Reviews of Pizza joints in this city would be incomplete without Pizza Hut and hence this write-up. Given the huge number of branches in the city I doubt there is a single one of you out there who haven’t eaten at or ordered from this restaurant at some point.
When it first opened in Bangalore it was the buzz of the town but over the years it has lost its sheen. Chances are this has more to do with my exposure to new and better pizza’s.
This is my second review of Boca Grande, while the first covered the traditional menu this one covers the Buffet they have on the weekends.
I’ve always liked digging into a sumptuous breakfast over the weekend and while Bangalore does have a wide range of places you can do that at there are few that serve the good old fashioned continental breakfast at a reasonable price.
The Breakfast buffet is served only on the weekends between 9:30 and 12:00. The place does get a little full on Sunday if you get there late but it does make for a nice way to begin your day.
I decided, after a long time, that i would revisit the 100ft Boutique restaurant in Indiranagar. I have very fond memories of the place ( yes i know, that statement does make the restaurant sound a 100 years old… not to mention me as well ) and decided it would be a safe bet for a dinner.
A friend had told me about their Wednesday night Mediterranean special which at 540 rupees seemed reasonable enough and so i decided to check it out., and that as they say is where the nightmare began.
When i started this Blog a few days ago i did have a particular restaurant in mind that i wanted to review. It just so happens i didn’t have pictures of the place and so my first post ended up being Vicky’s La Terrazza.
So let’s dig in shall we?
I was told about this place a while ago by a friend who has been trying to drag me there ever since she “sampled” the chocolate deserts.
The Experience:
The restaurant is rather good, I was there when there wasn’t too much a of a crowd so the service was spot on. The food was excellent and the pricing good. I would definitely recommend this restaurant if you are looking for a value for money experience in Koramanagala.
I would recommend you try the chicken with Basil rice, this is something that i quite enjoyed. It came with a white sauce and sundried tomatoes ( oh how i love them!! ) and some salad ( fresh and crunchy just the way i like it ). Their sauces are delicious and the portions just right.
The Greek Fish was rather nice as well , as i happened to nick some ( read most ) of my friends plate. Again with a side of pasta, cooked just right, and on a bed of potatoes. The Fish was served in two pieces sandwiched between olives. The only thing i would have recommended would be some nuts to give it a nice crunchy texture.
While i am not a desert person ( yes i know half of you reading this will be wincing in pain right now ) i did really enjoy their ganache tart and semi freddo. Definitely some of the best deserts i’ve had, and at under a 100 rupees quite a steal.
The Semi freddo has some really interesting textures, its creamy and light with chocolate bits that give it a really nice crunchy-ness ( is that a word? )
The ganache tart is great as well, the biscuit base is a little salty so you don’t get overwhelmed with the sweetness as with most deserts and the chocolate is well chocolate!!
All in all, a place that i think you should definitely check out when you get the chance.
Gripes:
The only real issue i had with the restaurant was the fact that their garlic bread was sweet ( yes i know, good heavens!! ) and the fact that they didn’t have a cocktail menu.
