Farmlore

Dining out has become a casual affair nowadays, through offers and delivery from one end of the town to another, it has diluted the whole gastronomical experience, well for me at least. So my visit to farmlore was an attempt to rekindle some of that lost charm. To be honest, places like farmlore and grasshopper never really appealed to me, they were always on my radar, but I could never bring myself to actually commit to a visit. Reviews on Zomato, didn't help their case either, but I wanted to give it a shot and here are my impressions. Ambience expectedly was beautiful, cozy and had a sense of occasion about it, that helped set the tone for what was to come. Everyone who waited on us and interacted with us were well mannered and extremely approachable. We opted against the chef table and were seated in a quiet corner. We opted for the 5 course lunch. I won't go into too much detail as to what was served in each course and how it tasted, because of the changing menu, it would be of no use to you. What I will tell you is that I thoroughly enjoyed it. The food in general was delicious, balanced and meticulously thought through, to the point where, the value proposition never crossed my mind. The whole meal was quite filling and I left with a sense of satisfaction that I seldom get spending anything upwards of 3k at any type of restaurant. (Bill for 2 was 7350) So should you visit Farmlore? That depends. If you are the sort that enjoys trying new experiences and are open to exploring something different, you will most likely enjoy the whole experience. If not, you may not come on board what they are looking to offer, and that's perfectly fine. Was I completely blown away by all the dishes? Most of them, Yes. Were some dishes a miss? Yes. Will I visit again? Maybe. Do you think this is something everyone should experience? Absolutely.

TL;DR – A must-try chef-curated experience in Bengaluru. If you love food as art, don’t miss it! The reservation process is smooth, and the team is very accommodating—I even got to reschedule due to a health emergency. The 10-course degustation menu I tried had 3 appetizers, 1 salad, 1 soup, 3 mains, and 2 desserts (changes weekly). Every dish was presented by the chefs themselves, with passion and detail. Arrive early to enjoy their farm and make the most of the journey. It’s truly a MasterChef-level dining experience. Pro tips: • Be on time (it’s a fixed-time experience). • Keep an open mind—some ingredients may surprise you. • They serve both vegetarian and non-vegetarian (no chicken/beef, but could be lamb, fish, crab, or even fire ants!). If in doubt, stick to veg.

Farmlore is that one dining experience that lingers for a long time. The thought that goes into curating each and every dish is applause worthy! Took the 10-course weekend lunch meal (highly recommend the 10 course due to the variety), and every dish was a pleasant surprise. The service is top tier. Got to visit the farm after a heavy lunch and learnt a great deal too! Without revealing too much of the dishes themselves (the menu keeps changing + it's good to be surprised), I highly recommend a visit!

Such a beautiful restaurant that literally creates a core memory. We just landed and my husband surprised me with lunch to this place. I thoroughly enjoyed every course with a walkthrough from the chefs. The wine pairing suggested was also very delicious. Please do visit for a lovely meal tucked inside a mango farm.

Tasting menu set of an 34 acre farm in the heart of Bangalore city. The food is a treat for the eyes and tastebuds. It’s a farm to table concept. They do a wine pairing as well, some of the most exquisite seafood and lamb.

easily the best service in Bangalore. the whole team gets a gold star for the service and the way the dishes are presented. on the downside most of the dishes were either just good or meh. nothing stood out and some things just didn't have a pack a punch of flavour. the earlier courses were definitely great but as the meal went on the courses especially the mains were very underwhelming. the lobster could have been fresher and the duck was definitely on the chewy sides. for what ur paying I think the experience is worth it - in the sense of service, new varieties of food, the molecular gastronomy experience but if ur looking just at the food it's a tad pricy.

Farmlore was a big let-down. Unfortunately, the food did not live up to expectations. There was an overwhelming coconut flavour throughout the meal, and only 3 out of the 10 dishes really stood out. The service was excellent, and the staff were attentive and courteous. However, the overall dining experience was disappointing, especially considering the price we paid. To make matters worse, there were flies around the dining area, including one on our spoon and another on the spoon plate. That was quite unpleasant and certainly not what you would expect from a restaurant at this price point. Overall, the food and hygiene standards were not up to the mark. For the price, we expected a much better and more memorable experience

Manager seems to have forgotten what industry she is in. Basic hospitality is lacking. I barely touched some of the dishes because they were very bland. Not one person came up to us and asked about our experience and why we barely ate any of the food. when I communicated this to the manager, not one apology, just looked right through me and went on her way.

Booked for an an important Birthday 3 weeks in advance and mentioned that it was birthday and that we wanted to sit at a table. When we arrive we find that we are at the bar seating and was met by incredibly rude attitude by the staff and was told to adjust. Seriously wtf. Completely ruined an important day.
