Vicinia is a day long cafe bar situated
in the heart of city at Kemp's corner, Mumbai that comes under mainly
in European cuisines. This restaurant serves breakfast, soups and
salads, appetizers, burgers, sandwiches, pastas and pizzas, along
with desserts and cocktails and non-alcoholic drinks.
When the review invite came to me, it
said Vicinia Cafe and Bar in South Mumbai will be bringing the
experience of a European road-side cafe to town. And that was the
trigger that made us happily accept the invite. Vicinia means
'neighborhood' so if you stay around Kemps corner then this could be
your pet place.
Housed inside an old heritage building,
Vicinia is a very good looking café. There is a facade made entirely
of glass offering a meal with a view. Enter and be enveloped by the
cosy, well-appointed interiors filled with artifacts from around the
world. If you love lamps check out the one at the entrance.
We started our lunch with Ceases salad
(Rs.180) and Truffled mushroom crostini (Rs.425). The salad was just
fine and there was nothing much to talk about it. The crostini on the
other hand was rich, thanks to the truffle oil. We also tried their
Chicken supreme (Rs.300) and that sure did tease the taste buds with
the perfect seasoning.
The menu is huge. It offers breakfast,
sandwitches, burgers, pizzas, pasta and a good selection for the
entrée. We were suggested, that we must try Truffled mushroom
capellini (Rs.675). This by far was the best thing I had tried here.
The Braised chicken breast (Rs.425) we
tried was a bit bland, but the accomplishments with it were
delicious. A little more seasoning this one could have been way much
better!
For the desserts we tried the gooey
chocolate cake, which was not really gooey. The flavors were just
perfect, but the texture made it look more like a cake.
Verdict: Vicinia Cafe and Bar is a good
place to dine. Service is good. The menu is well set giving you a lot
of options. Costs are also moderate considering what is being served
on the plate. Visit us to get more good places to dine in Mumbai.
