Indian Craft Brewery is psychologically closer to the airport than home, so it made sense that we dropped in there for dinner on our way back from a vacation.
As with most breweries, the place is huge, and the high ceilings add to the effect. I thankfully missed the mandatory artificial water body, but it does exist.
New brewery in the neighbourHoodi village meant that at some point we had to visit – ABV – Artisanal Bier Village. It was delayed because for some reason, I thought it was just The Pallet rebranded. As with every other microbrewery, this one too is expansive, with multiple floors and the mandatory large television screens. We sat on what was like a mini terrace on the first floor.
Andrea’s Brasserie happened because sometime in August we figured that Bangalore was done with the rains and we could safely visit Phoenix Mall of Asia without carrying swimming trunks. There are quite a few other options there, but many of them were also present in our suburb Phoenix, and we weren’t in the mood for Asian. (though my nieces had Bubble Tea and Korean snacks to prepare their appetites!)
The place is fairly compact, but I liked what they did with it – the peppiness of the decor and the comfortable seating made it seem more expansive than it was. We chose a cosy, corner.
Maya was our well deserved peaceful lunch after we finished the rituals at VFS for a Poland visa. It was also the end of our 2D/1N staycation in July in Jayanagar, which we had undertaken because we didn’t want to wake up early for the visa appointment. 😀
D somehow found Maya, though (at that point) neither Zom nor Swi had deemed it fit to show it to either of us in their listing.
Maya manages to pack in elegance and earthiness. Between the distinct taste graph in the furniture and decor elements and the curated greenery around, one finds a contemporary meets colonial-tropical retreat in the busy lanes of Jayanagar. The first floor verandah is the place to be.
