Fabulous Foods: Quench - All Day Pub


                               Quench Your Thirst!


Located among all the coffee shops at Juhu, Gulmohar Road is the Quench -All Day Pub, always willing to quench your thirst! A brilliant place to catch up with friends while enjoying a creative and cozy ambiance, good music, delicious food and a great vibe. Compared to the other slightly pricey drinking places in Juhu, Quench is pocket friendly enough for all college students or those who don't wish to shell out a bomb over a few beers. They have some of the most unique ambiance I've seen in a while with inviting and vibrant colors plastered on the walls in the form of retro art, quotes and paintings of various artists,

They have a wide range of  quirky innovative drinks which might make it hard to decide what you would like to try first, especially if you're looking for something other than the usual beers and shots.
The Quench Highland
We ordered the Quench Highland, a mocktail that made my day. A sweet explosion of flavors on your tongue, this drink takes me back to the days of having multi flavored golas on the beach and left me incredibly refreshed after an exhausting day.


Peanut Butter Chocolate & Banana Milkshake








Their peanut butter chocolate & banana milkshake is a must have for all chocolate lovers who have a soft spot for Reese (the chocolate spread and chocolate brand). A delicious blend of ingredients that go perfectly well together, this milkshake is a must have!
Talking about their food, the restaurant offers you a diverse platter to soothe your palate ranging from sizzlers to Italian to finger foods. Some of their best dishes include their Cottage Cheese Paprika, Paneer Sizzlers and pizza!
The cottage cheese paprika is an appetizer that ought not to be missed, especially for all the vegeterians out there! Served with a beautifully colored sauce and soft, fresh cottage cheese, this dish is just yum!
Paneer Steak Gunzanio Sizzler



The Paneer Steak Gunzanio Sizzler is the right choice if you're looking for some well cooked fettuchi pasta. The cottage cheese steak was soft and fresh made in pepper sauce and served with saute baby corn. A perfect combination of ingredients.
The Paneer Bascilico Sizzler is served with one of the most delicious pesto sauces I've had in a
long time and a Rissoto gone absolutely right. There is nothing about this dish that didn't melt in my mouth and leave me wanting to come back for more,

The pizzas are at par with most other places and nothing extra ordinary. However, if you're looking for a healthy pizza option, then the Exotic Veg Pizza served with several toppings is the way to go.

Last but not the least, the Gnocchi with herb pesto sauce was the best dish on the table that night with perfectly made potatoes and the sauce finished to perfection.

Fabulous Foods: Leo's Boulangerie


         Leo's Boulangerie - A Sugartooth Away! 

On a pleasant evening while I roamed around the Lokhandwala market with a friend, it began raining torrentially and suddenly. We found respite in this small bakery and that's how we stumbled upon this beautiful place.
Located next to a bookshop in Lokhandwala market, Leo's Boulangerie is the perfect cafe for anyone who loves coffee and desserts. They give you the variety to choose beyond the regular Red Velvet or Chocolate Truffle. The food options are innovative and absolutely mouth-watering. They are currently expanding their menu to include snack foods such as pastas, sandwiches and much more.
However, what highlights them so distinctly from all competitors is not only their delicious food but also their incredible customer service. They never fail to greet and serve you with warmth, focusing on the customer more than the sales. This comes off as a welcome surprise where all businesses are focused only on sales and tend to sideline the customer's needs and wants!
My absolute favorite is their Chocolate Opium cake which just happens to melt in your mouth, with a perfect balance between milk chocolate and dark chocolate making you fall in love with every bite.
                         
           Chocolate Opium Pastry                                                    Leo's Famous Leo's Cheesecake!










Their Red Velvet cheesecake is much better than that at most restaurants around as are most of their cheesecakes. Their specialty cheesecake, Leo's Cheesecake, is a Philadelphia baked cheesecake which is a great choice when you want a break from red velvet or chocolate! They have Banana Walnut bread which could entrance with you every slice. And, last but not the least, another one of my favorites is their 3 chocolate cake. That delicious pastry derives a perfect balance among milk,dark and white chocolate as well as between soft cushion textures and a bit of a crunchy bite! 
Red Velvet Cheesecake
They also make customized 3D and picture cakes and are one of the best bakeries in town! 
A quiet cosy place, filled with warmth and gooey goodness, I know for sure that once you go there, you're always going to go back!
