Young guests are well entertained at a kiddie corner with staff looking after the younger ones. Older kids have a foosball table at their level, a library of books and board games as well. The children’s buffet has kiddie favorites.

And this is the view from across the pool standing at the Chaat and Indian counters. You could choose the high bar stool like seating which overlooks the pool and is an arm's distance from the salads, paninis and cold cuts counters, or go on ahead and sit under the massive shades, closer to the grills and Asian section. Either ways, Bangalore's weather right now is at its best and this place completely exploits that.


I always like to walk around a buffet spread and make a mental note of where I want to stop and what I want to have. We were started off at the table with pass around starters of Fish Fingers, Chicken Popcorn and Prawn Tempura - each one bang on, on the crunchiness and the feel good factor. The salads and cold cuts are my favourite way to start on a buffet and BG's does not disappoint in both. Yogurt marinated beans with cherries, chicken roulade with cheese and fresh herbs, Grilled pimentos terrine, Gravlax - yes, the salads are not run-of-the-mill - each one has been well thought of and the presentation on some warrant the individual photos below. My picks were the Stuffed Squid with Orange Reduction that you can see in the collage, bottom row middle and the ones below!

Smoked #cinnamon, whiskey, Earl grey and #gin make this fabulous concoction here at the BG's!

There were a few interesting bakes like the Corn and Spinach, Green Pea and Almond, the Cheese Steak with Ratatouille Vegetables. But what I loved the most was the gorgeously set up Pork Belly sitting pretty amidst grilled apples, figs, baby carrot and applesauce.


We then got to the grills, which is the heart of this buffet. All the meats are on display, right next to the pasta counter. Each one with an interesting marinade and hint on its provenance. We sampled a range, and wished we hadn't filled up on the starters and salads. Very few places treat their meats with respect and fewer still that get it right for all their meats. The team here deserves all the credit they get.
