From romantic dates under the stars to a lazy sunny Sunday catch-up with your friends, cafes with outdoor spaces and terraces are high up on F&B destinations in Bengaluru, mostly thanks to the city's dreamy skies and perfect weather. With that being said, we bring to you these handpicked al fresco spots to enjoy the best food and drinks with breezy weather, making a quintessential combination for your leisure outing.
Tastefully done blue and teal interiors in the flavour of Santorini, Café Azzure is truly understated luxury. Although the cafe has other outlets in the city, their latest magnum opus, nestled on the International Airport Road, is a treat to the eyes. You may choose to sit in the closed or open section on the terrace. The scrumptious food includes Wood-Fire pizzas, mimosas, Alfredo pastas, steaks and sliders.

The incorporation of superfoods like hemp, avocado, quinoa and seeds, berries, moringa, and matcha make this a healthy place to eat at. They are known for appetising salads, sushi and gooey chocolate pies. They have a special emphasis on occasion menus, with the latest one being full of stuff like chocolate mulled wine for Christmas.

Cafe Stone, as the name suggests, is located in the courtyard of a 130-year-old building, with a lovely indoor-outdoor atmosphere. Their yellow and white walls emanate the vibes of Pondicherry's French Colony. Although the food is lip-smacking, the place serves the best-roasted chicken topped with a pepper wine sauce, accompanied by broccoli-infused mashed potatoes and ribbon vegetables. Their in-house plum cake with creme is amazing in winter. And the French toast with blueberry and cream cheese turned out to be our favourite.

While you sip over some cocktails and indulge in the delicacies, the place is perfect to hang out with friends and family. Their Bhut Jolokia Wings, Ghee Roast Chicken, and Masala Fries Pizza are a must-try. We loved their unique street-style offerings like Chai with Parle G and local delights like Talegaon Baby Potatoes, Vada Pav, and Honey Cake.
