The plating and the taste was amazing, hats off to the chef. The wine selection was amazing, really loves up to the name. Will definitely return.

I was at 266 wine room and bar which is located on Linking Road. The name which has 266 is the street no. 266, it's located right next to Shoppers Stop. We were here for lunch on a Saturday afternoon. Classy ambience and the place looks small when you enter with a nice bar. However it has more space on the inside which makes for a spacious restaurant. It's an Italian restaurant which has an exquisite collection of wines. You wouldn't believe it, but the quality is really nice. We were being served by Arin and Saurabh on the bar.
The place is very peaceful and you can really have a nice conversation and enjoy the food along which is value for money.
We started off with a couple of mocktails and a charcuterie and cheese board.
For mocktails we had the Spiced apple and the smoked affair both of them were nice. As the name suggests the Spiced apple consists of fresh apple juice, cinnamon and cloves. Nice refreshing drink. Rate it 4.5/5
The smoked affair consists of pineapple juice, peach extract and star anise. It's better than the spiced apple in taste. Touch sweeter in taste. Refreshing drink. Rate it 4.6/5
The cheese board has fresh figs, nuts in the form of almonds, pistachios, walnuts. Selected cheese like Edam, Peppercota and Camembert cheese. These were relatively hard cheese. Edam had nutty taste and firm texture. The peppercota(as informed by chef) had pepper flavour again a firm texture. It can be a pepper jack. Not too sure about the cheese. The last one was Camembert cheese a bit milky and soft. I enjoyed all the cheese served on the board. The cold cuts we got were chicken and pork cold cuts. Delicious cuts of meat. Rate the cheese board and charcuterie a 4.6/5
We tried some wine based cocktails with the cheese board. We also had a taste test of Primo Sangiovese Merlot. It was insane. So good. Nice peppery smooth flavours. Loved it.
So the wine based cocktails were Spicy conversation which had a York Cabernet Sauvignon, Captain Morgan, ginger and spices. It definitely was gingery and a touch spicy. Not too heavy on spice. Smooth red wine. Tasted wonderful. Nice quantity and great quality.
The other we had was Coco Jambo which had York Chenin Blanc, Greater Than and coconut. This was white wine. Not as good in taste as the previous one. But definitely a must try. Again nice smooth wine with a little sweetness coming from the coconut syrup. Loved both the wine cocktails. Rate the Spicy conversation a 4.9/5
The coco Jambo a 4.5/5
Coming to food we had Lamb Polpetini which is made with lamb is a meat ball dish with tomato sauce and smoked scamorza. I must say it's a heavy quantity dish. Nice tomato flavour and juicy meat balls. Value for money. Rate it 4.7/5
Next we had Pulled Pork Hash Brown with sunny side egg and bacon. Heavenly is the first word when i remember the dish. Perfect dish for a meat lover. Nothing gets better. There is bacon, pulled pork, eggs, hash brown which is typically potatoes. The textures and juicy flavours just take over your senses. It's got sweet, salty and fatty notes to the dish. Highly recommended. Rate it 5/5
For mains we had a Pesto Chicken Pizza. It had tomato sauce, walnut, confit garlic, basil, parmesan shaving. One of the best thin crust Nepolitan style pizza. High on taste with the fresh pesto and perfectly cooked chicken. The base tomato sauce is the best i have had anywhere. Rate it 4.9/5
For dessert we had Dark Chocolate and Olive Oil Mousse with Mulberries, Himalayan pink salt. Decadent. Delicious, perfect texture of mousse. Definitely a must try when at 266. Highly recommended dessert. The combination works wonders with bitterness coming from the dark chocolate and tang coming from the Mulberries the salt and the sweetness in the mousse. Very less on sweetness compared to many other places. This is quality stuff. Rate it 5/5
We also had some poached pears in red wine. I liked the poached pears. Very less sweetness added to the dish. There is whipped cream which gives the sweetness. There is a waffle at the bottom for texture. But didn't like it much. The poached pear had the red wine flavour. It's awesome. Enjoyed it. Rate it 4.6/5
Overall I had a great time trying some authentic Italian food. It was lovely being there. Very cooperative and helpful staff. Courteous in approach. Can be a bit more trained with the dishes and the elements in them. Nevertheless I had a great time. The food has lived upto expectations and the wine is just the best collection you may find in Mumbai. So i will definitely be back for my most favourite dish which was the Pulled Pork Hash Brown.
Till then Bon Appetit!!
Heard great things about this place, i tried
Pan seared gnocchi
- fantastic, get this
Teriyaki chicken
- okay, nothing great
Pulled pork hash brown
- best thing i had, definitely get this
Panacotta
- what the hell!?!?!? it melted by the time it reached!!! melting panacotta? teach Gordon Ramsay real quick!!
Packaging: standard stuff
Pricing: expensive even with the discount
This place may look hole in the wall but is a decent 75 seater. It is audacious for the number of wines it has by glass , 58 and it surpasses all restaurants in the city to the best of knowledge. They have dared to put lesser know grapes like Albariño, Gruvee, Gewürztraminer, Nero D’Avola etc by glass and for a true wine lover it an opportunity to try different stuff. Sommelier Parth Mehta a Certified Somm is on the floor guiding people through the 125 something wine list. The baked Brie and lotus chips are lovely accompaniments to a lazy wine evening .

