Serafina is a perfect combination of good food and classy ambiance. Their main course is a blend of Indian, Italian and Mediterranean flavors. Some of their delicacies include Mozarella, Mushroom, Chicken Pizza and ham. Those with a sweet tooth should not miss Tiramisu, which is indeed a heavenly delight. The interiors of the restaurant are posh and all its customers are given a lavish treatment. However, all the dishes are a little highly priced thus making it an expensive place to dine. Nevertheless, it is a good place to visit once in a while.
This is Kolkata's version of the real Moulin Rouge in Paris, complete with the trademark windmill at its entrance. Although it has no cabaret performances today, it was known to be much like the original, albeit less extravagant, in its golden years. Around the 1960s musical soirees were the norm and the entire place would resound with laughter and celebration that would continue till the wee hours of the morning. The sense of nostalgia may not touch upon a first time visitor, but the interiors do hold precious clues to the past. With Indian, Continental, Chinese, French and Italian preparations on offer, Moulin Rouge is a great place for a good evening out with friends even today. The Fish and Chips perfectly compliment drinks and the Chicken Tetrazzini is a highly recommended main course option. The lack of live music is a definite letdown, but the restaurant never lets you down when it comes to good tasting food.
Located on the top deck at The Floatel, The Bridge is a multi-cuisine restaurant serving interesting preparations from the Colonial, Anglo-Indian and Bengali cuisines. 'Baked Fish Patricia Memsaab' and 'Chicken Country Captain' are just few of the interesting names on the menu. While ordering from the a la carte menu is always fun, if you want it simple, you can always opt for the lunch buffet. The most interesting way to dine here is out on the large patio, where the open sky above and the Hooghly River under create a different ambiance of their own. If you still feel something missing, the fully equipped bar should help.
