What A View: Enjoy The Monsoon At These Sea-Facing Restaurants In Mumbai

The lounge resides seaside at Novotel in Juhu. The view here is unmatched and you’ll often find couples soaking in the scenery while sipping on a glass of sangria here. You can gorge on dishes like gunpowder calamari (INR 550), three mustard chicken (INR 750), lamb kibbrh (INR 750) and more. Maybe, do the customary chai and pakoda session here?

Rendering a panoramic view of the sea, The Marina Upper Deck sits comfortably atop the Sea Palace hotel in Colaba. They serve cocktail samosas (INR 290), prawn wontons (INR 490), spicy lamb with pepper sauce (INR 500) and cocktails to go along with your food.

The Australian restaurant has been creating waves (literally) among foodies. It’s the only eatery that serves authentic Australian dishes on you plate, while you enjoy the seaside. Probably also the only eatery that serves kangaroo (INR 1,600).

If you want to go all fancy, head to The Taj Mahal Palace’s Sea Lounge. Sip on coffee, along with scones, turkey sandwich, chaat and potato wedges. Feel all British while you take a break from life.

A rather humble one in Juhu, they have meal combos for INR 450. Their tables are laid out on the patio, from where you can admire the sea in all its glory.

The old favourite that has reopened after years, Razzberry is the hub of gigs and fine food. You can catch artists performing here on weekends. Their signature cocktails come at INR 600. Also, how about a beachside brekkie here?

Located on the terrace of a hotel facing the sea in the line of Taj Mahal Hotel at Gateway of India, Bayview Cafe is the perfect place to grab a chilled albeit cheap evening beer while munching on yummy snacks.

Anyone who needs a mildly secluded place to relax and take in the wind and sea, would be happy to chill at Bayview. It’s an extremely budget-friendly rooftop joint, where you can go with your buds to grab a few beers or wine while enjoying the beautiful sea view.

The vibe here is very casual and the sea view is obviously the highlight. The service is quick since it’s a pretty tiny place, so if you’re getting to know someone new, and want to take them someplace low-key so you can have a conversation over beer, then Bayview is the place.

Go here to drinks chilled beers, eat light snacks and enjoy a beautiful sea view.

AER is on the 34th floor of Four Seasons hotel, and has a gorgeous view of Mumbai. They play great lounge music that is loud enough to groove to but soft enough to be able to hold a conversation over without having to yell, ‘what?’ multiple times. 

If you're confused about what to wear, the dress code here is smart casuals, and men, we'd advise you to wear full pants and closed shoes. Ladies, keep it smart and keep it stylish. With a view like the one AER's offers, you can sip on some drinks and watch the sunset. Since this is a lounge and not strictly a club, there is no entry charge. It is getting a table on a busy Friday and Saturday night that’s requires a cosmic interplay of luck and more luck, so we recommend booking in advance.
