Restaurants At UB City – Cafe Noir And Cafe Mangii

Today’s post is a gastronomic photo tour of the restaurants we visited on day 1 namely Cafe Noir and Cafe Mangii at UB City, Bangalore. Please do read the first post about UB City and second post which is a detailed review of two restaurants named Fava and Rasovara.

                                                               Cafe Noir

After eating heavily at Rasovara, we went on a shopping spree at UB City and discovered various luxury shopping brands. Very soon it was time for snacks. So we headed towards Café Noir for a tasting session there.

Cafe Noir Restaurant represents the “French art de vivre”, offering customers a little affordable luxury each and every day. Bread Pastries and Fine Foods lie at the heart of this inimitable French Art of Living.

Located at the Piazza, with its grey, black and white theme, Café Noir has an easy air about it and its reasonable prices only make it a truly charming setting to enjoy a complete French food experience.

We started our tasting session with ice tea which had mint leaves and lemon juice.

Soon after a little chit chat we were served with delicious tomato soup. I just loved the soup which was served hot.

The Macarons were really good. I purchased some of these on day 2 and packed it for my little one too.

Red velvet cake was divine.

Seasonal fruit tart looked sinfully delicious.

Prestige Mousse cake was a dessert which I loved.

Pavloa were heavenly.

Roasted pork chops were served and some bloggers loved these. I don’t taste pork so did not try them.

La Gratinee Veg – Penne pasta with seasonal vegetables in bechamel sauce topped with mozzarella cheese was creamy and delicious.

Cassolette de Poissons Tandoori: A mix of seasonal fish cooked with veggies in a tandoori sauce and served with sesame rice.

After Café Noir we headed on to Café Mangii.

Café Mangii is a nice and a casual hang out place at UB City. From classic wood fired pizzas to pastas and starters all the items on the menu are made to cater the Indian taste-buds.

The food was mainly Italian and European. Read on to know what all we tasted. Yes in this cafe I only tasted the food as I was almost full.

Watermelon and feta salad was served which had feta snow, fresh basil, arugula, drizzled mint dressed with honey and balsamic vinegar.

Cheddar Jalapeno Poppers were made with sun-dried tomato Aioli and were cripy.

Jerk Chicken Olivette was made with Scotch bonnet peppers fumed chicken supreme , jerk mayo and is served with pina colada dip.

Crostini di Polenta was really worth a try. It was grilled Parmesan polenta cakes with peperonata and chive aoili.

Chicken Envelop – Which was Scamorza gorged chicken blanket, smoked BBQ basted, apricot orange glaze.

Herbed Chicken – was chicken supreme which was grilled or Italian crumb fried and served with a house dip.

Baked Cottage Cheese was one of the yummiest dish in the veg section. It was pesto rubbed cottage cheese served with basil pine nut and house slaw.

All the dishes were equally good.

I was so full by the end-of-day that I had to skip my dinner. I had a good time with other bloggers too. Made some new friends and bonded with old ones too. The day 1 ended with fun, laughter, friendship and offcourse great food.
