Moving to city center, Epicurean tastes are tantalized at Mumbai's gastronomic range of restaurants. You can't get more with it than at Athena, the "champagne cigar lounge" restaurant and bar near the Taj, which rocks to wild music till the wee hours of the morning; and incidentally, is a great hangout place to be seen and to see! Indigo at Colaba, is an immensely satisfying to dine and drink in chic elegance. Bandra's Olive wins hands down for Mediterranean cuisine, a balmy atmosphere and a fabulous bar. The Thai Pavillion at the President does divine - one guess only - Thai. The Taj's Golden Dragon is still popular for Chinese, after all these decades.

The Executive luncher has many an option, starting with good old Trattoria at the President Hotel on Cuffe Parade, open 24-hours. The décor and food is cheerfully Italian, with original pizzas and a sinful chocolate mousse. Ling's Pavillion behind Regal, is another old time favourite with gourmet Cantonese cuisine and a great reputation that it lives up to. The Sea Lounge at the Taj retains its old charm and informality, with guests lingering at their meals while ships pass by in the busy harbour.

Good old Khyber at Kala Ghoda and Samrat at Churchgate serve North Indian cuisine and maintain the same standard they have for decades. Sanuk Thai, at Kala Ghoda has great executive lunches. For a taste of Maharashtra, try Viva Paschim at Worli - this is non-veg Malvani, Konkani, Kolhapuri cuisine at its spicy best. Bandra boasts of the Golden Orchid, with Oriental cuisine, especially seafood. The Great Wall at the Leela in Sahar is another sure bet.
