Nestled amidst the noisy streets of Ashok Nagar, the blue door at the entrance bridges you into a quaint Mediterranean escape. Fine wine, gourmet dishes and dimly lit old-fashion lanterns splattered against white walls make it nothing short of a romantic atmosphere in the heart of the city.

Another Asian diner, Tao Terraces gives you the feel of a walk across Thai Temples with cuisine hailing from nine oriental countries. Buddha Stupas, gold-leafed cielings, mammoth pillars and dark spaces make it a cozy dining spot.

Lively, fun and distant from quiet sit down meals, the Fatty Bao stands distinct in the gastropub blooming hub of the city – Indiranagar. Multi coloured décor, giant pandas as wall art and quirky concoctions breathe boisterous youthfulness into this rooftop. Scrumptious Asian bites amidst off-beat ambience turn it into anything but regular prissy dining.
Location: Indiranagar
9. 153 Biere Street

A destination much more than a mere restaurant, 153 Biere Street houses a microbrewery (The Biere Club), a restaurant (Mustard and Cress), a bakehouse (Everything Stops for T), retail shops (Tailorman, Design Studio etc), a floristry (Ohana flowers) and an open space for events (The Patio). The cobbled pathway and Victorian streetlamps stage the old-world charm of European streets inspired by the locals. Catching up with your partner over a leisurely stroll along such a backdrop may just turn magical!
