European culture has always attracted us and we have included it in our fine dining scene effortlessly, through either décor or menu. Our fondness for French stuff is legendary and Mumbai has a never ending fascination for the culture. The name ‘The Brasserie’ means ‘a small informal French-style restaurant’ but for Hilton Hotel in Andheri East, The Brasserie serves as a wonderful all-day dining restaurant. The eatery is no less charming though and is a great place to grab a bite or take a business associate out for a power lunch. The old-fashioned vibe of the place serves as an ideal backdrop for a cosy brunch with friends. Being part of a reputed hotel chain, The Brasserie is every bit elegant and upmarket, which shows not only in its ambience but through its flawless service as well.

The mix menu of a variety of international cuisines gives the restaurant its reputation. A gourmet can have a gala time wading through their extensive menu featuring from North Indian to French to Italian to Continental cuisines. People who follow a vegan diet can find a separate section dedicated to them. Combine your meal with a drink of your choice picked from The Brasserie’s encompassing bar menu. If not breakfast, start your culinary journey at The Brasserie with an array of appetizers such as, prawns & crab gateau, wild mushroom soup, bharwan hariyali tikka, Greek salad, pesto glace vegetable skewers and gosht sheek kebab gilafi.

The old world charm shines through its marble flooring, winding staircase, moulded walls and cane furniture. An open kitchen keeps one entertained between courses.
