Viman Nagar has an ever-increasing up-scale residential population but not enough regular family dining restaurants. The long-shut French Loaf has been taken over by the famed Shiv Sagar legends. Now, they have a pure vegetarianu00a0Shiv Sagar and a fish-dominant Fish N Bait on the first floor.

The folks at Fish N Bait are sister concerns of Mahesh Lunch Home and they know their fresh catch. The ocean-farer Mangloreans cook up finger-licking good curries, spicy dry curry-leaf laden prawns and battered crisp-fried little parcels of sea goodness. We haven’t been to a tasty-yet-air-conditioned fine-dine fresh catch place in a while, so we indulged.
