European Charm & Classic Cocktails, This New SoBo Cafe Is Perfect For Date Night

A new all-day diner, Canto Cafe and Bar has opened up in Opera House in Girgaum and is pulling out all the right stops, including its European aesthetics.

Canto Cafe and Bar is a casual all-day diner with a huge space and lovely decor. The cafe, owing to its wonderful location, sees a lot of natural light. It’s has a downstairs seating area, and also a tiny section upstairs. With chandeliers and grand, tall, arched windows, the cafe will transport you out of Mumbai and onto a European street. It, of course, helps that it’s located in old Bombay which adds to the cafe’s charm.

Since the cafe exudes a casual vibe, the menu boasts of a multi-cuisine set up. Though it definitely has a little indulgent pricing, the ravishing decor almost makes up for it. They have the typical Mumbai-esque dishes such as paneer bhurji, eggs Kejriwal to lamb meatballs, BBQ pineapple pizza {the jury is out on this one}, to banana wrapped fish {INR 440} and even a seekh kebab hot dog. Looking for baos? They have them too.

Moving on to the boozy side of things, they have a nice range of cocktails going on that include smoky tango {whiskey, vanilla, chocolate bitters}, melodies {gin, melon, cucumber, tonic}, rococo {vodka, coconut puree, pineapple, and raspberry foam} and espressivo {whisky, Bombay masala tea, cranberry, elderflower and lime}, and the cheery on the top, canto punch {vodka, fresh mint, fresh grape, peach syrup, lime and cherry brandy}. These cocktails range from INR 350 to INR 550 {excluding taxes}.

#LBBTip: They also a post 10pm bar nibbles for people who’re looking to munch whilst ordering in rounds of cocktails and more.

Got a nice Sunday brunch with your squad or excited about a brunch date? Canto can be your go-to place. The upstairs area is really intimate and sweet.
