It's always nicer to snag a table outside at Olive, but you've got to call and be specific, that's what we do.
The second Olive Bar & Kitchen in Mumbai takes pride of place next to the Amateur Riders Club inside the Mahalaxmi Race Course.
It serves up mostly Mediterranean cuisine and fine wines in a white-washed, rustic space that is divided between an air-conditioned interior and alfresco section (where generous use of citronella counters the scents wafting from nearby stables).
Despite tasty wood-fired pizzas, Olive is a better bet for drinks than for a meal (this is equally true of its sister branch on Pali Hill in Bandra). And while its small bar may force you to cozy up to your neighbors, its Casa de Tapas (6-8pm Fridays) with Spanish tapas and sangria is a great way to kick-start the weekend.
