A Bandra Christmas
Pause Café celebrates its very first Christmas in Bandra with a festive menu inspired by winter traditions and Christmas markets from around the world.
The menu includes The Hearty Pumpkin Soup, which sets the tone with velvety warmth and autumn-style spice, while the Shepherd’s Pie layers a richly-seasoned lentil or soy mince filling under a cloud of golden mashed potato.
It also has Spaghetti Bolognaise, which is slow-simmered and hearty, and the Christmas Ravioli, and Germany’s Potato Pancake. For dessert, try Britain’s Sizzling Sticky Date Cake, Germany's Black Forest Mousse Cake, Sweden’s classic Cinnamon Roll, France’s Coffee and Chocolate Mousse Cake, and Poland’s Babka Tree of Joy.
The festive drinks are all about cosy flavours and small festive touches — think warm chocolate, gentle spice, and soft toasted marshmallows.
