Alto Vino – A memorable wine dinner

I was back home after 3 days and the foodie in me was dying to try out someplace new.The Bangalore rain added to the charm and hence Rajarshee and I decided to go out in the evening & guess what was on the top of my list – “roll” My hawk eyes (for food) had pinned…
Matsuri – A Celebration of Japanese Food
Talking about Japanese cuisine – it used to be always “Sushi” in my mind – until I visited Matsuri recently. Matsuri is part of the Chancery Hotel, in the heart of the city. The moment you enter, the subtle décor of this Japanese restaurant brought a sense of celebration – which can be linked back…
