Another new brunch in town Posted on November 20, 2006November 21, 2006 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.

Here’s the review of Ista and Lido and a whole lot of pictures!

He’s coming to Bangalore and wants to meet me for dinner. I might be travelling out I tell him. He can’t believe his luck! It’s about the 4th time he’s going to miss me.

Alive is Awesome Mountains and water crossings: ooh, aah, shiver! Posted on October 31, 2012November 1, 2012 We surveyed the scene before us. But none of us wanted to take the plunge.

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! Lydia Reply
