Restaurant:
Located in the heart of downtown Bangalore, Caperberry is a destination with many different dimensions.

Tapas Lounge:
The intimate Spanish-influenced Tapas lounge is infused with some of the finest lounge music. It sets the mood for a relaxed, enjoyable evening over fine eclectic cocktails, single malts, wines and much more. Interactive personalized service makes the Caperberry lounge an ideal space for business meetings but also a great place to hang out with friends. The Tapas Menu brings forth authentic Spanish flavours. Sangrias and sherry cocktails accompanied by delectable short eats made from fresh and artisan Spanish ingredients set the tone for a perfectly chilled evening.

Recommendation
I was not sure what to expect with Caperberry, with Abhijit’s reputation. I took it for granted that the food would be exceptional, but could Abhijit bring anything different to the ‘table’ (apologies for the pun) in terms of the dining experience? The answer is ye., The restaurant is quietly understated, the style contemporary, a little minimalist with a few touches to make it a little more comfortable.
The food is superb. I do not need to say anything else.