![Zomato]( "Recensione")
We were here for lunch on a Saturday afternoon. It's a quite restaurant with a nice looking bar. The ambience is perfect for a conversation. It's comfortable and cozy. The menu is elaborate. They serve authentic Italian cuisine. We ordered for a Pesto Chicken Pizza. It was delicious. Really one of the best pizzas I have had. It had walnuts, confit garlic, basil and shaved parmesan. Tasted really good. Thin crust with lovely tomato base sauce. Highly recommended.
We had a cheese board with Peppercotta, Edame and Camembert along with which fresh figs were served and also some dried nuts like pistachios and almonds. The cheese was tasty and it's a very unique experience personally for me.
Then we had a lamb dish named Lamb Polpetini. It's made in a vibrant tomato sauce with smoked sacrmoza. More like meat balls in tomato sauce. But the smoked flavor was good along with the strong tomato sauce.
Next we had a Pulled Pork Hash Brown which for me was the best dish. It had an egg and lots of bacon. This dish gets addictive the sweet salty and fatty taste just makes it so delicious . Some real good dish. Worth every penny.
For drinks we had the Spicy Conversation and the Coco Jambo. Both of them were nice. But I enjoyed the Spicy conversation more . It goes well with the cheese board.
For mock tails we had Spiced Apple and Smoked Affair. Both of them were good.
For desserts we had a Poached Pear in red wine. Served on a waffle. It's a nice dessert not over sweet but having the wine flavor. Really enjoyed this dessert. But the Dark Chocolate and Olive Oil Mousse was much better and really delicious. Cleaned up the plate. Finger lickin good. The combination of mulberry and dark chocolate was really great. The texture of the olive oil mousse was smooth and delectable. Highly recommended dessert.
Overall we had a great time. The food and drinks enjoyed in the calm of the restaurant just made our day. Really a worth it restaurant and at such reasonable rates for such high quality of food offered. Will be back again soon!

80th Restaurant to be rated a complete 5on5 by me.
266 The Wine Room & Bar is located on Linking Road Bandra and it shares its space with The Great Punjab restaurant.
The restaurant is divided into 2 seating areas and the overall ambiance is modern and elegant. The bar looks great and the information given about wines on the walls is just perfect for a place like this which specialises in serving various types of wines. The seatings are comfortable and options are nice for all size of groups.
The menu contains European & Italian cuisines. The menu is not too big but the options available are satisfactory. The bar menu is amazing as they have kept an amazing variety of wines & cocktails. Prices are at par with similar kind of restaurants and the quantity served is decent.
I went here for lunch and the kitchen service was on time and the table service given by staff Lucy was excellent as she knew the menu well and she was attentive and proactive.
What We Had -
APPETIZERS~
Pan Seared Gnocchi -
Amazingly tender gnocchi done with rocket leaves, garlic, onions and walnuts. This dish had amazing earthiness and it had very light yet perfect flavours.

Perfect soft base topped with generous amount of cheese, button mushrooms, onions, thyme and garlic tasted brilliant. The base was amazing as it was soft plus the toppings were great and the chilli oil served along was too good.
Chicken Barley Risotto -
Tried this version of risotto for the first time and loved it. Barley done in nice amount of cheese and chicken added tasted good. It definitely tastes different from the normal risotto but less on cheese and its not too heavy for the appetite. Loved it.
DESSERTS~
Dark Chocolate & Olive Oil Mousse -
One of the best dark chocolate mousse dessert I have tried in recent times. Dark chocolate & olive oil mousse with cookie crumbs and mulberry tasted amazing. The mousse had amazing fine texture and it was not too bitter as well. Loved every spoon of this.
MOCKTAILS~
Pumba -
Made with cranberry juice & fresh coriander and taste wise very refreshing and the coriander was not overpowering.
The Smoked Affair -
Made with pineapple juice, peach extract, burnt star anise and taste wise amazing as the smoky flavours goes really well with other ingredients.

