Cafe mondegar art images free download

So, this liking of mine, this time, took me to the very famous Cafe Mondegar Mumbai, which is located in Metro House in Colaba Causeway and is just m from the Gateway of India.

During my trip from Jabalpur to Bangalore, I had a stopover of five hours. So, I thought to use it wisely and took a tour to very famous Gateway of India and had a delicious lunch at Cafe Mondegar. You can read the blog about my journey to Gateway of India here. Cafe Mondegar, established in the year , is one of the oldest and most iconic bars and restaurants of Mumbai.

It, also, is the first restaurant, which houses a jukebox. I have visited Leopold Cafe twice and found it quite good, but not excellent. I felt it is a little overhyped. So, I thought to try something new but special. After a little bit of research and taking the help of locals, I found Cafe Mondegar.

Cafe Mondegar is in the same lane as of Leopold Cafe. Once you enter the Cafe Mondegar, you will be welcomed by one of the staff, which will guide you to your table. As I was alone, he offered me to take the table located in the corner from where I can see the whole cafe clearly. After getting my table, I took a complete view of the cafe and found it a little congested.

However, the two walls, one adjacent to the main entrance and another opposite to the main entrance are beautifully painted with cartoon characters. One wall boasts the mesmerizing life of Mumbai and the other depicts the scenes of the cafe. Y azdegardi says that he simply drew out a few sketches on canvas and a few others on paper and handed them over.

And how! The main section of the cafe has scenes depicting daily Mumbai life while the inside section cheekily named 'The Innside story' has restaurant scenes painted on the walls. Yazdegardi has been warding off media queries largely because he was too young to know what happened in the s'and also in part because he says. O n early Sunday morning, a few hours after Miranda breathed his last Yazdegardi was woken up by a telephone call from a prominent newspaper asking if Miranda had done the 'decorations in your restaurant'.

At first, he thought the journalist was referring to their annual Christmas decorations. Much later, as the phone calls started pouring in, he realised the man whose paintings he grew up watching was no more.

Like each year, the mood in Cafe Mondegar is Christmassy -- lanterns hanging from the ceiling, plastic mistletoes and lights that can brighten the gloomiest of moods. Unlike each year though, the man who in some ways gave the cafe its identity won't be there to see it.
