The best brunch spots in Mumbai

What is it: Bandra’s shapeshifting neighbourhood bar that doubles as a lounge

Why we love it: The vibes and booze fit any weekend at this Bandra haunt, and you can count yourself lucky if you snag a table. Around since 2013, it’s been consistent in how it delivers. Mimosas, mai tais, and other heady mixes are staples, sure, but brunches are certified wine o’clock, and this spot’s got a good range of international and domestic labels. The food’s a mix of comfort and progressive experimentation with glocal flavours – their Daily Fried Chicken’s a must try. Brownie points go to its friendly and helpful staff, and if you get to meet their legend, Bablu bhai, then you know you’re sorted.

Time Out tip: Don’t bother coming here on the weekend without a reservation. You’re never going to get in. 

Price: ₹2,500 for two without alcohol

Timings: 5pm-1.30am (Mon-Thurs), 12.30pm-1am (Fri-Sun)

Address: Ground floor, Swami Vivekanand Rd, behind Shoppers Stop, Bandra West, Mumbai, 400050

What is it: Many would call this the OG brunch place

Why we love it: Back when brunches were strictly limited to five-star hotels, Olive by AD Singh became the go-to spot in the city. The Bandra outlet continues to hold the spot to date. A long-standing favourite (read: since 2000), Olive sees a posh clientele, and celebrities are often papped outside the Santorini-inspired blue door. The pebbled courtyard with a signature white-and-blue aesthetic has been Instagrammable since long before the word was even coined. 

In the league of brunch menus in Mumbai today, Olive holds a legendary status. Their salads, gnocchis, tartines, eggs, breakfast bowls, and curated drinks menu give you a day-party feel. Getting a table on a Sunday is difficult, but not impossible.

Time Out Tip: they take an advance-only payment for brunch.

Price: ₹3,000+ per person (food only) | ₹5,000 per person (with alcohol)

Timings: Mon-Sun. 12pm-1am.

Address: 14, Union Park, Khar West, Mumbai, 400052

What is it: The first Mumbai restaurant to spearhead the farm-to-table philosophy, introduce the small plates concept, and win accolades for it

Why we love it: The bigger question is, who doesn’t? The Table, Gauri Devidayal and Jay Yousuf’s first venture, arrived in 2011 as a departure from the traditional fine-dining landscape that was plastered all over Mumbai. Their farm-to-table ethos – one of the first in the city – is their brand DNA. That’s further cemented by their produce that comes straight from The Table Farm, their one-acre farmland in Alibaug. 

For brunches, they have a refined à la carte menu with a San Francisco-inspired flair. Eggs, toast, pancakes, waffles and all the usual brunch suspects. Under Chef Will Aghajanian, a change in stewardship, The Table is prioritising comfort and simplicity while adapting global techniques to deliver local flavours. Their 20-foot Burma teak table is perfect for a large brunch crowd.

Price: ₹5,000 for two

Timings: Mon: 12pm-3.30pm and 6.30pm-12am, Tues-Sat: 12pm-3.30pm and 6.30pm-12.30am, Sun: 11am-3.30pm and 6.30pm-12.30am

Address: Ground Floor, Kalapesi Trust Building, opposite Dhanraj Mahal, Apollo Bandar, Colaba, Mumbai, 400039

What is it: An award-winning SoBo restaurant by Chef Alex, who worked at The Table for several years before starting his own farm-to-table restaurant in Mumbai’s art district

Why we love it: Chef Alex Sanchez and restaurateur Mallyeka Watsa’s Kala Ghoda gem masters seasonal ingredients and artisanal techniques. Its large ceilings, muted yet chic décor, and big windows pass the brunch vibe check with (ironically) flying colours. They only serve lunches over the weekend, but it corresponds well enough with brunch hours. Their kale salad, burrata, black truffle cacio e pepe, crispy Brussels sprouts, sweetcorn ribs, butter garlic crab, and pizzas are particularly good. The concoctions here are noteworthy and syrup-free. In fact, they use fruits, in-house tinctures and ferments, and spices to craft their cocktails. 

Time Out tip: The Tiramisu Americano is touted to be the best in the city.

Price: ₹3,000-₹4,000 for two (food only)

Timings: Sat-Sun, 12pm-4pm for lunch.

