Satsanga
( 2225867;
www.satsanga.co.in
; 54 Labourdonnais St; mains ?150-340; 8am-11pm)
Deservedly popular
for its excellent Continental cuisine, Satsanga, like most places in this genre, offers a full
Indian menu as well. It's especially strong on steaks, fish, prawns and pâtés. There are
good vegetarian options too, and the homemade bread and butter goes down a treat. Some
have complained of slow service, but we found it fine. For a table on the breezy terrace,
it's a good idea to book.
Café des Arts
(Labourdonnais St; light dishes ?100-190; 8.30am-7pm Mon & Wed-Fri, 9am-5pm Sat & Sun; )
Good
brekky and coffee, free wi-fi and a nice outdoor/verandah setting outside a small gallery.
