• Graceful Swan

  LIke the metamorphosis of the Ugly Duckling into a Graceful Swan as commonly believed in the fairlytale ..the place metamorphosises from a run of the mill featureless office building into a cozy little restaurant once you enter the place.
  Black colour and wood dominate this place and it is unpretentious like their food. The place is roomy with a cozy corner overlooking a TV. It could have been someone's living room...well almost.
  There was fresh draught beer to quench my thirst on a chilly winter evening :-). With it went a Roesti- a potato fritter notable for the absence of oil and... read more

• Worth another visit?

  I stumbled across Ugly Duckling thanks to burrp.com. Finding decent continental restaurants in North Bangalore can be quite a chore and the positive reviews put this place on my "must try" list.
  
  I finally got to go to Ugly Duckling on a sleepy Saturday afternoon post a disappointing film at Sigma Mall. The restaurant is on the quieter end of Miller's Road - near St.Ann's School and the new Safina Towers.You enter the nondescript office block, ride up to the 5th floor and enter the cozy little place that is Ugly Duckling.
  
  We started out with a Caesars salad and an ice tea... read more

• Potential potential..

  I've been to this restaurant twice and both the times the food started out to be worthy of a 5 starrer but it wasnt consistent.As always, I start off with the ambience, its very quaint,quiet,private and a cute lounge of sorts where you can simply laze.The lighting and artsy wall hangings dont fit into the theme of the restaurant but would rather go perfectly with a more rodeo type of restaurant.What I got of the ambience was, it tried too hard to fit into a certain British feel but it didnt quite get there.
  
  For starters, I had Egg Mimosa,which was halved boiled eggs(this is a cold appetiser)... read more

• A little more 'service', perhaps

  I'd heard a lot about this new place on Millers Road, and was quite intrigued by it's name and the fact that it served Greek and European cuisine piqued my curiosity enough to make me want to try it out. The restaurant is owned by an Indian and a Danish national, and it's named after Hans Christen Andersen's famous story. The interiors of this place are pretty decent, and the wall is full of paintings which I thought gave the sense that they were trying hard to establish a European connection which seemed a little desperate.
  
  We started off with iced teas, and for appetizers we ordered... read more
