Remember Cornucopia<\/a> in Richmond Town. (map<\/a>) Its now got a new owner and a new name – Under the Mango Tree<\/a>. The set up has been modified ever so slightly, the mango tree remains, and the erstwhile elaborate menu<\/a> changed completely, though it still serves Continental and Italian. Here’s the new menu. Meanwhile, this time, my company consisted of Gautam<\/a>, Radha<\/a>, Karthik<\/a> and Prmod<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I started with a Cream of \"\"<\/a>Mushroom and Leek soup, which turned out to be the best among its kind. Karthik’s Cold Melon soup was a bit of a disaster, and Gautam had still not come to terms with the existence of a vegetarian French Onion soup. The Goan sausages made a pretty decent starter.\u00a0 The Pita and Hummus were only just ok.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The \u2018King Size sausages\u2019 was what I chose for the main course, and again got lucky, because it was quite a good dish, with its caramelised onion sauce. Prmod’s Veg Lasagna also turned out to be tasty enough. The Sea Bass was quite a disappointment\u00a0 – Karthik was sure it was mackerel, and both the Pepperoni as well as the Mozzarella \u2013 Hot Pepper pizzas one were only average.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>On to desserts. The Chocolate Mousse is not something a chocoholic ever complains about, but this one could\u2019ve been better. The Mango mousse cake tried to be the saviour and just about managed to succeed despite some essence extravagance. The chocolate mousse with caramelised banana could’ve been a winner if the mousse had been allowed to be strong enough, it would have worked well with the banana, I thought.<\/p>\n

In essence, some hard work needs to go into the place. The aam<\/em>biance is pleasant enough, and the owner, Nirmala, helps with the order as well as some amount of customisation. Cost for two people would be about Rs.1000, which would get you a couple of soups, a starter, main course dishes and a dessert. So, drop in, if you’re in the neighbourhood, and give it a shot.<\/p>\n
