Srilanka Food Fest at Sofitel Mumbai

Pondicherry café Sofitel- Pondicherry café is their all day dining restaurant which serves world cuisine. Currently they got Srilankan food Festival till 10th of march. So as I went for the food festival, I enjoyed so many food options in their Sunday brunch. One of the rare places where I saw such a elaborated Sunday brunch, great display of food. I really enjoyed my brunch in Pondicherry café and will surely recommend you all to go and enjoy their buffet. A must visit place for sure.

Location- Pondicherry café restaurant is located on the lobby level of Sofitel Hotel in BKC so certainly a good centralised location.(5/5)

Theme- Pondicherry café restaurant is all day dining restaurant of Sofitel hotel. I visited the restaurant for the Srilankan food safari, the food festival which they have organised. (5/5)

Food- Sofitel has always done wonders when it comes to culinary experience. The restaurant serves all day multicuisine food. They got buffet on lunch and dinners. I went on Sunday brunch where they had really lavish buffet spread.
Currently they got srilankan food festival where I experienced lot of authentic food of srilanka made with their local ingredients. All the chefs who were on the live counter were really helpful in explaining the offering they got on the buffet. Fish cooked in a srilankan style was a must try. Other than srilankan cuisne they really had elaborated Sunday brunch varieties.

I would like to mention the salad counter they had. It was really well decorated and very rare you can see so many options in salads. They had cold salads like prawn skewers with fig compote, Portobello mushroom salad, pesto bocconcini salad. One side of counter was loaded with Lebanese dishes like hummus, tabbouleh. Cold meat variety had many of my favourite options like salami, sliced turkey and smoked salamon. Cold seafood display was done in style with cooked seafood like lobster, tiger prawns and calamari.

Mumbai chauwpatty food had lot of crowd as that counter was serving Mumbai street food, chaat like sevpuri and bhel. Impressive mohammad ali road counter where they had options of burji, kaleji etc. which was served along with local pav.

Pasta counter was serving gnocchi pasta with type sauce like white, pumpkin. Verde gnocchi looked great with some mushrooms and broccoli. Main course wise few of the srilankan dishes were extraordinary and tried first time like pork red curry, black pepper chicken curry, onion rice. Being a Sunday they had Sunday roast where chef was carving it to the order. They had baby lamb and post leg roasted which was served with new potatoes, red wine jus and roast vegetables. Continental food options were all my favourite and one of the dish caught my attention was steak with cauliflower mornay.

Coming to desserts, the counter was right at the start of the restaurant. Variety was mix of small pastries, chocolate gateaux, macaroons, donuts, Indian sweets, panacotta etc. One pastry chef was there who was baking fresh waffles to the order and had many options as the topping on it. Macaroons were really delicious so does the dark chocolate gateaux.

Thank yopu Sofitel for such a wonderful experience.
