We have eaten our way through all the restaurants, cafes, bars, and breweries that Bangalore has to offer and after a lot of thought and debate, we decided we needed a list of restaurants that are in our words 'bankable.' No matter what, these spots serve up good food year round, along with an ambience that ranges from intimate date-night settings, to pub and grub vibes. In no particular order, here are 75 of Bangalore's most bankable restaurants, cafes, bars, and breweries we loved, dined at, and went back to this year. 

ParTTwo

ParTTwo with its old-Bangalore interiors, is where folks from all age groups are seen hanging and having a good time over shared conversations, plates of Chef Karan Upamanyu’s delicious food (the Potato Laab, Duck Rendang Bites, and Pork Floss Toast shouldn’t be missed) and rounds of those delightful cocktail concoctions. The menu is seasonally evolving, so you always have something new to look forward to, and let's be honest, new food offerings at a tried-and-tested place of your liking is music to ears, isn’t it?

What To Order: Potato Laab, Duck Rendang Bites and Pork Floss Toast

Price For Two: INR 2,000 (approx)

A new entrant in our list of ‘Places I can’t wait to make plans for again’ is Circa11. Done up in clean New York-inspired loft-like interiors with muted grey tones, the transformation from a leisurely brunch spot in the day to an ambient date location at night is truly shapeshifting. There’s no particular cuisine followed; it’s based purely on what Chef Pradyumna Harithsa, the chef-partner, is inspired by and the ingredients at hand. The wine list is extensive, and the cocktails menu is punchy.

Geist Brewing Co., OMR

This open-air beer garden (centred around a banyan tree) is the perfect spot for a Sunday brunch with the fam or a cosy space for date night on a weeknight (warm lights and all that).

Bob's Bar

The running joke is 'Can you get a table at Bob's on the weekend?' The reason why the space is packed seven days a week is due to the fact that it pretty much recreates old Bangalore's pub culture, small plates of local food and moderately priced alcohol. The vibe is super inclusive, with groups of friends catching up, couples on dates or coworkers relaxing after a long day.

Coracle

Coracle is giving Bangalore a taste of Kerala Syrian Christian, Mangalorean and Tamil Food. It’s food that feels like home yet surprises you left, right and centre. You start with the Kappa & Kandhari, a staple snack from Kerala served with a spicy bird's eye chilli chutney that makes you lose all self control. Then, you jump to Chicken Cutlets, Mutton Ularthiyathu, Prawn Fry, and Mutton Pallipalayam. The last one still visits us in our dreams (the hungry kind). Then you get the Appam and Prawn Mango Curry and man oh man, it hits so good! And in the end, you let things cool down with the Tender Coconut Pudding (yum).

The Bier Library

The Bier Library in Koramangala is one of our favourite spots to catch up with the gang over a few beers.

Malgudi Mylari Mane

The menu at Malgudi Mylari Mane is Karnataka-style naati (or local) food inspired by the Kaveri region. Meats take the centre stage here. The food is filling, not to be confused with being heavy, it’s home-styled food done really well. You start off with the fluffy Mylari dose, easy to chow down with the dollop of butter, coconut chutney and saagu it is served with. For the main act, drop the pretense and order a serving (or two) of the Chicken Pepper Fry, Mutton Chops, and Chicken Keema Goju. Additionally, head to their cosy setting for hogging on some mutton pulav with paya and curries early in the morning, not that’s what we call the breakfast of champions.

Backer & Charlie

Backer & Charlie is strictly for days when we are feeling over indulgent for our breakfast outings. It’s a German bakery and cafe that serves bread-y delights so good, it should be a crime. Those breads, pretzels, berliners and coffee (and that occasional hot chocolate) hold a dear place in our heart. Our solo date here starts with the Caprese-Insalata Focaccia sandwich, fresh and very delicious; then we move on to something sweet like the Nutella Pretzel that is heavenly with that sea salt on top. The coffee is fab, fresh and well-brewed and at times, we treat ourselves to some hot chocolate, rich and comforting.