Ever want to take your partner on a romantic date then 266- The Wine Room and Bar is the best place for you. No wonder it features in the most romantic restaurants in Zomato. The ambience of the place is quite nice and it feels quite peaceful to be here. Also if you are a wine fanatic, then they also have in store some amazing wines🍷 to serve you.
They have an amazing Drinks menu🥂🍸. They serve some of the most amazing Sangrias, Martinis and cocktails.
Speaking about the food, their menu is just fabulous.
I ordered the following:-
I started with the Appetizers and tried The 266 Cheese Board and the Butter Garlic Prawns. The cheeses were Camembert, Pepper Gouda and Cheddar cheese. Served along was a fig jam, some thinly sliced apples, fig slices, pickled veggies and nuts. I just loved it.
The Butter Garlic Prawns is the one I recommend. The prawns were moist and cooked to perfection in that drooling butter sauce and cherry tomatoes.
In the Mains I had the Pulled Lamb Roulard and Spaghetti Pesto Cream with Chicken.
The Pulled Lamb Roulard was a melt in your mouth experience. The meat was moist and it was paired with a creamy polenta and a jus with roasted onions and thinly sliced carrots and zucchini.
The Spaghetti won my heart. Cooked Al dente in the creamy pesto sauce it felt so light and was amazing. The chicken pieces were also moist. I absolutely loved it.
I ended my meal with two great deserts. I had the Panna Cotta and the Dark Chocolate and Olive Oil mousse.
The Panna Cotta was creamy and light. Served along with it some caramelized crisp pineapple slices. Most recommended by me.
The Dark Chocolate Mousses was also good. A bit bitter in taste, it was paired with some Mulberry’s and sprinkled with Himalayan Salt. Loved it
The staff here make you feel comfortable and warm. Overall a beautiful experience.

♨️Recently made a visit to 266- The Wine Room & Bar. The place is based in Linking Road (Bandra). The place is really a hidden gem in Bandra. Describing more about the place, they have exclusive collection of wines (about 100+ types). Well their menu offers different cuisines but mainly it was Modern European cuisine. Another thing too fascinating about 266 was the use of local ingredients for better quality food.
📛Ambience is just a perfect end for a glass of wine with friend or a loved ones. The interiors look classy and warm. The dim lightings and comfort sofa seatings are just perfect for the even@ing. Bar looks classy and elegant. Following are the things which we tried for the evening.

Superb. Crispy lotus chips served with a dip. This dip was really amazing. Loved the dish in all

Potatoes with skin topped with amazing flavored sauce. Was really good.

Basic Pasta made in mix sauce. Perfect taste. Was really good.

Gnocchi dumplings in cheesy sauce. Star Dish of the day.

