Brunch at the Lake View Cafe at Westin Mumbai
As I stepped into Westin Mumbai, I was undoubtedly mesmerized by the waterfront splendour that the city has to offer. On one sun-drenched afternoon, I decided to try out this opportunity and take full advantage of the Westin hotel’s luxurious restaurants. So, I headed over to the Lake View Cafe, where I knew I could experience a truly remarkable culinary theatre with the unbeatable view of the lake. What a spectacular restaurant! I was determined to let go and truly unwind in this delightful setting, so I embraced the opportunity and went with the flow.
The minute I got my hands on the LVC Signature cocktail “By The Lake”, I knew I was in for a wild ride! This electrifying concoction is a delightful blend of Beefeater gin, in-house bitters, cucumber, orange slices, olives, and smoked rosemary – a savoury symphony of flavours that’s sure to tantalise your taste buds! If you’re looking for a picturesque spot to savour this delightful drink, look no further than Westin’s Lake View Cafe. From its perch beside the calming Powai Lake, you can gaze out at the majestic Hiranandani skyline and let the hours drift away in its splendour. The views here were simply sublime – I’m still not over them!
If you’re looking for an exciting experience, then you’ll be thrilled by the selection of Indian and continental cuisine at the hotel! I recently had the pleasure of trying out the buffet and a la carte menus, and the food and service were absolutely outstanding. I even had the privilege of meeting Executive Chef Sahil Arora, who added a delightful touch to my visit by sharing the fascinating history behind my favourite restaurant. It was truly a memorable experience!
After a scintillating conversation with Executive Chef Sahil Arora, I quickly realized Marriott’s unwavering commitment to ensuring their food was as authentic as it could be. He had me marveling at the Oriental overtones that weren’t just the same, but had a unique flavor to each one. It was quite thrilling to be enjoying a variety of Asian flavors while being surrounded by a European-style environment and the Mediterranean elements. LVC made it even more exciting by offering me the best of both worlds – fresh food and a healthier approach – all in one place.

The brunch started off with a bang! We were treated to the mouthwatering Shui Zhu Fish, a classic Sichuan delicacy that’s beloved in specialty restaurants all over China. And it didn’t stop there – Red Wine poached pears, a zesty arugula and feta salad, and Betel leaf baked salmon with salsa verde followed, making it more Sichuan than Cantonese!
At the Lake View Cafe, the fish filets were seasoned to perfection with a flavour profile straight from the bustling streets of China. The Red Wine poached pears, arugula, and feta salad was a delightful treat – a luscious green salad, topped with crunchy chopped nuts to add a little extra crunch. A truly tantalizing feast for the eyes and the tastebuds alike!
I wrapped up my brunch on a high note with an absolutely mouthwatering traditional betel leaf baked salmon with salsa verde. This dish was undoubtedly the star of the day – a true showstopper! Every item on Lake View Cafe’s menu is deserving of accolades, particularly the classic dishes. The service and lake views? Simply extraordinary!
