed with the Diplôme de Pâtisserie from the prestigious Le Cordon Bleu Paris, Chef Ruhi Gupta has designed an elaborate menu centred around taste, comfort, and health to ensure something delicious for all taste buds. The café and patisserie offers a signature all-day brunch menu and also serves an array of dishes from the Asian, Mexican, and Italian cuisines as well as  fresh salads, healthy pizzettes, avocado toasts, and decadent but guilt-free desserts. We recommend trying the gluten-free Chocolate Amaranth Porridge Bowl, gluten-free Chocolate Gooey Cake made with almond flour and dark chocolate, the freshly-baked warm Chocolate Truffle Cookies, and the hazelnut latte. 

Bombay Cartel, Juhu

South Bombay’s much-loved resto-bar The Bombay Cartel (TBC) has opened an outpost in Juhu. Spread over two levels, the rooftop restaurant offers breathtaking views of the cityscape served with sea breezes to bring you to a state of calm, within architect Summesh Menon’s spacious interiors that reflect his quintessential style. TBC is known for its menu of small plates, large plates, soul food, drinks and craft cocktails, using local, seasonal produce to make world-class vegetarian food that suits the Indian palate palette. We recommend trying the Chilli Garlic Wontons, Burrata Pizza. Chole Kulche, and the decadent Smores Sandwich. 

Olive Bar & Kitchen, Bandra
Providing a welcome contrast to the grittiness of Mumbai, Olive Bar & Kitchen, with its clean, whitewashed walls, pebbled pathways, and sun-dappled courtyard, is a refreshing breath of cool air. Ever since its inception, the venue has been a trendsetter in the hospitality industry, offering diners fresh, local ingredients skilfully cooked in a global style. Global influences complement the freshest local ingredients, and the dishes are light, bright, and packed with flavour. We suggest you try the Pickled Apricot Salad, Crisp Halloumi Rolls, Spicy Rigatoni, and the rich and creamy Olive Tiramisu.
