I still haven&#8217;t forgiven them for taking the Deconstructed Black Forest cake out of the menu, but that&#8217;s a small peeve.<\/p>\n<p>So when we learned that they had opened in Koramangala, we chose the earliest opportunity to check out the place. The place is massive, easily larger than the one on Whitefield. One problem though is that it is close to a garbage dump, and some parts of the building &#8211; lifts, loos &#8211; feel the stench. Thankfully, the dining area is spared this.\u00a0It is spread over two floors, and after some haggling, got ourselves a comfortable lounge seating on the top floor, which also hosts a dance floor! There&#8217;s a lot of greenery around &#8211; this is the third place I am seeing this! <a href=\"https:\/\/manuscrypts.com\/test\/2018\/11\/11\/hq\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">HQ<\/a> was the first, and from outside, the new Toscano in Whitefield looks the same!<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, I got myself a Bacon Old Fashioned, something I hadn&#8217;t seen since the magnificent one at <a href=\"https:\/\/manuscrypts.com\/test\/2016\/07\/10\/toast-tonic\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Toast &amp; Tonic<\/a>. The drink was quite good, and thanks to Zomato Gold, I got a 1+1.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-13630 size-full lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/manuscrypts.com\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/pjimage.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"400\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/manuscrypts.com\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/pjimage.jpg 800w, https:\/\/manuscrypts.com\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/pjimage-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/manuscrypts.com\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/pjimage-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/manuscrypts.com\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/pjimage-600x300.jpg 600w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 800px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 800\/400;\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The starters section offered quite a few choices. We chose a Bheja Fry, Lal Maas Tacos, and finally, a Methi Paneer Samosa for a friend who has gone rogue and become\u00a0 a vegetarian! The Bheja fry was served with bread and a tzatziki dip, and was quite tasty. But the Lal Maas was easily better, and the burnt garlic cream provided an excellent contrast in flavour. The samosas were flavourful too, thanks to the honey glaze and sesame, and also gave us a texture mix.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-13628 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/manuscrypts.com\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/pjimage-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/manuscrypts.com\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/pjimage-1.jpg 900w, https:\/\/manuscrypts.com\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/pjimage-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/manuscrypts.com\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/pjimage-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/manuscrypts.com\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/pjimage-1-600x400.jpg 600w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 800px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 800\/533;\" \/><\/p>\n<p>But all this, and a quick rundown of the desserts section meant that we had to skip mains. The Chocolate Kahlua Mousse and the Jaggery Mousse Cake made it well worth it! The first was served with marshmallows and KitKat and was delicious, though the base made it seem more like a cheesecake. The Jaggery Mousse cake had banana cake and coconut ice cream as well, and was polished off in a few minutes!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-13629 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/manuscrypts.com\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/pjimage-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"1013\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/manuscrypts.com\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/pjimage-2.jpg 800w, https:\/\/manuscrypts.com\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/pjimage-2-267x300.jpg 267w, https:\/\/manuscrypts.com\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/pjimage-2-768x864.jpg 768w, https:\/\/manuscrypts.com\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/pjimage-2-600x675.jpg 600w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/1013;\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The service is friendly enough, and the music had enough of a retro tinge to make us comfortable. The bill came to a little over Rs.3100, and that included a few other starters and drinks as well. For a Koramangala outlet, not a bad price at all. Overall, well worth a visit.<\/p>\n<p>Biergarten, 4th B Cross, 5th Block, Koramangala Ph: 49653208 (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/place\/Biergarten+Brewery+%26+Kitchen\/@12.9335993,77.6119731,17z\/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x3bae15bdaf3e756d:0xde7ea50b4c3c9a5!8m2!3d12.9335941!4d77.6141671\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">map<\/a>)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Biergarten in Whitefield has become a favourite over a period of time, and its Koramangala version did not disappoint.
