This one's for those who have a thing for regional food or generally for something new! Apyayan in Aundh serves authentic Bengali delicacies! Along with an a-la-carte menu, they also have thalis.

After being a favorite of many Koregaon Park frequenters, Beetroot opened another bistro in Mundhwa. Only bigger, brighter and much more jazzier! Accommodating the very soothing white walls and distressed furniture, complete with fairy lights and bird cages, this place is; gorgeousness! Serving a well-assorted menu of all-day breakfast, great starters, and some continental mains, this is a perfect casual dining choice. Don't miss their hot chocolate! Being pretty new, not many know of this place, so if you want to be tucked away into a great ambience, ditching the city's hustle and bustle, look no further.
5. Zora, Yerawada

Zora is as delightful as its name! From ambience, presentation, staff to the in-betweens, Zora is a pleasure. This new baby on the block should be your first choice (lately) if you are planning a date or just hanging out with the girls. With every detail paid attention to, you cannot miss noticing it. Expect a beautiful blend of North Indian dishes with western flavors. Exotic dishes like mustard and imli glazed salmon, prawn balchao theplas and thandai creme brulee will surprise you among many other whacky dishes on the menu. Zora also hosts acoustic nights, just FYI. And we cannot help mentioning another FYI - Their palate cleanser in between the starters and main course is something!

The quintessential bachelor's hangout, Time Out has all the factors a bachelor would love. Of course, being a sports bar, this place has an uber sporty ambience with a snooker table, foosball, and some more games that you can play on the table (Jenga being one of them). What's more? Along with a well-covered menu, the chef even makes it the way you would like. There is indoor as well as outdoor seating. The music is not bad either! Must go, if you are planning that next night-out with friends.

Perfect to catch up with a friend in the evening, the Hashtag Multicuisine Bistro is a humble bistro with a rooftop as well as an indoor seating. This is ideal for when you want to hang out with your friends, minus the jazz. Sit and admire the cityscape, as you gorge on the perpetual favourites - chilly paneer, chicken lollipop, jalapeno cheese poppers, and the likes. Wash it down, with some super yum shakes - oreo, KitKat, bounty or their signature special, the choice is yours. All this at a good reasonable price. Total chill scenes, we say!
8. Hippie @ heart, F C road

Oh, F C road! This is essentially where the actual 'chill scenes' started way back to probably our grandparents' time! For two main reasons, this practically is the heart of the city and secondly because Pune's first college was established here in 1885 - Fergusson College! So technically, there are more reasons than one, as to why F C road is still a favorite hangout of many. The hanging out, however, has had some major transformation, moving from Vaishali to some local bar cafes! Hippie at heart is one of those factors of transformation. Situated opposite FC's third gate, this is in fact very unlike what you would usually find in the area. The ambience will keep you engaged in spite of the slow service. The menu has some interesting fusion of cocktails, like Malwani cocktails, like Kokam LIT. Perfect for a quick drink post work!
9. Chaitanya Paranthas, Baner

Chaitanya Paranthas has long been a synonym to wholesome lunch for college goers, ever since it first came up opposite Fergusson College. Generously stuffed parantha, topped with a good helping of butter is accompanied by a serving of curd, salad and the classic green chutney. Following this with a glass of a lassi, make for the ideal dolle-sholle wala meal, and here it is not even heavy on your pocket! The menu consists of some great parantha options and some Chinese dishes. The surrounding IT location and many residents from outside the city benefit by this newly opened branch in Baner. Ideal to grab a quick bite as you head back from work or college!

If this sounds like something you would probably do while in Sadashiv Peth, Spice Route has your back!
