Ah, the flavors of Europe! Who doesn’t love the cheese-laden pastas, crispy thin-crust pizzas fresh out of the oven, and tender roasts from the Continent? As a self-proclaimed foodie, I’m always craving these tastes of faraway lands. Lucky for us Gurgaon folks, Continental Restaurants in DLF Pahse 2 is a haven for delicious European and Continental grub.
Join me on an eating tour through my picks for the top spots to get your fill of Continental cuisine. Andiamo!
Restaurant #1: Chef’s Table
Modern European ★★★★1⁄2
Led by chef Deepak Shirur, Chef’s Table brings a slice of London’s food scene to Gurgaon with its ever-changing modern European menu. Order up multiple small plates tapas-style and get ready for a flavor party!
My favorites include the lamb boti tacos with feta sprinkles, Parmesan truffle fries loaded with cheese and herbs, and the melt-in-your-mouth 48-hour cooked pork belly. Make sure to save room for dessert – their ras malai brûlée fuses Indian flavors seamlessly into a French classic. With exposed brick walls, tattooed waitstaff and rock music, the industrial-chic ambiance matches the devil-may-care attitude toward cooking. Prices err on the higher side but the first-rate fare is worth a slight splurge!
Restaurant #2: Imperfecto
Italian & Continental ★★★★✩
Craving hand-tossed Neapolitan pizza with delightfully charred edges? Imperfecto brings authentic Italian soul food with pride to Continental Restaurants in DLF Pahse 2. The pizza chef busily stretches dough behind a glass wall before creating gorgeously imperfect oblong pies topped with ingredients like prosciutto ham, burrata cheese and truffle paste.
Beyond pizza, be sure try their creamy mushroom risotto or the stellar tiramisu for dessert. With checkered tablecloths, opera music and a breezy alfresco seating area, the decor transports you straight to the streets of Italy. Expect pricing suited for special occasions rather than everyday dining.
Restaurant #3: The Irish House
Gastropub ★★★★✩
Get a taste of Irish hospitality, literally, at this gastropub chain bringing the best of British Isles fare to India. Strike up a friendship with the friendly bartender while you munch on starters like the Scotch egg wrapped in sausage or the Irish lamb stew well-seasoned with thyme. Make sure you pair your food with an Irish red ale or cider on draft.
Beyond expected fish n’chips and shepherd’s pie mains, they also serve Continental classics like German pork schnitzel and Spanish paella rice. The warm hardwood decor filled with football memorabilia creates a lively neighborhood pub vibe. Pricing is quite accessible, especially during happy hours when drinks and bar nibbles are attractively discounted.
Restaurant #4: Chaat Cafe
European Comfort Food ★★★★✩
Though named for Indian street food, Chaat Cafe focuses its menu on European comfort eats at wallet-friendly rates. Their all-day breakfast menu starring dishes like Continental (a omelette-toast combo) or waffles drenched in chocolate goo pair perfectly with iced cappuccinos or cold coffees.
Come lunch/dinner time, expect greasy spoon specialties like fish n’ chips, chicken stroganoff loaded over pasta and mashed potato bowls loaded with meat stews and vegetables. With quirky pop art adorning the walls and cushy lounge seating, the atmosphere is kept casual yet upbeat. Affordable pricing makes repeat visits tempting!
Restaurant #5: The Irish House
Steakhouse & European ★★★★★
Make your way to DLF Place for a truly special meal at IL Forno, known for its premium imported meats and wine list boasting 250+ labels. Get your fill of premium steak cuts and meat mains from France, Australia, Argentina and Spain fired up expertly on their wood-fired oven and charcoal grill. Seafood lovers shouldn’t miss options like grilled jumbo prawns, lobster Thermidor or Norwegian style salmon.
Complement your meal with French wines or sangria cocktails. With exposed brick walls, velvet chairs, darkened interiors and Rat Pack music setting the mood, the overall ambiance evokes an old world charm. Given the specialty ingredients, Il Forno’s prices sit firmly in special occasion territory, but discerning carnivores swear it’s worth the occasional indulgence.
