Brunches can prove to be rather harmful to your pockets. But just hanging out at a nice place, enjoying the breezy and cool Bangalore weather in the company of family and friends over a long, leisurely lunch is not an altogether unpleasant way to spend a Sunday afternoon either. I would recommend it once in a while!
This Sunday, I got an opportunity to try out the brunch at Lido, the 24 hour coffee place and restaurant, at Ista. For those of you who might not know this place, it’s the hotel built in the same place where the old Lido theatre was located. It’s relatively new so a lot of people haven’t heard of it as yet.
Here’s the review of Ista and Lido and a whole lot of pictures!

Looks yummy! Next time when I come to Bangalore I need to visit that place.
I like your photos. They are so perfect.

Nice! Have been hearing about Ista for a while. Your review convinces me to try it out the next time we are wondering about where to go on a Sunday morning.

Hi!
The food looks so yummy!
But I was sad to hear that LIDO theatre is not
there anymore
When we were kids, our parents used to take
us for movies and Lido, was one of our favorites.
When I come to Bangalore next, Im going to check it out!

I have tried out the brunch and it is worth every penny….the fried squid (Calamari ??) was really good.