266 - The Wine Room and Bar, Take a Bow Chef/Owner Sahil Arora & Riddhi Merchant. Some amazing Wine and Food after a long time. Ambiance/Service/Vibe/Food, No Complaints. Linking Road, Mumbai - Needed this. Modern Culinary techniques local produce. Menu is conceived. A small weekly special looks interesting as well. These guys are trying to get back the Wine culture back to India and pairing it with their dishes.
Started off with CHANDON BRUT - (India) Priced at 2600++ (they have happy hours as well) where in it's a steal (1+1) check with the restaurant.
Before I start the food would just like to add, both the chefs are from Le Cordon Bleu (Australia) Breads is I sourced from Alibaug, cheeses from Mumbai/Pune and TN. The list can go on.
Started with Lotus Stem Crisps - Finely sliced and fried. A bit of Gun powder sprinkle to give that flavours and spice hit. Goes well with your wine. Served with Cilantro Mayo dip.
Sweet Potato - Thin slice fried topped with aromatic spices and cilantro. Mayo cilantro dip (a tad oily) both these went well with the wine.
Caprese - Europe is all about this salad. No rocket science. It's all about balancing. Bocconcini/tomato/Basil and a drizzle of Balsamic. Tasted fresh and lovely. Priced at 375+ is a steal.
Octopus - was in 2 minds to try this. Polished it. Braised well (not chewy) tossed perfectly in garlic chilly dry. Nice glaze with a good texture. Went well with the House salad and bread. Squeeze the lemon and one can enjoy this dish. No flaws.
Mushrooms - this was a semi liquid dish made of soy/kale and black rice with sesame. Could have been better. Balance was a bit of a miss here. A bit more of Black rice would have done the trick. It was all soya and spices at the end. MAYBE I asked for a small portion.
Done with Chandon Brut Over to Chandon Rose - India does make lovely sparkling and when the temperature is right it's a delight to sip over some gourmet cuisine.
Polenta - This was different. Round cake with a lovely texture topped with Corn/tomatoes a bit of Onions (guess) tomato chutney and Cream Cheese. Gives a bit of that tangy taste to it. Crunch from the corn as well. Overall a good vegetarian appetizer.
Prawns - medium sized fresh catch with a nice cream sauce with wine cherry tomatoes garlic capers. This has it all. Balance was ok. A tad high of salt. However the prawns were delicious. Try out of you are a seafood lover.
From the Special Menu we asked for 2 mains.
---------------------------------------------------
Dill Infused Fettuccine - Homemade or rather In house. Done perfect. (Italian style) Not to mistake it with the Neapolitan. It's basically a broth which is used. Presentation was simple however the flavours stood out. Exotic vegetables Broccoli/Bocconcini/parsley/mushrooms to name a few. For me this was a good Main dish. One can ask for the Non Veg (chicken as well) priced at 475+
(add 125 for chicken )
Kerala Style Stew - This came as a surprise on the menu. Richness all over. Just amazing. Texture/Balance/taste - perfect combination of coconut/beans/carrots. Served with Malabar Paratha (flaky and light - can't get better) It's a meal by itself. Go for it.
Desserts - One of the best I have had in recent time. It's all about balance here. Dark chocolate & Olive oil Mousse (could not get lighter than this) a bit of Salted nut praline. Orange zest to give that tangy citrus touch topped with Crumb. For me it was a perfect dessert.
Coffee Panna Cotta - a complete miss.
Ended with a 90 ml Dessert Wine - there is no definition for this. A bit sweet. Basically a Red fortified wine which one can consume after meals.
Overall - a small miss here and there. Panna Cotta was a big miss. Would love to be back as there are some mouth watering dishes. Keep it up. All the best and cheers.

In their own words, ‘266 – The Wine Room and Bar ‘ is a place where modern culinary techniques reflect the flavours from different cuisines and create an amalgamation of textures presented in a single plate.
In other words, this is a place that serves some kick-ass food with an amazing array of wine options. This expansive range of wines complements the modern European cuisine served here.
266 is not only a wine-lover’s paradise, but also a gastronome’s heaven. This means that the food here is equally incredible and goes great with the wine offerings. The Lotus stem crisps are a must-have. We also loved their Caponata on toast. For the main course we’d suggest you try their Gnocchi gorgonzola and the Eggplant Involtini. It is safe to say that you could literally order anything on the menu and you won't be disappointed. It is the same with the desserts as well, we tried the Dark chocolate mousse, and we loved it! Also, the Chef (Mr. Sahil Arora) guided us through the wine experience and suggested us the best wines and cocktails that complemented our choice of dishes. Our personal recommendation would be Strawberry Hill.
Their approach towards acquiring the ingredients for their dishes is also very unique. They take a lot of pride in their philosophy of using only locally grown produce. This ensures that the ingredients are fresh and the food is healthier.
The modern vibe of this place makes it a great option to spend an intimate yet fun evening with your friends or family. It is elegant and beautiful. 266 is not just for meal, but it is an experience. It is the perfect culmination of great food and fine wine.
I rediscovered Food and drink yesterday with a lovely animated conversation with one of India's Top Food Critic Antoine Lewis.
An exquisite spread of Hors d'oeuvres and an amazing Wine selection.
The main course was particularly Pleasing both to the eye and palate.
we ended up with 3 desserts two which were very good and one which was okaish

Had an amazing brunch at 266 - the wine room & bar this Sunday
If you are at Bandra and looking for the perfect brunch spot then this is it

The cheese board is a must try here and they’ll suggest you the best wines to pair with it

El cafe was definitely our personal favourite, just so unique
In mains, we tried the open caramelised fig sandwich, a very interesting dish topped with pine nuts, blue cheese and aragula
We also tried the classic carbonara pasta,
we thought it was a little dry but still tasted heavenly
In desserts, we had the beautifully curated dark chocolate mousse
Overall an amazing experience, so many great dishes and cocktails, some so unique that we can’t wait to visit again and try them
