VERANDA BISTRO ---- Ultimate Mediterranean Food

Well it is long time since I am in search of new and tasty in eatery options. Little fed up from some typical options.

A phone call from my friend gave me choice to fulfill this when he asked venue for today lunch. I took no time to mention “Veranda Bistro”, it is an upscale Mediterranean restaurant.

And my friends agreed on this luckily. Veranda Bistro is located in Gulberg 2 ,right behind the famous “Maria B” boutique. Entrance of  eatery is very impressive, nice and clean and well dressed management.

The simplistic, yet warm and charming decor create the perfect atmosphere for a pleasant meal with friends and family.

My friends were sitting in round shape table that was only option to sit more than 4 people together. Small tables were arranged. After initially discussion we ordered soup.

Whenever we come such places soup choice is very tricky. Normally our expectation about soup is very traditional. Three varieties were available for soup. I can recall following two names only right now.

These soups were served with very tasty garlic breads.

Wild Mushroom Soup

French Escargot Burgundy

After some time we moved towards buffet, I was almost surprised to see that Varity, fresh Organic Salads , baby lamb , steaks and lot more. It was totally different buffet menu.

Started with organic salad with butter and olives….i can feel the great taste. I missed one option only, the Pink Smoked Salmon. That was out class option in my last visit here. But this time fish was there but it was different. The food was great and the desserts (Chocolate fudge cake) were even greater.

Soft Drinks

Overall I was not very impressed with juice served. L

Price

Price of the buffet is on higher side. It would cost you Rs. 1400 per person (including TAX, cold drink).

Problems / Issues

only  thing i slightly disliked was the mutton steak, It was not very well cooked. 2^nd big issue was payment , they put us on hold due to credit card unavailability. Finally we have to bring cash from near ATM. That was not usual but unfortunately happened today. Though they served complimentary green tea for this, nice gesture I should day.

Final word of advice--do NOT eat off the al a carte menu. eat only from the lunch buffet spread and you just might enjoy your experience.
