After that, I have gone to Moshe's as he has a lot of veg dishes.<BR/><BR/>I hope Basilico has added more veg dishes now, I love it's relaxed bistro atmosphere, the delicious food and the desserts.Juhihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14514527012014297909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20337786.post-31639484122291767442009-01-27T12:27:00.000+05:302009-01-27T12:27:00.000+05:30yes am surrounded by temptation ;)I think where Ba...yes am surrounded by temptation ;)<BR/><BR/>I think where Basilico scores for us is that the others have ignores us in the BurbsKalyan Karmakarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14552556294198718249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20337786.post-31690385194135122272009-01-27T11:52:00.000+05:302009-01-27T11:52:00.000+05:30i pretty much agree with what you say, nice digs b...i pretty much agree with what you say, nice digs being opp Basilico, there are quite a few nice restaurants in walking distance. <BR/><BR/>too much temptation!!! <BR/><BR/>I think Basilico gets a bum rap, since it was the first one to move into the gourmet, well priced market offering some imaginative cuisine. <BR/><BR/>since then Moshes has stolen their thunder while Indigo Deli has come up as an alternative (though not half as imaginative)Gauravhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08825132273845517460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20337786.post-84350027925887125862009-01-27T11:46:00.000+05:302009-01-27T11:46:00.000+05:30my first interfact with Basilico was at the Sunday...my first interfact with Basilico was at the Sunday brunch at Colaba. We had a great feast then. Since then one had opened at Pali Naka, Bandra opposite to our house. Basilico has remained a favourite of ours and we have never been dissapointed. Their desserts are ver nice and I often cross over to get some when midnight pangs hit us. Which is very often. The presentation of food, as your pictures show, is quite good. Some of their good non vegetarian dishes are beef roulade and the Moroccan lamb broth. Their pastas are quite nice tooKalyan Karmakarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14552556294198718249noreply@blogger.com
