Give the sandwichwallah a break, this round is for the places that turned two slices of bread into a whole evening plan. Sourdough instead of white bread, natural wines instead of soda cans, and a crowd that treats a mid-day lunch run like a minor culinary pilgrimage. The bread's the same idea Mumbai's always loved. It just picked up a few new habits along the way, communal tables, aperitivo hours, dessert menus that refuse to be skipped.These are the spots where the sandwich decided it deserved a seat at the table, literally.
