Till date, I have come across two places with the perfect kind of hot chocolate and this place is one of them. I prefer my hot chocolate a bit thick and creamy rather than runny and here you get exactly that.
I usually like balancing out a hot chocolate with something savoury. Hence got their butter croissant. It was crisp, flaky and buttery. Just thinking about it makes my mouth water.
The desserts are phenomenal. They had 1 vegan option left the day I went and it wasn’t disappointing at all
Perfect blend of remarkable ingredients with awesome creativity. Flour-less chocolate gateau prepared with 'Guanaja 70%' (Valrhona's legendary dark chocolate) mousse, pralines laced with cocoa nib, with 72% chocolate cream. The taste is mind blowing with perfect balance. It just kind of holds your tasting senses so effectively.
Oh, just the best croissants ever! The mushroom omelette is just delicious. One of the best places around. The food is very delicious, clean, and shows the passion and dedication behind its preparation.
This small cafe in bandra really has my heart.
Loved the sandwiches they make and the amount of burrata they put in is commendable.
Loved their presentation and dishes prepared of truffle.
The mocktails are quite refreshing and tasty.
The dessert (salted caramel) was a perfect end to the amazing meal we had here.
Would surely visit again.
Simple looking hit chocolate will blow you away. Amazing hot chocolate. One of the best in the city.

Yoga girl from Bangalore was in Bombay on work and I setup a rendezvous to meet her in Bandra so that I could collect from her a stash of jackfruit chips. I chose La Folie Lab because it's highly rated, looks very fancy, and well it was another one of the myriad of restaurants in Bandra I've never been to.
First and foremost, La Folie Lab is so limited in space when compared to restaurants in Bangalore. Granted real estate in Mumbai comes at a premium price but it would be wise of them to invest in an interior decorator who could revamp the space. The seating is predominantly wooden tables and chairs which is not very comfortable if your gluteus maximus is ageing. It's like they don't want you to get too comfortable. The decor really didn't have anything for me to write home about.
The menu is better- providing a limited fare of options to choose from but each offering on the menu if chosen wisely is unique. Yoga girl and I opted for the plates- where I had the market fish with couscous and she the prawns in laksa sauce with black rice. We started our conversations with lemonade which was a bit too sour so we watered them out.
Service took about 20 minutes and for the record, La Folie Lab scores BIG when it comes to presentation. Presented on stoneware bowls, trays, and plates with Masterchef style plating, you'll be eating out of those portions with glee. Portion size is good and the price is on the higher side when you're paying for premium ingredients. My friend loved her rice plate and while my fish had an interesting coating of almonds, my only bone of contention were the pieces of cucumber in my couscous. They could have been shredded instead of cubed or rather shouldn't have been there in the first place.
We also decided to have dessert which was a blood orange and grape fruit tiered dessert that was so pretty, we both agreed it looked better than our own wedding cakes. It tasted pretty good too. The other one had a sweet fruit jam center whose name I can't recall. It was a tad too sweet for my liking but it would have nailed the spot for any sweet tooth.
Our meal for two came to about INR 2300 including service charges which works out to INR 1250 a head. Come here if you want a date to SPEND on you and you want a fancy meal. This makes for a good stopover to grab a cuppa but I'd prefer if they did something about the seating arrangement and upholstered the chairs with cushions.

A small cozy cafe at bandra hill road. The place is very nice with and amazing ambience. A place across the street to hang with your friend over lot many things which are available here. Have visited this place many times. And can go many more times. Everytime I go I tend up trying something new. Smoothie bowl, waffles all day breakfast many more healthy bowls, croissants etc and the best part the desserts just can’t get over them. Go and try it out now.
Pretty small cafe at the end of hill road. Okayish menu options. Super courteous staff. Quick service.
What we had:
Grilled veggie with hummus samdwich: the sourdough tasted great but was tad bit hard and chewy. The taste of the sandwich on whole was good.
Quino mezze bowl: greate hummus, quinoa had. O dressing so tasted bland, nachni chips were to die for.
Iced mocha: great tatse , right amount of coffee kick
Green mango passion fruit drink: tangy and tatsy.
Ambience:3/5
Food:3/5
Service:4/5
I’ve tried the hot Chocolate and Swiss truffle out there! The pastry was too good! Flavours were extraordinary. Hot chocolate was too dark! If you’re fond of dark chocolate liquid you must go for it otherwise I liked the pastry more. Overall ambience was pretty aesthetic and cozy.
