212 - Cafe and Bar

Chocotini

Another addition to the list of awesome joints in Pune. Once you enter the cafe, you hardly realize that you're in a mall. The staff is well trained and very courteous. I loved the place so much that I visited it twice in one single week, the first time on 5th Dec and then again on 8th Dec. 

Espressotini

They have an indoor as well as an outdoor seating area. The alfresco area opens into the central courtyard area of the Phoenix mall. Last Sat there was a Jazz music fest on and we're lucky to have chosen to dine there. Live music simply added to the overall experience.

I tried a Chocotini - Dark chocolate laden martini. Loved it!

Chicken skewers

We ordered a portion of Seared Chicken Skewers - It was a version of chicken satay served with a tangy tomato based sauce. The chicken pieces were very succulent and the flavorful sauce went very well with the chicken. 

Masala Omlette

For mains we went for a Masala Omlette with toast and a Chicken Caesar's Salad. Very basic items and very well done! Thumbs up to the salad!

Chicken Caesar's salad

Cajun spiced baby potatoes

Penne with Sundried tomatoes and Creme

The other day my vegetarian friend and I ordered Cajun Spiced Baby Potato and Penne with Sundried tomatoes and Creme. We loved the crispy jacketed flattened baby potatoes. Absolutely crunchy on the exterior and very flavorful.

Carrot cake with cream cheese frosting

Dessert - Carrot cake with cream cheese frosting. This is the best carrot cake I've had till date. Well plated and taste equally well.
