Oceanic Bistro is the newest little place located in the midst of the hustle & bustle of MG road Pune. The location is right in the midst of many shops but when you spot this huge wooden door with pretty French windows on the first floor, then you know that you are in the right place.
This beautiful new restaurant has a very bistro-like menu which offers quite a few seafood delicacies ranging from starters till the mains.
Among starters, one should definitely try are the Butter Garlic Prawns which are delicately sautéed in butter & garlic. Fried food lovers should go for the Arancini Balls which are essentially the traditional risotto balls fried & served with a very tasty mango salsa sauce & on a bed of salsa.
Talking of the main course, Pattra Ni Macchi is a must have which is a delicate Bhetki fish with a green paste of chilli, coriander & coconut which is wrapped in a banana leaf & is steamed.
If you happen to have a large appetite then the Red Snapper Feast is something that one can truly relish. Safely I can say it is their star dish of a huge portion of 1 kg Red snapper marinated in coriander, kasundi & green chilli served with a coconut curry, steamed rice & a house made whole Malabar parotta.
We also tried the dessert, Thandai Panacotta which was the grand finale to the entire meal. It is a beautiful Italian dessert with an Indian twist of Thandaai syrup.
This menu has been conceptualised by a very well known chef from the very fancy London Taxi restaurant from Mumbai & he has aptly been able to showcase his talents after having received inputs from the owner who is a seafood lover.
This place is currently only serving refreshing mocktail variations which go very well with the food. I sure am looking forward to trying their Cocktails once they get their liquor license.
For me, this place is a must go-to after a morning full of shopping on MG road. It truly serves Food for the Soul !!!
