Santé Spa Cuisine: Star Studded All Veg Menu
Santé Spa Cuisine’s all-veg menu — one of the best vegetarian meals I’ve had in Pune. Healthy and tasty — this all day cafe is now one of my favourites.
As a non-vegetarian — I haven’t been this excited about veg food. The folks at Sante Spa Cuisine, along with Chef Shailendra of Stone Water Grill have killed it with the menu. And for a change — a place that’s doing healthy food that actually tastes good. It opened in November, within Hotel Sunderban, and I’m quite surprised that no one on my feed ever mentioned this place.
They’re experimenting with a lot of indigenous veggies and grains — that Bajra Risotto hits the ball out of the stadium. The Spaghetti of Vegetables — a no carb spaghetti some other places have tried doing but haven’t been able to impress — with a mango vinaigrette has really caught my fancy. And oh, that Beetroot Hummus is god damn love. Ended the meal with a Muesli Almond Ice Cream, and the off-the-menu Vanilla Lemongrass Ice Cream with Chia Seeds. The Chocolate Mousse Ice Cream is good as well — but by the end of the stretched out meal — it was too rich to be able to enjoy it as much as the other two scoops.
Santé has a laid-back ambience with an indoors & outdoors seating, and opens at 7am making it a perfect new destination for brunches — and the menu with its light & refreshing palate is something I’m looking forward to during the summers.
