This was one impulse lunch outing by myself – a need for good food, good ambience, fabulous service and AC atmosphere, you know, the need for a break and peace and silence usually found in five star hotels. Cubbon Pavilion came up as a topic of discussion with a friend of mine so headed here one noon.
The place was very cool and welcoming and very quiet – just what I needed. After being greeted and seated, I ordered a vegetable clear soup to start with. This came quite umm…unclear but tasty all the same. Could have done with more broccoli pieces. Next was the pasta with veggies in olive oil. This was a very satisfying penne treat. Followed by chocolate ice cream to beat the heat. Very tasty considering I live on chocolate ice cream most times, this had a homemade taste to it. I really liked how they go their way out in making a customer welcome – like while waiting for soup I was served a lot of cut fruits pineapple and watermelons and this made a meal in itself!!
Always attentive, always caring, asking for feedback. Was in a mood to be pampered and I got it. Prices are just any other five star hotel. Ambience was plush. They did have an interesting buffet too but that day I preferred a la carte. What I didn’t care for were the chairs were placed too close to each other and wasn’t all keen to see the next table digging into their chicken with gusto within smelling distance. I hope they will be better spaced out.
Apart from that, loved everything about this place.
Would I go again? Maybe if I am in one of those moods where I just want good food and silence. Not as a regular indulgence.
