A Charming Mother’s Day Lunch at Eloise

A Charming Mother’s Day Lunch at Eloise – The Bistro

Eloise - The Bistro

This post may come as a surprise, considering how unexpectedly it has appeared after such a long silence. After much thought, I decided it was finally time to revive the blog. The last post dates back to 2018, and while I may gradually try to fill in the missing years with stories and photographs, for now, here’s a lovely recent outing to begin this new chapter.

To celebrate Mother’s Day, I headed out with my family for a delightful lunch at the beautiful Parisian-themed café, Eloise – The Bistro. This eatery instantly charms you with the adorable teddy bear that greets guests at the entrance.

From the moment we arrived, the warm and welcoming staff made us feel comfortable. Guests can either take the lift located at the side or walk through the bakery and climb a narrow staircase that opens directly into the heart of the café.

The ambiance is nothing short of enchanting. Soft French-inspired music played in the background, giving the place the feel of a scene straight out of a 1920s Parisian film. The pastel pink interiors, floral décor, thoughtfully placed mirrors, ceramic plates, paintings, elegant furniture, and refined crockery all came together beautifully, making it the perfect setting for a Mother’s Day celebration.

Once seated, we quickly got down to the important business of ordering. Starting with drinks, I led the way with a frappe, and soon enough, all of us had followed suit. Between us, we ordered almost every frappe on the menu—Eloise Frappe, Café Frappe, Nutella Frappe, and Tiramisu Frappe.

To begin, we shared a portion of Eloise Grilled Prawns, which made for a delicious starter. For the main course, I chose the Lasagne Alle Verdure, while the rest of the family enjoyed Truffle Fettuccine, Flame Grilled Chicken, and Lamb Chops.

No meal is complete without dessert, of course. We ended on a sweet note with a Walnut Brownie, divided into four and happily devoured, along with a complimentary Chocolate Tart as a special Mother’s Day treat.

Would we go back? Absolutely. There were still so many tempting dishes left unexplored on the menu, and after such a satisfying meal, a return visit is definitely on the cards.

Sometimes, the best way to restart something is with good food, good company, and a memorable experience—and this lunch was exactly that.

The 7 Wonders at Eco Park

Pyramid & Sphinx Our last excursion to Eco Park in Rajarhat dates all the way back to February 2015. Since then, a myriad of transformations has swept through the park. During a recent journey to the airport, we caught sight of the park's latest additions, which had become the talk of the town, visible from Biswa Banga Sarani. That sighting ignited our decision to revisit the park. Naturally, we concurred that visiting on a weekend would be an exercise in chaos, so we opted for a weekday to fully savor the wonders that awaited us. To our surprise, even on a weekday, the park teemed with visitors. Upon entering Eco Park for a nominal fee of Rs. 30, we were immediately struck by the sheer value it offered. Personally, I would have willingly paid more for the privilege of glimpsing these marvelous creations. Rather than expound further, I'll let the images convey the essence of what lies within. That being said, it unquestionably merits an in-person visit to truly appreciate ...

HAL Heritage Centre and Aerospace Museum

I was in Bangalore and this was the only place I actually wanted visit. So here I am taking the tour of India's first aerospace museum located at the HAL facility (opposite the old Bangalore Airport) spread over 4 acres. The displays of actual aircraft are very cool and so are the galleries showing historical pictures and evolution of HAL and its contribution to the nation in Military Aircraft as well as Aerospace. The disappointing thing at the end of the tour was the Gift shop, where I was hoping to find Scale Models of Aircraft and other Memorabilia from the IAF (Indian Air Force), but instead it was a dreary sight to see a shelf which housed Handicrafts! That just didn't make any sense whatsoever. Anyway for those of you who would like to visit this wonderful Museum, the details are below: HF-24 Marut 1T (D1698) IAF MIG-21 Bison (Trainer Version) HAL HJT-36 Sitara (IJT), Intermediate Jet Trainer Prototype. HAL Tejas mock-up (LCA) Light Weight...

Vintage Car Show 2018 at The Tollygunge Club

1947 MG TC So here we are once more at The Tollygunge Club on a cold winter morning to catch some rare beauties to warm our hearts. I try to catch these every year if possible and after my recent trip and the number of cars I've seen on it, one would think I'd give it a miss. This year's collection had most of the usual cars with an addition of some more to the fray. What disappointed though was the limited number of super cars on display. But all that said, it's always a joy to see these wonderful gems still being cared for by their owners and offering us a glimpse into automotive history. So with that much said, I hope you'll enjoy the pictures of the cars below. 1947 MG TC 1938 Rolls-Royce 1938 Rolls-Royce 1953 Land Rover 1932 Ford V8 1932 Ford V8 1950 Cadillac V8 1950 Cadillac V8 1950 Cadillac V8 1956 BSA Bantam 1952 Willy's Jeep 1962 Triumph Spitfire 1962 Triumph Spitfire 1925...
