Review Farmlore - Bengaluru

Sublime experience. The taste, the presentation, ambience - all packaged in a ten course meal worth savoring every bite! Highly recommended, great for couples or small groups. Edit: reading through some of the negative reviews, thought I'd add for good measure - the staff were exceedingly polite. The website clearly mentions the reason why coming on time is advised. Because timing is critical - each course is carefully prepared with temperature and texture of the ingredients intact. I hope people understand why the criticism is unfair and a fine dining experience is very much a chef's curation.

Had a great experience in Farmlore. My 1st fine Dine-in experience and it was just amazing. Visited Farmlore for dinner, it was a 10 course menu (5300/- per ticket). The dishes, plating, ambience everything's was great. The chefs & staffs were super friendly explaining about the food and place in a detailed manner. We even got a small kitchen tour at the end. We were not able to see their farm since we went for dinner. !! Ensure to reach on time !! Dinner 18:30-22:00 (be there before 19:00 so that you wont miss any of the dish). So that you can have a wholesome experience. PS: Don't mis their Gummy bear candies.😜 Cheers guys.!!🍻

Travelled from north Bangalore to this place n was worth the experience. In the middle of mango groves is this quiet place. They only have 18 seats so plan in advance. We chose a 5 course meal. They took our dietary preference in advance. The chef did a great job explaining the dish n how to eat. The cutlery was fancy but not very functional. Dishes were unique.. from the taste I couldn't really guess as no one flavor was dominating.. loved the veg starters. Soup was at right temperature.. did a whole lot of good for my throat. Buns were fluffy For the main course we did seared brinjal with barley.. unique combination. A bit on the salty side. Dessert was yummm.. overall a great experience. Would love to go back again for the 10 course meal

Truly theatrical experience but comes at a cost. It's a one of a kind experiential 5 course and 10 course meal concept with set menu, highlights being the location (amidst a 5 acre mango farm), knowledgeable staff with myriad experience in different cuisines who churn out different dishes everyday in 'masterchef' style, and ofcourse the food itself. Personally loved the inter play of flavours in all dishes mostly being a hit but a miss in a case or two. Very relaxed environment. Very calm. The whole place screams of organic, finest sourced ingredients including locally produced in the farm itself, best of the best staff who are very courteous and chic interiors. Suggest to go with open mind and enjoy the experience. Bonus if you get a chef s table, you can the see the preparation right in front of your eyes.

Some really unusual but delightful flavours and art in every dish. The chef poured his heart out in every dish. An off beat but a beautiful setup. Looks like a Farm, feels like a farm but tastes gourmet. A well accomplished and well travelled group of chefs that have created an extraordinary experience an hour away from the bustle and hustle of the city. Booking in advance is mandatory. And do come with an open mind.

The best degustation experience and service here. It was a long drive from South Bengaluru but it was worth it. A cosy place with the best chefs preparing and presenting sheer beauty on a plate. One of the best farm to table experiences. Spread across lush greenery and set in a beautiful environment. We picked the front table near the chef prep table and could see chefs operating in a well coordinated way to present pure art on the plate and every dish was scrumptious. We had chosen the 5 course lunch experience. Will definitely be there for the 10 course dinner soon.

A really good intro to chef’s table dining experience. The food, when we went in for lunch, was superb and imaginative. My parents have never done this sort of dining before but the chefs kept the experience inclusive and approachable. Vegetarians, no need to feel like the outsider here as the vegetarian dishes are just as thoughtful as the meat led ones. Each component of the dish is not only lovingly put together but also explained so we can experience each plate the chefs intended it We came away from the experience fully satisfied. Carry your own wine and they will chill it and serve it for you (no corkage). Great service, warm reception and all-in-all a very unique dining experience in Bangalore. Bonus: One v cute chef.

It’s not just food but art! We were served a variety of dishes with great vegetarian options over a 5 course meal! Food is made with fresh produce and everything has it’s purpose on the plate. It was value for money and is a great experience for special occasions! We sat at the chef’s table where you get to see them plate all the courses. Along with that they ensure it’s an immersive experience! Would recommend booking online in advance. They also gave us a tour of their farm where they grow the produce.

One of the best dining experiences we have ever had till date by far! The care given to the quality of ingredients and the creativity that goes behind every single course comes shining through and makes it very clear that the chefs are truly passionate about what they're doing. Definitely recommended for celebrating a special occasion - the dinner ambience is lovely but I for one can't wait to go back there for a lunch sitting and enjoy the rest of the property as well!

Went for our anniversary dinner and it turned out to be nothing short of a 2.5 hour performance art. The dishes, story telling, presentation, service, setting, attention to detail - it was just perfection. One of the, if not the best, dining experiences in Bangalore. They have a different menu every week based on seasonality and availability of ingredients. It's a 10 course tasting menu with the perfect portion size to make you satiated at the end. The 3 chefs were amazing hosts and genuinely interested in the feedback and sharing their stories. Coming to the food, every bite is an explosion of tastes - more like exercising your taste buds in unconventional ways. I will definitely be going back. They have a byob policy as well.

