There are advantages of being part of various food groups in the city on social media. That's how I heard about this place Mon Cheri in Indiranagar. Located just five minutes away from where I live. I was surprised I dint know about this place till I saw a post on FB. It's on CMH road and a quiet cozy cafe. Once inside it is quite easy to shut out the noise from the main road. Lovely interiorswith soft lights and comfy seats.
I visited this place twice and got takeaways so this review is for all of them. This review is only for the vegetarian section of the menu. What I had:
Mocktail: Shirley temple...strawberry, orange and lime soda - ice cold and much needed to beat the heat.
Avocado salad very light and fresh with greens and veggies. I found it a tad salty but enjoyed it.
Veg croquettes crispy hot finger food..6 pieces with mayonnaise on the side. Very tasty
Being summer I found this quite filling by itself. I got ravioli and a cheesecake for dinner. Ravioli is a must try here. Drool worthy, creamy and herby dough pockets. I'll definitely go back for this. Cheesecake was good too.
For my second visit I had vegetable croquettes again and garlic flat bread which was okayish. I've had better. Blue pacific drink consisting of citrus pineapple and blue curaçao was delicious. I do have a thing for ice cold blue drinks.
Vegetable burger as takeaway. This was quite a letdown. Burger felt hard and dry. I wish they did include Fries and gherkins as mentioned in their menu in the parcel but overall not that great.
Millionaire's tart (what a name!)for a chocolatey dinner dessert..This was good.
I personally found the menu limited for vegetarians especially those who don’t even eat mushrooms. Another two or three visits and I'd probably finish tasting everything there on the menu...then what??
Service is prompt and friendly. Prices are reasonable. Good for groups and good if you want to catch up for a long chat with a friend. There's nobody breathing down your neck here which greatly appealed to me.
Would I recommend to others: Definitely. Do give this place a try.
Would I go again? Yes, to have more of the mocktails, ravioli and try a few other items.
