L&S Bistro & Pizzeria — Restaurant in Mumbai

Long and Short - Intercontinental, Sunday Brunch. Interesting spread. From Cold cuts/ mezze / Starters (veg, Non Veg) Live counter (Italian) Popcorn machine / Mains and some amazing alcohol. Prices range from 1900+ to 3500+this place is known for Its Pizzas, Cocktails, Pasta, salad and sushi (They had it all on the Brunch)

Started off with some cold cuts - Chicken Wrapped with Stuffed Avocado (subtle) done well. Shrimps with Papaya Salad - served in a short glass, small size shrimp, tangy and good. Parma Ham with Mixed Greens and Grilled Pineapple was good. Had the smokiness'.

Mezze - Hummus was salty and texture was just about Okay. Nothing great. Below average. Tzatziki on the other hand was lovely. Had a lovely texture and balance was good? Baba Ganoush made well, balanced it perfect.

Loved the coconut Panacota with Tempered Mustard seeds and Mango Bhel served in a martini glass (tangy/spicy) Sushi was made well. Cheese Counter had some impressive collection. Went well with the crackers. Couscous salad with pomegranate and bell pepper was good so was Plum with Bocconcini cheese in coriander Pesto (something different)

Service could have been better as starters took a while to come on the table - Soup of the day, Hot and Sour (spicy/peppery - good) Classic Paneer Tikka lacked texture and was dry. Avocado on Toast with roasted bell pepper presented well with micro greens as garnish. Taste was subtle. Crispy Tempura with Togarashi lacked the Punch. Pizzas were fantastic. Lovely crust/Sheen and taste. Non Veg - Afghani Chicken tikka was made well with balance of spices (served cold though) Fish Amritsari did not come to the table. Lamb Meatballs (skipped it) Opted for Smoked Chicken Pizza which missed the smokiness.

Sada dosa with 3 types of chutney was made well, came piping hot. Mains - Mushroom and Spinach Lacunae was lovely (balance/texture/flavours) Wok tossed Noodles went well with the dips served. Stir Fried Chicken with Asian Vegetables tossed well with had a spicy taste to it. Loved the Kerala Fish curry went well with Steamed rice. Intercontinental is known for Dal Makhani and Chicken Mughlai Biryani (Must have it)

Pasta - Penne Arrabiata was just perfect. Had that Punch and flavours with Olive and parmesan as a garnish.

Intercontinental is known for its dessert - be it the black forest which was amazing or the chocolate cake.

Ended with a double shot of espresso.

Overall a nice Sunday spent. Service could have been a bit better. Apart from that...

I recently visited Long and Short:- Gastrobar, which is located inside the Intercontinental hotel at Marine Drive. So I went down to the place on a Sunday afternoon around 1pm. The place has a really nice vibe and one of the best views you could get in Mumbai. There are two different sections. First one is an indoor A/C section with a good amount of seating capacity and also this is where they have set up the buffet. Second section is the most beautiful section since it is out in the open, giving you the view of the Pacific Ocean and all of Marine Drive which holds a special place in the hearts of all Mumbaikars.

We started off with starters which were on rotation by the server's, they were :- KEBAB:- kebab were a bit dry and bit hard to cut it down, served with mint green chuntey. ASPARAGUS TOAST:- well toasted small piece of toast topped with asparagus paste over it with sour cream which was delicious.

Then we headed to try out the buffet. We started with:- HUMMUS AND PITA BREAD with mutliple dips to try with, a must try dish. CORN AND PEA CAKE:- half position of corn and half position of pea both are mash and joined with a cream. Sort of a healthy dish which i liked alot. Cheese And Crackers:- Crackers and different types of Chesse. WATERMELON AND FETA CHEESE:- watermelon cut in circular shape with feta cheese over it, this is my all time favorite dish. BIRYANI:- biryani fragrance is really tempting but it did not have enough vegetables , as a normal traditional biryani should. It was just rice with very minimal vegetables and biryani masala. Moreover , a biryani without raita always feels incomplete to me. SUGGESTION:- Add more veggies in the biryani so it could be more alive and appealing and also to have raita. Steamed Rice And Dal:- simple steamy rice with dal were much better than the biryani. They even had one live counter of Maggi.

Service is good over here as staff is super friendly and they were in a continuous rotation of serving the starters, attending their guest and at clearing up the table. Ambiance is good too with on going music to keep their bit entertain.

Taste:- 3.5 Ambiance:-4 Service:-4.5 Value...

Long and Short Bistro is revamped with a new menu and I happen to visit here on a weekend for lunch.

It's on the first fooor of the Intercontinental, Marine Drive. A scenic view of the sea takes your breath away.

There's a cute bicycle on the entrance and there is also an open pizza oven where you can see the pizzas being made live.

The decor is a mix of white and black and the marble effect to the bar really enhances the look of the whole place.

Crackling Chicken - Chicken pieces coated with breadcrumbs and fried to a crispness. Served along with fries and salad. The chicken was cooked thoroughly and tasted great. Fries and salad as accompaniment went good.

L & S Nachos - Nachos is something that I enjoy every time. Crispy nachos topped with refried beans, cheese sauce and salsa. Loved it. Pair this with your favorite beer.

Burrata Pugliese - My favorite salad till date. Fresh mozzarella sitting on a bed of rocket leaves, lettuce and kale and beetroot and asparagus on the side. The salad was absolutely refreshing and delicious.

Meat House Pizza - We wanted to try the meat house but without pork so the chef was kind enough to substitute the pork for the smoky chicken. Crispy base and tangy sauce along with chicken and cheese, tasted yumm. The pizza made us full very soon.

For the desserts we tried the Waffle with Icecream.

4 pieces of crispy waffle garnished with whipped cream and blueberries and served with 4 different dips - Maple syrup, honey, blueberry compote and chocolate syrup. It took a while for the order to come but it was worth it. Waffles were crispy on the outside and soft in between. Tasted good with all the dips. And the icecream on the side was like a cherry on top.

The service is a tad bit slow but it will go unnoticed because of the good time here with the sea view.

Staff is well versed with the dishes and help you with the dilemma of ordering. Pricing is a little on the higher side but its a good place to indulge...
