Earthy Twist

The Drunken Botanist

-

Dining out should be a complete sensory experience. Giving new life to this thought is The Drunken Botanist at DLF Cyber Hub. For it’s not every day that you enter a restaurant in the city and find yourself engulfed in a green heaven that makes you feel like you're on a picnic in the midst of a lush forest. Inspired by Amy Stewart’s book The Drunken Botanist, this new restaurant by Manish Sharma of Molecule fame ticks all the right boxes when it comes to a sensationa­l modern-day dining experience. The interiors are stunning—with overhead hanging plants, creepers and walls painted with flowers, and a recurrent brown and green theme that gives it an earthy greenhouse effect. However, the interiors are not the only wow factor. While the extensive food menu may seem confusing and overwhelmi­ng at first, what with a host of street foods from across the world—from Asian and North Indian to Continenta­l and Italian—we promise you will go back a super happy foodie. The bar menu boasts some innovative concoction­s besides regular favourites. Daring drinkers can take their pick from the special cocktails that come with a 'botanist twist', such as the Mysore colada and curry lovers club.

Highlights The Japanese salmon pizza from the Chef Special section—a cold thin-crust pizza that comes studded with salmon roe, fresh salmon, truffle mayo and micro greens—is a thing of beauty and a joy for the palate, and deserves special mention for its ingenuity and originalit­y of flavours. The prawn curry dumplings is another scrumptiou­s must-try here.
