Hopshaus Taproom & Kitchen is one of the newest re

Hopshaus Taproom & Kitchen is one of the newest restaurants in Indiranagar from Embassy Leisure. Just like the cheery interiors, Chef Vikas Seth and his team have a food menu that features international as well as local Indian delicacies with a contemporary touch. Each dish has been carefully handpicked by Chef Seth from his culinary travels across the world. The menu pays as much attention to the sourcing of local ingredients as the preparation of slow-cooked food. Presented in small plates and shared platters, it features winners like Pesto Tossed Vegetables in bite-sized cones, Samosettes, kulchas, sliders & burgers made with in-house bread and more. A draught beer collection on tap and handcrafted cocktails are also available.

Where: 12th Main Road, Indiranagar Bangalore
Timings: 11:30 am to 9 pm
Contact: 77189 87022 / 96060 71430
Price: INR 1200 for two

The festive season at Conrad Bengaluru introduces Khushiyan by Hilton, a gourmet collection of carefully curated sweets. The traditional mithais with a touch of modern handcrafted desserts, is an amalgamation of all things sweet and wonderful. The perfect answer to your festive sweet needs.

Culinary Director, Chef Praveen Shetty, and his team have put together these fine boxes, introducing a unique product that is the perfect accompaniment to the festive season. The box includes, Pistachio Baklava- a crisp layered filo and pistachio to cater to your festive sweet cravings. Indulge yourself with the Chocolate Barfi, made with corgi cocoa and rich Belgium chocolate nibs. Next on the list is a modern take on the traditional Indian sweet, Karanja - a filo pastry filled with coconut and condensed milk, presented in a potli style. Anjeer and Rose Petal Peda is a classic fusion of aromatic rose and figs with fresh milk made from fig jam with khoya along with dehydrated rose petals. The besan and saffron laddu is a favourite made from Kosher besan flour roasted with ghee and sugar.

The beauty of nature seen at Ayatana Coorg. This 50 key property has suites and rooms that are spread over a 110 acre forest view property. The biggest draw is the in house waterfall but that does not take away the rest of the elements. There are kokum and rudraksha trees as well as many tropical variants as part of the landscape.

Sampled the all new Feel Good Menu from ITC hotels

Sampled the all new Feel Good Menu from ITC hotels that was launched on World Environment Day. The menu has been designed thoughtfully and you will find a limited set of dishes that are in equal parts healthy and flavoursome. The focus has been on responsible sourcing and is designed to highlight the hotel's Vocal for Local initiative. The menu furthers ITC Hotels’ Responsible Luxury philosophy and pledges to strengthen local produce and “Made in India” artisanal products. This initiative supports local farmers and producers, reduces environmental impact and helps minimize carbon footprint. Thank you @itcgardenia @itcwindsor first six pics credited to @itchotels

ITC Hotels’ Feel-Good Menu will be available as a part of the Gourmet Couch Menu in 8 cities pan India and 12 hotels including - ITC Gardenia and ITC Windsor in Bengaluru.

The many moods of the spotted owlet. A small uncre

The many moods of the spotted owlet. A small uncrested owl with a round head and a short tail. It is grayish-brown overall with white spots above while its underparts are white with brown bars. Note the distinctive white eyebrows and neck-band. Often active at dawn and dusk, it is capable of a variety of high-pitched squeals and whistles. Inhabits all kinds of open habitats but avoids dense forest and wetter regions. (https://ebird.org/species/spoowl1?siteLanguage=en_IN). Also see my video here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rGC39-JPiDQ&t=55s

Morsel Treats is all about new age progressive veg

Morsel Treats is all about new age progressive vegetarian food that is as tasty as it is visually appealing. The two level restaurant has semi open seating on one level and a terrace on the higher level making it a safe dining space too. Good food is a good mood and a meal here ensures both.
