Bloggers Table | Café G, Crowne Plaza, Gurgaon – real food, great ambience!
“One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well.” Virginia Woolf Time for the Bloggers Table and this time it was a cozy little do at the beautiful Café G at the Crown Plaza Gurgaon. The moment I entered I was hit by a feeling of déjà vu. Such a familiar, almost Ottolenghi like atmosphere, quiet, open, airy. This was one culinary experience worth the visit! Live cooking, real food, authentic flavours … and ‘silently attentive’ excellent staff!The Café offers fine dining with a daily buffet that changes regularly. The interiors are aesthetically done, wood and beige neutrals, nice lighting and a wonderful ambiance. A salad bar…

French Fougasse with Roasted Red Bell Pepper, Garlic, Walnut & Mozarella … #fortheloveofbread
Bread we love! With the carbs threatening an overdose, did a tiny substitution with whole wheat flour and used instant yeast. I also literally stuffed it, almost making it a more like a baked sandwich than bread. It was delicious and disappeared soon! I didn’t have Gouda so used mozzarella instead … any cheese is good and mozzarella was great. Warm, stringy, flavourful … cheesily indulgent.