Address: 121/123 Radha Bhavan, Nagindas Master Road, Kala Ghoda, Fort, Mumbai, 400001

What is it: A cocktail-forward watering hole in Pali Hill that does brunches so well that sundowners here have extended party hours

Why we love it: At this Bandra eatery every Sunday, sangrias, martinis, whisky sours, and picantes are bottomless, plus there’s a rotational food menu that keeps switching between their crowd faves. Think eggs, sandwiches, strips, poke bowls, dimsums, pizzas and more crowd-pleasers. Owned by Shahrom Oshtori, this neighbourhood bar has come to be a go-to spot for Bandraites. It’s named sixteen33 because it stands at the junction of 16th and 33rd Road in Pali Hill.

Price: ₹2,000+ per person for unlimited food | ₹3,500++ per person for unlimited food and alcohol

Timings: Sun. 1pm-4pm (the time for Bottomless Picante Brunch – such a delightful name).

Address: 16th and 33rd Cross Road, Pali Hill, Mumbai, 400050

What is it: Brunch-appropriate vibes with a side of quirk, and a chance to roam in a back alley, Tokyo-style

Why we love it: Chef Anand Morwani is honest about not attempting to serve ‘authentic’ Japanese fare. Instead, the menu is his interpretation of looking in from the outside. Some excellent picks are spinach gyoza, spicy prawn & avocado maki, and slow-cooked lamb ribs. Dessert fans, don’t miss the miso-kissed banoffee. Cocktails and interiors are both Tokyo-themed!  

Price: ₹4,000 for two with alcohol

Timings: Tues-Sun. 12pm-3pm and 7pm-1.30am. Mon closed.

Address: Gaijin, Lotia Palace, Linking Rd, Opp. Citibank, Khar West, Mumbai, 400052

What is it: A Sunday-best affair that balances a hyper-local focus with its next-door neighbour The Dimsum Room’s flavours

Why we love it: Ever since Hylo opened in Kala Ghoda in 2024, it’s perfected hyper-local cuisines. Right next door is The Dimsum Room, which serves over 50 types of dimsums. And, at the centre of it all on Sundays is their All In Brunch hosted at Hylo. It boasts grazing tables, live stations, classic dishes, and a dim sum spread only amplified by the signature cocktails and low ABV options. The menu keeps changing, but their signature plates and cocktails stay. It only helps that the experience takes place inside a century-old building in the heart of the city’s art district.

Time Out Tip: Their Hong Kong-style French toast at the live station is lovely.

Price: ₹3,999+ per person for bottomless brunch with alcohol for adults | ₹2,499+ for food only for adults | ₹1,499+ for kids below 12 

Timings: Sun for brunch: 12pm-5pm.

Address: 2nd Floor, Building 30, K Dubash Marg, Kala Ghoda, Fort, Mumbai, 400001

What is it: An à la carte Iberian meal by a Spanish chef that has the city loca about its paellas, interiors and heady tipples 

Why we love it: Chef Manuel Olveira and wife Pratima (Mickee) Tuljapurkar’s first restaurant whips up a modern Spanish fare like no other in Mumbai. Since its opening in 2019, it's been a go-to spot for gourmands for paellas, carpaccios, and an assortment of tapas. When Chef Olveira opened La Loca, he dedicated it to his mother Maria, who instilled in him his passion for cooking. For brunch, gambas al ajillo, mushroom & truffle croquettes, pincho de calamares, coca de jamon, and of course, the paellas are a must-try.

Time Out Tip: Book a table at least a week in advance, especially if going on a Sunday.

Price: ₹4,000+ for two with alcohol

Timings: Tues-Sun. 12pm-3.30 pm and 7pm-1am. Mon closed.

Address: Fatima villa, 29th Road, Bandra West, Mumbai, 400050

What is it? A non-boozy, coffee-fuelled brunch spot on Hill Road for the sober-curious 

Why we love it: Millennials are bound to have a nostalgia-filled time in these vintage interiors. Husband and wife Priyanka and Kushal Kotak started this 2,400 sq ft spot in honour of their two-year-old’s obsession with food.Their pizzas, pastas, and signature coffees should make the cut for brunch – specific recommendations would be the thecha prawns pizza, ghee roast ravioli, and butterfly lychee matcha.

Time Out tip: Very kid-friendly – your toddler will be blissfully occupied, leaving you to dine in peace.

Price: ₹2,800 for two 

Timings: Mon-Sun, 12pm-4am.

Address: Khan House, 301, Hill Road, Ranwar, Bandra West, Mumbai, 400050
