A Hilton Indulgence

Remember the time when you craved for something exquisite, something that took more than a try to pronounce it or made your group envious with a background of someplace splendid? Make that moment more impressive by indulging in an all-you-can-eat buffet at The Brasserie.

A five minute drive from the international terminal of Mumbai, The Brasserie lies within the quaint little summer house of Hilton. The 19th century styled lounge with contrasting hues of dark woods and cream coloured art deco setting changes your posture and spoils your bad mood instantly. As you make your way to The Brasserie, the hugely ornate bay windows and the extensive buffet spread adds layers to your luxurious appetite before you finally dig in.


Green Peas Mousse: Bring in the Spring with every spoonful of peas with parmesan crisp. Seasoned off with lavash olives, the acidity is a great way to start your evening.

Milk Strawberry: Before you down a daiquiri or a wine, prep your heart with the milky goodness of a strawberry shooter. As quick as your countdown to 1, 2 and 3, the shooter was reasonably good and a classic.

Boulangerie potato: Lean, mean and full of protein! Roll you tongue with the meltingly soft potatoes glazed with rich flavours of black pepper and hints of thyme.

Thin-crusted pizzas: Topped with elemental cheese, pepperoni, red-pepper flakes and chopped basil, the vegetarian pizza was strictly average and did nothing to match the Hilton experience.

Desserts: All things sugar, all things nice make one eat more day and night! If the beaten whipped cream and shades of Trio Chocolate Mousse did not tease your guilty buds then the Spicy Choco Bar and Dilbahar definitely would. Though the Pineapple Cheesecake in a graham cracker and beaten cream wasn't bad, it was the cinnamon sprinkled Bread Pudding that took you to heaven in every mouthful.

Wine: The whiff of cherry and bell peppers in every sip of cabarent sauvignon wine beautifully ended the meal with acidic flavours and soft tannins.

Overall, The Brasserie was an experience that was high on price and fair good treats. If you are looking for a late night meal and money is not your worry then head over to this shimmery restaurant for a Hilton indulgence.