My experiences at Farmlore have been nothing short of amazing. Whether it has been a casual meal or even a celebratory one, the team has never failed to impress. Tucked inside a 37 acre property, this is truly a hidden gem worth experiencing. With their attention to detail, each element of Farmlore has a story and it takes a curious mind to appreciate the work that has been put in. In terms of food, they’ve broken stereotypes and made me appreciate the technicalities of food all the more while also treating my tastebuds to some scrumptious dishes. If you’re looking for a truly one-of-a-kind experience, this is the place to be!

A much anticipated visit to Farmlore after hearing so much about it from my friend. I love the concept and the aspiration that they have to increase the dining standards in Bangalore. Education in any form takes a while to achieve and I do appreciate the efforts they have made to do it. Ambiance: + perfect for the setting. Place was comfortable without being ostentatious. I like the simplicity that is reflected in the surrounds and also in the cuisine. - there were quite a few small flies that kept flying around the dishes. Service: + on site, it was efficient and unobtrusive. - I have an onion intolerance and to contact me via WhatsApp (my number is not local) which I stated in the booking form which I had booked about 5 days before. I was told upon arrival that they had been trying to reach me on the phone all day to tell me they cannot make an exception for my intolerance and I could only eat 4 dishes out of 10 if I wanted to go ahead. I was slightly annoyed because I was already on site and the alternative of missing out 6 dishes but having paid full price was not a good option to me. It would have been good to contact me via email (which is also on the booking form if they really could not get me on WhatsApp) to let me know so that I had the option of cancelling. Food: Execution of techniques were good but flavours could be better. Some dishes were hit and miss. I felt the pork belly could have been cut into more bite sized pieces given that the knife to cut the meat wasn’t exactly suited for cutting it. But I really enjoyed the alcoholic gummies which was intense in flavour and paired perfectly with dark chocolate Overall, it was a good experience and I believe that they will get better. Bangalore needs this creativity and chefs who are passionate enough to want to bring up the level. I would def like to come back again in a few months to try and see the progress. Thank you for the meal and hard work chefs!

The ten course menu was delicious. Many delicacies were prepared with minimal ingredients and tasted fresh and yum. My favourite was the starter meringue with ants, ginger and tamarind chutney. Few things that would have made the experience fully worth it - found a bone in the red mullet fish that my husband had. Also the cutlery, spoon especially was smelly. Apart from this, we enjoyed the lunch - the chefs explained the dishes well. It was very well organized, things seemed to move so seamlessly, a lot of prep to keep things going this way. So appreciate that.

So we finally got there after a lot of hiccups - they don’t allow late entries and we were asked to turn back the first time since we were late, so be there on time. Now coming to the food; It was a full theatre - the taste was amazing, presentation was world class and loved their hospitality through and through. It’s definitely one of its kind of experience in India, certainly at par to a Michelin star (not that Michelin star is the standard, but no other familiar way to praise). They specialise in using locally sourced ingredients and they even tell you where they source them from. It is by default a non vegetarian coursed menu and you can specify your dietary restrictions at the time of booking for them to consider that into account. We had a 10 course meal and we were full by the 6-7 course. The menu changes every week and we’d love to go back there another time!

Incredible, incredible experience from start to finish. Can’t say enough good things about the food, the staff, the ambience, the mission… Everything was perfection and I’m planning my next trip back already! Nothing like anything you’ve ever seen or tasted in Bangalore!

It would be unfair to call Farmlore a restaurant . It is a mind blowing , immersive experience where cooking, plating and serving dishes is elevated to the rank of Performing Arts . Spread across 2 hours 30 mins , the 10 course tasting menu is prepared fresh , course by course ; each served with a short discourse about the ingredients and the innovative ( futuristic) cooking method employed to create it . None of the dishes are like anything eaten before and fittingly, none have a name . Flavours and tastes ,subtle and distinct. The Menu changes every day depending on what produce is available locally right then. The philosophy is “rediscovering “Locavore” traditions, cultures and its connection to our Mother Earth” , the aim being ‘sustainable gastronomy’. The bubbly young Chefs were ready to chat and show us around their kitchen . (Their specially designed wood-fired stove and oven have witty personal names that are chuckle-worthy ) . Distance from City notwithstanding , this unique dining experience was absolutely enjoyable and memorable. Kudos, Team Farmlore !

Fantastic experience, unlike any other culinary journey you’re going to have in Bangalore. The unique dishes, storytelling capacity of the creators and servers, and idyllic and extravagant presentation of everyday ingredients absolutely reeked (in a good way) of Michelin-trained chefs who know their way around food selection, taste, and visual optimization. Kudos to y’all - I can’t wait to return. Hot tip: bring your own bottle of wine! The restaurant has glasses & an opener.

Outstanding place! Michelin star experience with a great atmosphere. The food portions are immaculately crafted and presented while being absolutely delectable! Worth every bit of the money you pay! Kudos to Chefs Johnson Ebenezer and Maithrayee, as well as Jr Sous Chef, Avinash and the other staff for a super experience!

Unique, one of a kind experience. The full weekend menu is worth the trip! Your taste buds are in for a treat. The chef's are all available and happy to share with the guests.
