Ever heard of ‘eating with your five senses’? Eating is not just about satiating your hunger
pangs, but an elaborate affair where your senses aid you. A good ‘feel’ is one of the most
important prerequisites to a good dining-out experience. This includes the appearance of the
table linens, the interiors, the music, and much more. Further, people nowadays do not want
just good food, but an experience.
Here, we look at various food spaces in the city, (in no particular order), that don't just serve
good food, but also boast of wonderful interiors.
Soho St.
Save

The restaurant is inspired by the famous Soho St of London, and the decor reflects the same.
The ambiance is warm, and the interior is tasteful, with the usage of brick walls, interesting
memorabilia, and graphics.
What we loved: It's international feel. Seems like you could be sitting in any big city anywhere
in the world.

This place is an experiment of sorts – to create a relaxed, casual space where affordable Asian
cuisine and awe-inspiring décor come together. The interiors are inspired from Manga (a
comic created extensively in Japan) which is eye-catching, colourful, and full of energy.
What we loved: How dark shades mix to make a visually appealing space and of course their
wall art.

Watson’s
Save
Image credit: Watson’s
People talk about the beer and the food here, but we think it is time to start talking about the
space, too. The eatery is reasonably big, and the pub is separated into an alfresco space
(overlooking the Ulsoor lake) and a closed one. A low seating arrangement and a British-
looking interior make Watson’s a go-to place during weekends.
What we loved: The bright space and an all English atmosphere.
What you should try: The appetisers.

Location: Assaye road, Ulsoor.
Mandrake
Save
Image credit: Mandrake
Located on the busy by-lanes of St. Marks Road, this gastro-pub is known for its wonderful
Sunday brunch. The bar is located at the center of the room, quirky posters adding to its
appeal. Funk and retro music playing in the background, great food, a live grill, wood-fired
pizzas, and a wide selection of spirits and cocktails - what more do you need from an eatery?
Take your pick from the alfresco or indoor dining area.

times in the day.
What we loved: The use of colors in the most unique setting. A mix informal furniture,
interesting lamp shades and colorful walls.

When we stepped in this spot for the first time, we were reminded of an English pub. Every
little item here is placed at the right spot, and every little space is perfectly made use of. And

that - the owner says so! The décor here is top-notch, but what is worth talking about is the
music.

niche of their own. What we loved about the interiors here is the fact that the seating

study/lounge area-kind of air. The fact that you can choose between an open-air seating and a
cosy atmosphere inside is nice.

In the pub world, this is what one would call 'cool'. Natural sunlight filters in though large
circular windows set up high on the wall, and the vibrant blues and yellows on the chairs gives
this space character. The space is irreverent, creative, and yet comfortable enough to sprawl
across a booth. Monkey Bar is a visual treat, that's for sure.
Further, the space spreads over two floors, giving one a sense of openness, allowing you to
enjoy the vibe at both levels. Creative graffiti dominates the bar area, while the retro posters
pop across the whole of the exposed walls.

look out for.

illustrations and knick-knacks on the walls add to the comfy feel of the eatery. Another aspect
that makes this place a must-visit one is the fact that it is not brightly lit. The grey walls make it
all the more appealing.

What you should try: The cocktails!
100 FT Boutique Bar Restaurant

Save
Image credit: 100 FT Boutique Bar Restaurant

you want something upbeat, but not too much of it, then this is the spot for you. We love the
Mediterranean feel of the restaurant, the way the light peeks through the roof, and how the
place doesn’t follow the usual ‘chair and table’ concept. Further, the doodles on the walls make
the space look visually enriching.

sections and is accompanied by bright-coloured interiors and lights.

Save
Image credit: Puma Social Club
The best alfresco area we have seen so far, maybe it’s because of the green cushions that good
well, with the space that looks like a canopy. Further, the insides are as chic as the outsides
too. One of the bar area is near the stairs, while the other is in the main space. This one feels
like a dream come true.
What we loved: The attitude, the open space.
Indigo Live Music Bar

Save
Image credit: Indigo Live Music Bar
If you are thinking doodles and pop art, this one wins hands down. Indigo Live Bar is not a
pub/grub place it’s an experience. Well why not, when you have international artists like Ben
Allen and Sickboy doing up the space in and around the bar and the seating area it is a steal.
Everything here is worth checking out – right from the stage light arrangements to the private
lounging, to the alfresco area, even the restrooms! Everything here cries out pop art… lungs

When you have a décor so subtly eye-catching, how can we miss this one? We love the

experience they have a private section too.

Location: Kalyan Nagar.
Mangrove
Save

feel to the space. The walls and the window are contrasting too.

you can lounge with your friends. They have a closed space too.
What we loved: The open-air space gives the feeling of a long endless evening.
What you should try: Their craft beers.
Village
Save
Image credit: Village
The place has a feel of a village during a festival season. More so, we were mildly reminded of
the set of Sholay. The colourful setting and the pictures of Bollywood personalities give out a
dhaba sort of a feel. The figurines, the tree and the jail décor (near the kitchen) play with your
imagination.
What we loved: The old Bollywood charm, the Indian rustic village comes alive.
