Alps - Beer and Sizzler and Talks

Hidden away from the high flying places such as Bade Miyan, Gokul, Cafe Mondegar and Cafe Leopold in Colaba there is Alps...I would not say rising high above all else but this is a small quaint place tucked away in a corner...walk in the road from leopold till the end where you see a small board Alps Beer.

Well this is not the regular beer joint it has become famous for its Sizzlers and Beer combination. Though once upon a time it was one of the best around but recently the popularity has being dwindling.

Went there after a very very long time and ordered a pitcher and Chicken Steak Sizzler which now cost Rs. 200 (minimum for any chicken stuff) and what I got was simply far below my expectations...it was just 2 massive pieces of rubbery chicken put on top of Spagetti and big pieces of Potatoes.

Ambiance is still the same over the years and you can listen to some old hip hop and at times backstreet boys music.

Beer cost is resonalbe, Pints for 100 bucks and Glass of King Fisher for 60 bucks which is ok. So if you just want to talk over a beer with not many people around this is the place or else now better to be avoided.

Out of The Blue - Nothing Blue about it

Met up with friends at CCD Carter Road and then decided to have dinner as we all know about the options we have on that road after deciding for hours we all confirmed for Out of the Blue....as it was Friday night the place was bit packed and we had to wait for 45 mins. The best part of waiting there you can drool on their pastries which they put up on the display just at the entry.

A group of 8  were given space to sit in Air Conditioned section as it was too hot...everyone says this place is romantic and good for couples well, I guess, I missed that part cause we were all shouting as place was packed Friday would not be a place for Couples in Out of the Blue.

We ordered Cottage Cheese Jalapeno which was just ok, regular Cottage Cheese in green colour and a piece of Jalapeno on the top.

Next in round was Pastas and Sizzlers, Out of the Blue has a Regular and Large section, you could order according to your appetite. We ordered 2 Make your own Sizzlers one with Chicken Breast and other Chicken Shaslik, you do have an option to decide your own sauce, veggies and side dish like rice, spaghetti or mash potatoes (hash).

The best part was at the end, we ordered chocolate fondue which was super yumm which comes with Fruits and Chocolate Brownie.

As it is a fine dining don't expect the place to be cheap...but sizzlers are worth the cost.

It is a must try place for good Italian Food.
