Re: A Guide: Eating out in Mumbai Have recently been doing leisurely cycle rides on Sunday mornings with breakfast thrown in. We cycle for about an hour or a little more at decent speeds, have breakfast at some restaurants (ideally new places that we have never been to) and get back home before 10am. All of this is in the Chowpatty to Bandra area. Wanted to share a few spots that we have visited in the last few months:
1. Breve Cafe (Bandra): hole in the wall kind of cafe at the corner of Chapel Road. Food is great, portions are large, but the place itself seems a little run down. They also took quite a long time to serve, I don't know if that is always the case or because we were early birds. Does not have a washroom, which can be a bummer if you have been roaming for a while.
2. Mag St. Cafe (Lower Parel): open cafe with a nice ambience. Has a good range of breads and eggs. Relatively pricey and has something of a four-star hotel feel. Not for those who want to sit in a corner and have private conversations.
3. Cafe Noir (Lower Parel): small, relatively pricey outlet. Personally felt it was just average, nothing different or intriguing about the dishes.
4. Trofima (Dadar): This is a standard restaurant in the heart of Maharashtrian district in Dadar. Food is very reliable, prices are relatively reasonable, and the ambience is typical Mumbai casual dining. I am not sure if it's open for breakfast on all days or only weekends.
5. Plate & Pint (Warden Road): Discovered this place recently. Really enjoyed the breakfast we had here. Some of the dishes are mindblowing - last time we ordered waffles and quinoa poha and both were spectacular. Very courteous and accommodatig staff. Loved it.
Not mentioning the regular Udipi places here as they are all well known and, quite frankly, mostly undistinguishable from each other.
If anyone has breakfast suggestions in the Chowpatty to Bandra belt that we can evaluate, please share.
