1. Red Box Bar & Cafe, Juhu
For the girlfriend who’s part food snob, part nostalgia queen
Red Box is back and if you know, you know. After 15 years, the iconic Bandra haunt has reopened in Juhu with all its familiar energy and a serious upgrade. Think: a bright, airy 3,000 sq ft space with a full bakery counter (yes, croissants and cheesecakes), a stacked bar, and a menu that swings from Pain Perdu Avocado breakfasts to sizzlers, sushi and their signature Cottage Cheese Pesto Pizza. The drinks menu is no less impressive with single malts, classic cocktails, and 0 percent alcohol drinks for the sober curious. This one’s perfect for a fun lunch, pre-dinner drinks or a full-blown evening out.
Price for two: ₹1,500 approx
Time: 9 AM to 1:30 AM

2. Los Cavos, Bandra
For the girlfriend who loves a Latin beat and an even better ceviche
Nothing says “I planned this” like dinner at a place with dim lighting, Latin American food and a wine list that doesn’t mess around. Los Cavos on Linking Road nails the mood. Come here for empanadas, ceviches, strong cocktails and a soundtrack that might make you want to salsa by dessert. Their weekend brunches are a whole vibe too.
Price for two: ₹2,500

Their pizzas, pastas and risottos all start with handmade dough and fresh ingredients and it shows. The vibe is warm, buzzy and intimate just the way you want it.

4. Si Nonna’s, Lower Parel
For the girlfriend who swears by authentic Italian or nothing
Si Nonna’s has earned its fanbase the hard way by obsessing over the little things like the fermentation on their sourdough pizza bases or the char on their crust. It’s unfussy, comforting and totally delivers on the “pizza and wine” vibe. Order the Truffle Mushroom or the Nonna’s Pepperoni and thank us later.
Price for two: ₹1,500
Time: 11 AM to 12 AM
Reservations: +91 91366 93001
Location: Kamala Mills, Lower Parel (with outlets across India)
