Bespoke Cafe, Palladium Mall

I heard about Bespoke Cafe over one casual lunch at TGIF. I was convinced that no such cafe existed in Palladium mall because I am aware of every nook and corner of that shopping haven. Yet she insisted that such a cafe exists because she had read about on a website and was keen to try it out. So we cancelled our order at TGIF and went looking out for this so called cafe. Thankfully, the legend was true and we found this tiny cafe tucked inside the store, The Collectives. A first glance the cafe reminded me of a library. Massive sofas with massive chairs which looked very comfortable and but turned out to be sort of hard to sit on. The wooden menu is limited with hardly twenty items and consists mainly of sandwiches, teas, pastas, wine and couple of desserts. I ordered the spaghetti with creamy Cajun sauce and chicken and turned out to be excellent. Spicy Cajun gravy with succulent chicken pieces made the dish a filling and gratifying meal. The side order was of Cajun French fries which were good too considering it was nice change from the regular French fries. Their chicken sandwich is big and filling and comes with the option of brown, whole wheat or white bread. The waiters are friendly but it took forever for the bill to arrive even when the place was almost empty. It’s easy to find a seat in Bespoke because of its anonymous stature. Most shoppers don’t know that such an eatery exists and even if they catch a glance of it, most regular fold are too intimidated to enter the super sleek and not to forget expensive looking store of The Collectives. Overall, it’s a great place to catch a quite meal or a cup of coffee. Hopefully, it won’t become a popular hangout spot and maintain its quaint seclusion.

Meal for two with drinks and dessert: 1000 bucks.
