India\u2019s commercial and cultural capital, Mumbai, has long been a culinary haven. The debate about where the best Vada Pao can be found, numerous Khao Galis, and the overall street food tradition have captured the popular imagination around the city\u2019s food culture. But the city also offers a variety of fine dining experiences characterized by distinct cuisines, from continental and international to modern Indian, and immaculate luxury, with a selection of premium wines and exotic ingredients. Following is a list of five of Mumbai\u2019s ritzy restaurants that will surely leave you opulently satiated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some say the Table is among Mumbai\u2019s biggest culinary successes. Located in Colaba and known for its simple but extensive selection of global food, it was one of the continent\u2019s 500 best restaurants in 2013, as per Miele Guide. American chef Alex Sanchez has taken inspiration from all over the world: the Americas, Europe, and all of Asia.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Go for:<\/strong> The place\u2019s sophisticated appeal. The black-and-white chevron flooring with wooden interiors can offer both a jazzy atmosphere when out on a special occasion, as well as low-key but classy brunch vibes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Don\u2019t miss: <\/strong>their European courses. The zucchini spaghetti with almonds and parmesan, burrata ravioli with farm basil pesto, and asparagus risotto are all-time favourites.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Estella has an upscale and posh vibe from the word \u201cgo\u201d. Lying on the Juhu Tara Road, the cuisine is thoroughly global; Australian, Asian, and American too. The restaurant\u2019s open dining area captures the beauty of the Arabian Sea magnificently, and the indoor seating is urbane too.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Go for: <\/strong>The best views of Mumbai\u2019s surreal seaside views. If a romantic dinner date is on your mind, this place can undoubtedly be your best bet to impress your sweetheart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Don\u2019t miss:<\/strong> Their wide and exquisite range of cocktails. As a beach bar, Estella offers a drinks menu that includes all-time classics along with seasonal varietals, in-house specialities, and never-heard-before cocktails.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here\u2019s another plush lounge with spectacular views \u2013 the Aer is on the rooftop of Four Seasons Hotel, Worli, and impresses its guests with a towering landscape view of the city that never sleeps. The Hotel also houses San-Qi, which is another fine-dining restaurant offering pan-Asian cuisines. Atop the 34th<\/sup> floor, Aer is Mumbai\u2019s highest rooftop bar and uber-luxe, with minimalistic d\u00e9cor and a sophisticated environment altogether.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Go for<\/strong>: Its selection of innovative cocktails, premier wines, and lip-smacking bar snacks. What\u2019s more, teetotallers are in for a treat too; their non-alcoholic range is long, a happy aberration from the convention.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Don\u2019t miss<\/strong>: Attending a special event at the Aer. Lively music pairs greatly with the breath-taking views and if you make it in time to catch the sunset, you\u2019re in for a visual delight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While the other restaurants in this list are known for serving delectable continental and international fares, Tr\u00e8sind makes its mark in indelible ink, with its modern take on Indian cuisine. The restaurant is a flagship of Passion F&B, Dubai, and has outlets in Dubai and Kuwait in addition to Bandra-Kurla Complex, Mumbai, which is the company\u2019s latest outing. Chef Himanshu Saini and mixologist Sherine John have respectively curated the food and drinks menus.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Go for<\/strong>: The restaurant\u2019s progressive Indian menu, when coupled with gueridon service, offers a fine experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Don\u2019t miss<\/strong>: The highlight of the menu is the Khichdi of India. It is a modern take on the national comfort food, a simple yet soulful preparation of rice and lentil dish using various ingredients from the different states of India. The dish is then served in a rather unique style. The serving bowls are placed on a map of India, based on the region they come from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If Mediterranean-Arabian food is your idea of a sumptuous meal, head over to Bayroute. The chain has five outlets across Mumbai, but Cuffe Parade is where one can find its most premium experience. The interiors are splendid; you\u2019ll love the earthy, rustic, and appealingly Persian setting, with shamianas, decorative mirrors, and wooden furniture. The banyan tree in their courtyard adds greatly to the charm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Go for<\/strong>: Their eclectic menu. There\u2019s authentic cuisine from all of Middle-East Asia \u2013 Lebanon, Greece, Morocco, Turkey, and Egypt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Don\u2019t miss<\/strong>: The classic selection of desserts. Their baklava, K\u2019nafi Jibneh (a Lebanese pastry), and Lotus Drama (a kind of cheesecake) will please your sweet tooth to your heart\u2019s content.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" India\u2019s commercial and cultural capital, Mumbai, has long been a culinary haven.
