Salt Water Cafe has a new monsoon menu

Since Salt Water Café is something of a culinary hub in Bandra, our two-year-old fall-back option for brunch, lunch, dinner and coffee we're updating you on their seasonal menu switch. Mostly because the food's good enough to warrant a discussion in the first place, which is more than we can say for many a Bandra café pretending it can whip up a meal beyond coffee and cakes.

Chef Gresham Fernandes's new menu is unusually modern, lays its emphasis on seasonal produce and if you payattention, you'll notice there's always a nod to Mumbai in there somewhere.

Fork your way through a showcase of some of his kitchen's best work, including:

Seared tenderloin carpaccio

Pan-seared trout + bacon + peppers + almonds

Lamb + coriander + bird eye chilli + noodles

A fish 'n' chips inspired plate + smoked malt mayo

Smoked turkey + cheddar brun pav

Kokum sorbet + garam masala

Hazelnut mousse flan + cream cheese drizzle
