date spots in bangalore
9 places from the bangalore list.
vibey cafe · ub city · ₹₹₹
Cafe Noir
Dim French-bistro corner of UB City. Duck confit, the second-cheapest wine, and a date you want to read well next to.
Low light, leather banquettes, bread basket on the table. The room is the entire reason this isn't a 'mall restaurant'.
vibey cafe · koramangala · ₹₹₹in 3 guides
Toast & Tonic
House-made gin, capsicum-rosemary tonic, bacon old-fashioned. The Ashok Nagar bar that won the cocktail awards on purpose.
The cocktail program is the headline. They infuse their own gins and bottle their own tonics. Order the Garden Tonic or the Bacon Old Fashioned and stop deliberating.

Sly Granny
Multi-floor Indiranagar gastropub disguised as a globetrotting grandmother's house. The rooftop is the reason, cocktails carry the rest.
Ask for the rooftop when you book. Twinkling lights, a sunset slot, and the kind of breeze that makes you forget you live in traffic.
fancy drinks · vasanth nagar · ₹₹₹₹
Olive Beach
Santorini-white villa in Vasanth Nagar. The Mediterranean date-night classic that's been getting it right since 2005.
The gate hides everything behind it. Vasanth Nagar traffic disappears the moment you sit in the alfresco lounge, which is the seat to ask for.
eat · the oberoi · ₹₹₹₹
Karavalli
Coastal Karnataka under tamarind trees at the Taj Gateway. Go for the crab milagu fry and the courtyard at dusk.
The room is modelled on a Mangalorean bungalow with wooden ceilings, gazebos, and outdoor tables that fill first.
dessert · indiranagar · ₹₹₹
Magnolia Bakery
The Sex and the City banana pudding, in Indiranagar. Order it, take it back to a quieter cafe.
Banana pudding is the reason; everything else is a side quest.
date · old airport road · ₹₹₹₹
ZLB23 / Library Bar
Walk through a working kitchen at The Leela and into Asia's 50 Best. Drinks split between Prohibition and Kyoto.
Reservation only. Ask for the Japanese side of the menu first. The Prohibition side is the longer education.
date · bangalore · ₹₹₹₹
Rooftop @ High Ultra Lounge
Thirty-first floor of the World Trade Center, with a helipad bar. Bangalore from 421 feet up.
Glass walls, open air, the city blinking under you. Sunset slot is the harder reservation.
date · indiranagar · ₹₹₹
Black Rabbit
Indiranagar's two-floor pub with the community table downstairs. Cocktails up top, DJ after 9.
The cocktails are stronger than the room suggests. Order something off-menu and they'll usually engage.
