Gnocchi good!!!
we landed up here for a friends treat on a weekday evening.
Parking was no problem - the valet was very effecient. Looking inside, we were the only ones there at 7.30 in the evening.
A complimentary sugarcane juice was offered which was very different from the cane-o-la's around. Different taste with a hint of ginger.
I can talk a lot about the food, but I'll stick to the gnocchi. I luvvv Italian food-not the sauce dripping stuff, but just pasta with the right kind of cheese. On a whim, I ordered the gnocchi with asparagus spears. It was unbelievably good. Just the right amount of flour made the pasta literally melt in your mouth. The side of slivers of parmeggiano romano was heavenly along with the perfectly cooked asparagus.
I complemented the chef who was only too willing to share his recipe. Now if I could only actually see him make it, that would have been great.
All in all, a very good place to eat - just that it may not be the greatest place for Indian food. I tried some of the standard xxxmakhani and roti's. They were ok, nothing to write home about.

A flavoursome bouquet indeed!
I had been to 'Bouquet' at F & B with a couple of friends for lunch on a weekday, so most of the tables were empty. One of my friends had her young son with her - and he had a really great time! There is a play area with toys and games for children which he thoroughly enjoyed, and the waiters were all very kind in entertaining him every now and then!
The cocktails, starters and main courses were very good - I especially loved my Blue Bayou and Vegetable Fricasee, and my friends liked their Lemon-n-Thyme Chicken and Peking Duck too. The only disappointment was that the restaurant did not have its signature dessert whose description was really interesting (sorry ma'am, Monday afternoon an' all that...) so we settled for a strawberry and lemon trifle that was....nice.
I wish they had a larger selection for vegetarians in the Italian food menu and of course, better desserts. I also wonder how the 'non-smoking' area works, as it is not in a separate room like in Little Italy or Sunny's. No point really, if the smoke wafts from one side of the room to the other - we were lucky none of the other guests were smoking that day.
I would definitely recommend this restaurant highly - provided one doesn't mind shelling out a really meaty amount. I, for one, am eagerly looking forward to my next trip to 'Bouquet'.

My Favourite Restaurant in Bangalore!
Firstly, a little clarification, 'F & B' is the group of eating places that exist in this building just off St. Marks Road. There is a restaurant called 'Bouquet', a lounge / pub called 'Madira', a completely exclusive extreme fine dining place called 'The Jacket Room' and a pastry shop called 'La Pastrie' or something like that ... these French spellings always put me in a fix.
My review is for the restaurant 'Bouquet' that belongs to this group.
The place is quite refreshingly different from any other I have seen around here. It is big and airy and there is a lot of natural light which immediately makes you very comfortable.
The seating is well spaced out and the service is excellent! The waiters are knowledgeable and very often their recommendations are the best thing to go by because of the variety in the menu. I did that for the first few visits and was not disappointed at all!
I am a big fan of the Mediterranean cuisine and love the 'Tapas' that these guys make. Tapas being an assorted collection of breads and cheese and dips along with olives and pickled peppers.
I cannot pick one particular dish that I loved because there were so many and all of them done excellently!
This has become my favourite restaurant in Bangalore by far and everyone who I have taken there seem to agree.
It is an excellent choice if you want to make someone feel special at a dinner or a lunch. The entire dining experience is just perfect. This is the definition of fine dining!
And if this was not enough, they have 3 other eateries in the same building and the 'Jacket Room' is supposed to take fine dining to the extreme.
An average meal for two with drinks and dessert will be about Rs. 1500/- but it will be worth every rupee spent.
