Mood for matki misal

If you can't schedule a beach holiday anytime soon, plop yourself at Vista for a beach-facing breakfast. Dig into authentic Maharashtrian style matki usal pav or a Bombay-style kheema pav. For fans of South Indian fare, there is rava onion chili dosa and appam-stew to choose from. Get a desi chai at the Vista special masala chai.
AT Vista, Taj Lands End, Bandra.

COST Rs 1,650 (plus taxes)

Juhu beach and pancakes

We love a tipple at Gadda Da Vida in the evenings, but Novotel Mumbai also has a breakfast spread at The Square for the early birds. The pool-side view overlooks the beach. They make fresh griddle buttermilk pancakes (above). Pair them with a side of fruit, eggs and a glass of OJ.

Bandstand mornings get a lot more delicious at The Bandstand Pantry.
