Forget Brunch, “Lunchish” at Lovefools Is the New Midday Ritual

We all love brunches, but this new concept of Lunchish by Lovefools takes us beyond the conventional midday rituals to offer something more. Tucked away in the whimsical bylanes of Bandra, Lovefools doesn’t just serve food; it spins tales, stirs emotions, and invites you into a world where tradition flirts playfully with innovation.

Inside Lovefools: Where Time Slows and Stories Simmer
Step inside this charming Bandra restaurant and you’re swept into a Goan reverie. Set in a restored heritage bungalow, Lovefools is a vibe—sunlight dances across terrazzo floors, arched wooden doorways open into pastel-toned rooms, and each space feels like a lovingly preserved memory.

Vintage walls, colonial furniture, and chandeliers lend an old-world romance. A handwritten book lies open beside a vase of blooms, waiting to be read. Velvet corners invite slow conversations, and the long communal table sparks shared laughter.

Wander into the courtyard, and things shift. Tables in gingham sit under a lush canopy of ferns, a tree trunk grows right through the floor, and a disco ball winks from above. At Lovefools, nothing is taken too seriously—except joy.

This isn’t just a meal. It’s a chance to pause, to indulge, to slip into a midday dream. You don’t dine at Lovefools. You dwell in it.

The Food: Global Fusion Daydream
This isn’t your average midday meal. The Lunchish menu is a love letter to both memory and wanderlust, gleefully jumping continents while keeping its heart rooted in local soul. A match made in fusion cuisine heaven!

• The Jay Fai Bucket List is a bold mashup—Bangkok’s street-style crab omelette meets Kerala’s coconut-laced moilee curry. Comfort food, jet-lagged in the best way.
• Sawadee Mango Toast brings slivers of ripe mango layered with Thai chilli-lime papaya salad and creamy peanut dressing. Brunch, but with fire.
• Gambas Al Ajillo is a tapas dream—prawns sizzling in chilli garlic oil, fermented Spanish chilli, saffron aioli, and toasted brioche. Rich and share-worthy.
• Crispy Chicken 65 gets a glam makeover with Chinese plum glaze, curry leaves, and scallions. Sticky, spicy, addictive.

This isn’t a quick bite—it’s weekday dining in Mumbai made memorable.

The Cocktails: Bandra in a Glass
Curated by mixologist Sachin, Lovefools’ cocktails are love letters to the neighbourhood—clever, playful, hyperlocal.

• Shirley is pure summer: watermelon, Stranger & Sons gin, and feta. Refreshing with a wink.
• Salsette blends gin with betel leaf—herbaceous and complex.
• Chimbai mixes tequila, pandan, and grapefruit—evoking Bandra's coastal nostalgia.
• Monika is bold: vodka, beetroot, and Bloody Mary mix with dijon, thyme, and lime. Not for the faint-hearted.

Each drink is a tribute to cocktail culture in Bandra, drawing from local ingredients and stories.

The Experience: Eat Slow, Feel More
Lunchish isn’t just about what’s on your plate—it’s about losing track of time. It’s that second cocktail that turns into a third. That bite that tastes like your grandmother’s cooking, but in a whole new form. It’s more indulgent than dinner and less rushed than brunch.

At Lovefools, innovation is instinctive. From oyster ice cream to ramen gazpacho, their menus read like poetry. But Lunchish is their most effortless idea yet. No pretence. Just pleasure.

Final Takeaway
If brunch feels basic and lunch feels like a meeting, Lunchish at Lovefools is your delicious middle ground. Rooted yet restless, dreamy yet modern—it’s a mood that’s hard to shake.

So drop in. Stay longer than you planned.
No bookings, no pressure. Just Bandra charm, inventive fusion food, and midday magic.
