Name: Lazio
Cuisine: Continental
Address: Haudin Road, Ulsoor

Avg Meal for 2: Rs 300/-
Value for Money: Yes

Notes: Want to have good continental fare without burning a hole in your pocket? Then head here. Prices of steaks start from about Rs110 and goes upto Rs180. Each plate is served with a generous helping of boiled vegetables, mashed potatos, cole-slaw like salad, and garlic bread. No miserly helpings here. The steaks are tender and juicy. We tried the Lazio steak (minced steak), Wiener Schnitzel (crumb fried) and a philly steak. All three were great. And don't forget the cheesecake! It's heavenly.

Quick Restaurant Review 1: 6 Ballygunge Place

Name: 6 Ballygunge Place
Cuisine: Bengali
Address: # 612, Above Cafe Coffee Day, 12th Main, Indiranagar
Tel: 93421-40520
Food: 8/10
Ambience: 6/10
Service: 7/10
Avg Meal for 2: Rs 450/-
Value for money: Yes
Smoking: Yes
Drinks:
Parking:
Easy

Notes:

Never tried Bengali cuisine, & didn't know what to expect, apart from Bengali's eat a lot of fish. The restaurant's clean, but the seating doesn't offer too much privacy, as the whole place looks like a house-converted-into-restaurant. But the food was fantastic - much better than what I'd expected. I had a "Doi Murgh" with some huge puris, and a red fowl curry with a sweet pulav. The best thing was that the servings were of respectable quantity, so in effect, one dish is enough for two.
